I have one. I've posted lots of pics of this guy before, but I'll post him here. His pattern continues to change, and now his white spots have red spots inside them. He colors up better when there's a girl fish around (his tail and halo get much darker), but this is him otherwise. He's probably almost 2 years old. I got him almost 18 months ago when he was 4.5".

So when you got your discus it looked similar to the pictures Kyla posted and then changed? I actually really like the pattern your discus shows and only peppering in parts of the fins and Caudal fin.

Steph... Gorgeous fish ! But was thag sold to you as a red eagle? If so where from? I didn't think they got to look this way and I had a large one about a year back... Curious as to some more details

Either way you got a big nice looking guy on your hands !

Sorry for my slow reply... yes, Kenny sold him to me as a Red Eagle. This is him (same fish!) when he first arrived. And yes, he has really grown, I need to measure him!

Holy crap what a transformation!! thats amazing

What a great job you did growing him out, I had no idea their patterns would change so much!

[fishtanktenderfoot]

Thanks! It's taken a bunch of Al's FDBW to grow him out! He eats a ton...

If you want to see the time lapse of his growth in 3 month increments, I posted them here (let's see if I do this right):

It's almost time for my next update there...

I had seen discus as the one you had shown above but had no idea that they transformed to that from a Red Eagle. TFS
