The original gold discus was the result of a breeding of brown discus by Malaysian breeder. The original fry grew up to become fish with a golden base, white stripes covering the front half of the body, and red eyes. Later refinements developed golden discus with less white markings. Golden discus are often cross bred with pigeon blood discus to eliminate the black 'peppering' on the bodies and the black fins of the pigeon blood - a true golden will have a transparent pectoral and caudal (tail) fins
