Bulldog Dicus.?

Question

What is a bulldog discus?
Are they more special than the normal discus? What color do they come in? Are they rare to find?. ect. ect. Any information about them would be great.
We just added one to the tank. He looks very cute. ^_^

Answer 1

Bulldog is a term given to a strain of discus which have taller bodies & pushed back faces. They seem to be marketed in leopard patterns.

They are not especially rare and are not esteemed by Discus fanciers around the world as the condition is considered a deformity.

I do hope you haven't put this fish in the 22g tank with the guppies. Discus grow to larger than a CD and should be grown on in shoals as juveniles.

Answer 2

I think someone is making up a name for your discus. I can't find anything about a "bulldog" discus. I came across dialogues where it was mentioned that the discus had a bulldog-like face or a bulldog-like personality, so maybe that's where this person got that name, but those were just attributes, not the correct name of the fish. Perhaps you should look at some of these pictures and see if you can find which one looks like your fish and then you will know what its real name is and be able to then find more information about it.

Answer 3

Noticed a couple of in Serangoon central, Singapore aquarium. It is a brand new breed. Compact physique, just suppose, a normal Discus being squash in btw the pinnacle and tail... It's sort of crude, but the fishes I noticed was quite healthy. It is relatively high-priced now..New breed mah. Haha.

NEOGENICS (EUGENICS?) IN A NUT- SHELL

WHAT IS NEOGENICS?
It is human genetics applied to alleviate human sufferings and to improve the human gene pool. With this we copy nature’s own reproductive plan (differential fertility). Major social problems like crime, poverty and illness are partly genetic and the remedy should also be genetic. So think genetically and act genetically. Good genetic endowment is the best asset to attain prosperity and except human beings all other living creatures survive and progress in this way.

WHAT CAN WE ACHIEVE?
1. Neogenics bridges the genetic gap in certain superior traits existing between the elite and the average. It compensates the selective migration of superior genetic stock from the poor to the rich, from the rural to the urban areas and from the underdeveloped to the developed nations.
2. Biological socialism leads to economic socialism. All attempts made so far to achieve economic socialism by imposing Marxism/communism have not achieved the desired goal. Capitalist countries witnessed considerable economic progress but failed miserably in equitable distribution of wealth. Biological socialism is the only hope to bridge the gap in wealth between the rich and the poor in a democratic way.
3. Neogenics helps increase the number of good minds and to reduce crime, corruption, cruelty etc. Attempts to transform society through moral preaching have not yielded any lasting results. Genetic transformation of the society will assure lasting peace and harmony. Repeated studies of twins have proved again and again the genetic basis of intelligence and behavior.
4. Racial mingling through neogenics will put an end to violence created on racial grounds.
5. By reducing the incidence of genetically transferable diseases (most diseases have a genetic base), great improvement in health can be achieved and thereby considerable reduction in medical expenditure.
6. Increasing the intelligence and EQ of the common man according to the needs of a civilized and technologically advanced society. The benefits of ascending EQ & IQ in a population are rather beyond our imagination.
8. Neogenics is the only method now available to correct genetic disorders in order to protect the right of the unborn. A child has a legal right to begin life with a sound mind and a sound body.
All these will reduce human suffering and place the human race on an evolutionary track as nature has been doing for the last several millions of years. It may be noted that we are the only species capable of directing our evolution in a manner that suits our wisdom leading to the betterment of our less fortunate fellow citizens and the species as a whole.
HOW TO ACHIEVE (ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS GIVING FULL RESPECT TO FREE WILL?
1. Encourage the production of more children among the healthy and the gifted couples.
2. Discourage the reproduction of the habitual criminals, mentally challenged and the sick.
3. Start sperm/egg banks of selected donors of better EQ and IQ for the benefit of the infertile couples (10 to 12 per cent of the population) and for those daring couples who want to bring about improvement of the genetic stock of their future generations.
4. Popularize genetic screening and genetic counseling to prevent genetically transmitted diseases
All the above steps may be needed till the advancement of genetic engineering reaches a level that enables genetic transformation of a society or individual through gene therapy, cloning or other means yet to be discovered or envisaged.
