    Default Does anyone know what they are??

    Hello everyone,
    even though I do not post much on here but I've learned so much on here and made keeping discus more fun for me.
    I do own 13 discus in my tank with 3 corydoras.

    I do know most of the names of my discus expect 4 of them.
    Does any know what they are called?

    I've also read multiple times on here that the stress bars are usually when the fish are stress.
    They do not hide and only 3-4 of them shows the stress bar.
    Might there be something wrong with them?

    Thank you all for your help in advance.
    Harry.

    The blue one looks like a Blue Scorpion. Reds spots could be a Blue Carnation or a Cobalt Carnation.

    My guesses are;
    Pic 1&2 I'd say is a blue turq
    Pic 3 Spotted leopard or possibly eruption snakeskin
    Pic 4 not sure...possibly a turq x leopard
    Pic 5 turq x cobalt, possibly early generation scorpion
    My disclaimer; far from an expert, lol

    Discus with similar genetic make-up can have very different sales names. Look for stress bars, pattern, body color, pepper and eye color to determine type of discus.******

    1.Blue Turq
    2.Blue Turq
    3.Leopard Snakeskin
    4.Leopard
    5.Blue Scorpion
    Grasshopper

    Photo one and two is a different photo of the same fish. Which is why it appears to be the same species.

    My guess is the last one cobalt. Scorpions usually have the snake skin pattern on their gills.
