Post Favorite Strain

In the very incestual world of the discus there are many many different strains out there. I was just curious about a few things.

1) what is every ones favorite strain

2) favorite or particular breeder?

Probably would have to be the Red Spotted Green F-2 *and you can find the pic on http://www.macsdiscus.com. I have never bought a discus of a specialized breeder but if i decided to i would buy form macsdiscus, only go to the store not order it off the internet

Hehe. I like pidgeon's blood. I know they're common but I really like how they look.

Hey fishboy.

Any particular reason not to order online from them or is it just a feeling? Heard some stories?

I love Gold Marlboros and Blue Heavens.  Both types will be going in my new tank.  As for a favorite breeder, I'd recommend www.GreatLakesDiscus.com.  I haven't ordered from their yet but I will most definately do so.  There strains are wonderful, prices excellent, and staff knowledgeable.  I have talked to Cary, the owner, and am 100% confident with the hatchery.   smiley*
