Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001	i recently saw some lovely discus at my betta importer's shop, but i forgot to ask what they were. are colours done by breeder with this fish or is there central rules/standards? anyway, the fish in question was the most vibrant orange with a snow/cream white face, it looked very almost painted, no black or unevenness anywhere (and a suitable pricetag) What was it?

Kev said that people were asking if they were painted they were so 'perfect' I was busy drooling over other things, but i did spend some time staring at that tank Melons you say, is that the pattern or the colour or that specific combination of that colour and pattern?

The dark spots in the fins of the fish in the picture are the melannin remnants of the stress bars that all discus have. If the fish at SLS did not have this "peppering" it would described as "clean". __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright
