Nice Forrest !!

Hi Fishgirl,
first of all,i have to say that the camera(Canon) that i using has enhance a little bit color of the fishes by itself,but not PHOTO SHOP.

The Red Golden Diamond has been raised with pigheart/beefheart with astaxanthin added into their diet.

I was wondering, what makes u think that those fishes have been fed with carophyll pink? Does any part of body on the fishes that show the fishes has been colored with carophyll pink?are you aware of any special genetic trait difference between the Red Golden Diamond and other red fish? What about the intensity of red color between males and females of the RGDs?

By the way the reddest fish in the photo is a female Red Golden Diamond.

here is a pic that i just took today after about 2 months recieved from my friend.

best rgds,
forrest.

Fishgirl,

I agree with Forrest...Red Golden Diamonds when feed with astaxanthin in there diet along with shrimp will turn very red. Additionally, as Forrest mentions the red coloration on females are more intensely red. Here are some of my RGD fish that are only fed with LCBW, FBW and a Seafood mix with Beef and astaxanthin once per day. I also believe these are the females. The fish are actually redder in person than in these pictures.

Forrest and Dan,
They are just stunning,colour,shape, i hope mine turn out to be as good as they are.Well done, but i think more have to be sent over to Australia,hopefully to Darren @A1 so we can all enjoy them in our homes and not just look at them on here.

Just curious, any news on breeding those stunning red fish yet?

[MSD]

My question would be, why does a 21 post "Fishgirl" make such ignorant statments about a breeder we have bought so many excellent fish from over the years???

[mikel]

I dont know what fishgirl is trying to imply, but I have to say that these fish are just magnificent. They might just get me to start another big tank just for them if and when they become available. All the best Forrest! mike

[aquadiva]

WOW! These fish are beyond stunning!! Please send them to Kenny for his Feb. shipment. I can't imagine waking up to that beautiful bright red each morning Winters are long here, skies are grey, I need some bright red discus to brighten my days!!
