The orange one is supposed to be a pigeon blood. I though pb's were not supposed to have horizontal markings but he has very faint ones reaching only about 1/3 down his sides.
can someone please tell me if it is a pb and if yes, then what kind.

thank you.

You are right pure pigeons don't have vertical bars. That's a pigeon blood cross - they may have bars usually made up of black specks of pigment called pepper. You'll also see pepper on the nose and elsewhere on the body. The other discus does look like a wild. I don't know enough about wilds to guess the type.

the picture is a little fuzzy, but i would guess it to be a wild blue.

I agree - my one wild green who is still coloring up has gotten that intense blue yours has, though mine don't show it in the tail much - yet - we'll see. - if there is actually a wild blue (some have told me there's no such thing actually) then I have one too. I also have a Red Spotted Green Tefe - same blue has started to appear also but not as deep or as bright. and it depends on lighting.......hmmmmmmm....
