This is just sick

I highly doubt the tails of these discus are intentionally "clipped" at an young age.
It that is the case, then why are there only two strains available?
Think about it, if this practice can be done on the red and orange strains, why couldn't it be done on the different strains of discus? Wouldn't that potentially attract a bigger audience by selling more than just two strains?
Or is it a different case?
Are these genetically mutated by birth and it just happens that only the red and orange strains are so far "developed" to produce future generations of "tailess" and "short-body heart shaped" discus?
I believe the latter makes more sense to me unless there are proven facts to disapprove it.

wow thats is sad...
I really think they are bred that way, they are not much different then the redsnow butterfly discus that have been bred for years, there is also a tailess strain blood parrot and even tailless angel fish. People like oddities and will try to breed anything out of the ordinary like veiltails, shortbodies, angelwing stingrays, etc.
