I would like to become familiar with the color genes of discus. I find the names of various types confuseing due to variances in expression and nameing practices.

Is there a resource on Discus like this page on Angelfish?

I have my favorite angelfish color strains and would like to learn discus the same way.
 
Visit SimplyDiscus.com and DAAH.com the 2 discus boards I know of. there you will probably find banners for some of the discus breeders that support those boards.

But, other than red turquiose discus and brown discus and cobalt discus, and the look or number of the stress bars, most of the names refer to the breeeders own color morph and it can be very hard to trust one name vs another.
