Forrest, those are simply stunning fish. Any news with the breeding program? I would love to see some of these coming to the states soon.

I think those are the Red Golden Diamonds breed by Forrest in 2007....perhaps I could be wrong lah.

What is the difference between these guys compared to a Rose Red or Red Clover?

Hi Renee,


My guess are

1.Red Golden Diamonds got golden base genes & when stressed no bars in the body.
2.Rose Red got brown base genes and has bars in the body.....San Merah is an improved version & no bars in the body even when stressed..
3.Red Cover got pigeons base genes & stressed got peppering in it's body.

Hi Renee,

I am only guessing & could be wrong....better let the experts here to explain the details.

I think the idea is to breed out the black peppering. The 3Rs I purchased were golden based and not PB. Its the main reason I would like to breed the royal ruby reds instead of the tangerines I have atm.

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.
