BEFORE




YESTERDAY...he gets scared with the flash jaja


this is a lil wild one that i got one week after i got the two others (pigeons??)


AND THE LAST TWO....THIS ARE WILDS CAUGHTS IN PROVINCE OF "AMAZONAS" IN COLOMBIA
both wild ones are the biggest ones...... they are also afraid of the flash, so they drive me crazy around the tank, but still i get bad pics jeje

Questions from me.

-What name is given to the wild discus i have?, i mean green discus, brown discus, etc... the big ones and the small wild one are the same color variant?

-The hybrids are pigeons blood right?

Symphysodon aequifaciatus axelrodi = brown discus
Symphysodon aequifasciatus aequifasciatus = green discus
Symphysodon discus = Heckel discus
Symphysodon aequifasciatus haraldi = blue discus

http://aquariumhobbyist.com/discus/strains/index.html is a great reference on discus color strains and species.

Pigeon bloods are not hybrids. They are the result of select breeding as are other color strains/mutations.
