Default Question on outcome of Discus Crossing

Just wonder what could be the outcome:

1. By crossing a Red and a Blue Discus?

2. By crossing a Golden and a Blue Discus?

If any hobbyists here has done so, do share you experience on the outcome and which strain and sex of the Discus that you used.

Thanks and appreciate your sharing

Of course, never try never know. I hope to find out more info before making any attempt.

Tay, it will help if your questions is more specific? Eg, What red? Melon? Rose red, alenquer red,..... Blue, what blue? Cobalt ? Blue diamond? Blue turquoise?

Not 1 crossing end results will have fries that grow up to same cos now the discus strain is so rojak

Thanks for the feedback.

I did not specify which Red or Blue as depending on what has been used by the respective hobbyist.

Hopefully, someone has done it and able to share the outcome

The Snow White May got pigeon gene.

This may be the history...unless the snow white is from snow white x snow white : all snow white

Melon x Snow White : red white

Red white x red white : Snow White and red white and browns

I remember there is a discus book called Discus Categories or something
It does record some of the crossing known today
Maybe you can email the writer

I am still waiting for his newer version

Sorry if you think that I just post to add the numbers of posting
