    Default What strain?

    Was wondering what strains of discus i currently have. Seems every lfs has a different name for the same fish and figured the experts can help me out. I will post pics and what the lfs called them.

    The one labeled as an RSG looks like a snakeskin to me. How many bars does it have?

    that's typical. As they grow they show bars less unless stressed
