    Default What strain of discus is this based on?

    I know this fish is a toy, but is it based on any real life discus strain?

    It could be based off of some checkerboard type...?

    You would see more rounded circular patterns more than the dashes seen on the toy. Are you looking for an orange fish with white markings?

    Hi and welcome Aquaworld fan .
    This is severely stunted , football shaped pigeon blood discus toy . He was kept under sub par conditions hence the poor baody shape and eye to body ratio .
    You should consider different source for buying your discus

    Could be anything from a Wild to an Alenquer or even a Red Turq. To my eyes anyway.
