Usually, when you cross a pigeon blood type discus with a blue discus you get lots of peppering in the fry. I hope you grow out a few to 4 inches in size and post some photos of them. It will be interesting to see how these fry turn out.

Both of these fish have pigeon blood genes, the exception is the male is also an albino. But when you consider the offspring between an albino and a non albino, you have to treat the albino as a non-albino. In this case that would be a red melon (PB based) x a mercury(also pb based).

The mercury strain is not the same as say a blue diamond or blue cobalt, the mercury is a pigeon blood.

Awesome! I love love love baby fishies! One of my new discus just spawned today too.. tho there will be no babies, the fish she hangs out with all the time showed no interest in fertilizing them.. it's still pretty darn exciting! =)

Amazing after a month they look like mini-me's. Good luck with the new batch as well.
