'ManMade' Discus-Blue Snakeskin Discus



Back in 1994, two breeders in Malaysia as well as some other breeders in other parts of the world, discovered that they had discus which showed 14 stress bars (instead of the usual 9). Unlike the 9 bar discus, these would pass on the very fine striation pattern and the 14 bars. These fish were cross bred with other strains to produce the wide variety of snakeskin crosses that exist today: blue snakeskin, red snakeskin, pigeon snakeskin, solid snakeskin, red spotted, golden snakeskin, and recently, abino snakeskin.

'ManMade' Discus-Blue Diamond Discus



Around 1990, a few famous breeders from Malaysia and Hong Kong had noticed that several of their blue turquoise discus fry were transparent in color and when these fry grew out, they became a solid blue color, lacking patterns on the gill covers, fins, and stress bars. A good quality blue diamond discus will continue to have the solid blue color in addition to red eyes. Some blue diamonds will have a slight yellow coloring on the caudal (tail) fin and some will have finer sized scales.

'ManMade' Discus-Albino Discus


Breeders have created several albino strains, such as albino turquoise, albino blue diamonds, albino snakeskins, albino leopard snakeskins, etc...
Most forms of albinism are the result of the biological inheritance of genetically recessive alleles (genes) passed from one or both parents.

Wild Discus-Blue Discus


Found in near Manaus, the Purus River and Manacapuru in Brazil as well as Leticia, Peru. This fish has a wide variety of "blueness", some appear to be more colorful versions of the Brown Discus, while others, (designated "Royal Blue") have blue stripes/ striations on their bodies, head, and fins.

Wild Discus-Green Discus


Found in the Japura regions of the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon, this fish has a wide range in color, varying from a yellowish green to an olive green to a solid green to a light brownish tan. Many have noticeable green stripes (known as "Royal" Green) and several have red spots on the sides of their bodies.

Wild Discus-Brown Discus


Found near Belem and Rio Urubu, this fish used to be the most common discus species available to hobbyists. It has a nice brown body with the brown ranging from a yellowy-brown to a rusty reddish-brown and it has colorful streaks in it's fins and often times on it's head too. Many hobbyists believe the Brown discus is the easiest to keep and breed in captivity.

Wild Discus-Heckel Discus



Found in mostly Brazil's Rio Negro, this fish has a distinguishing dark "fifth" stripe and has both red and blue varieties. It's named after Mr. Jacob Heckel and is the most difficult discus to keep, because it likes somewhat softer (and lower pH) and warmer water than the other species.

Ingredient is 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar in 300ml of water.
Sugar will gives your flower food and vinegar acts as antibacteria solution to keep your flower healthy
Good luck

Tooth Paste



1)Remove dirt in basin. Toothpaste contains fine abrasive properties which is suitable to clean basin , jacuzzi , etc as it clean your tooth. Squeeze the toothpaste into your basin or jacuzi and scrub it with sponge. My informer told me that some jacuzi maintenance guys use toothpaste to clean your jacuzi and they charge exorbitant price for that.

2)The next time you go for a holiday and swimming with your goggle and found that it is foggy, just go to your hotel room and coat it with toothpaste. Then wipe it off. A clear goggle can prevent accident.

SALT



Use of Salt

1)Sprinkle some salt on your newly prepared salad. The salt will make your salad crisp for few hours

2)Put in a pint of salt the next time u whip/beat eggs.You will notice the beaten egg will rise more and also more firm if you going to cook it.

3)Relief sting of mosquitoes bite. Soak the area of bites with salt water. Then apply vegetable oil. This is alternative if you house run out of Mopiko

4)Salt water also can be use to isolate fresh eggs. Dissolve 3 tablespoon or salt with 1 cup of water. Put in the eggs. The fresh egg will sink.

5)To avoid hard peeling of boiled egg, add in a tablespoon salt into the water that you going to boil with the egg.

6)Oh ya.. , I share my recipee to make salt egg. Put in several eggs into a jar. Cover the jar with salt until the salt cover all the eggs.The more salt, the better. Then pour in water just to cover all eggs. Leave it for 3 months. There goes your salt egg.

7)Hong Kong singer Andy Lau family used to operate a chinese restaurant. He share his secret to make smooth coffee. Throw in the shell of the egg when you make coffee. Of cos you need to remove the egg shell when you serve the coffee.
