    Red face Need Help to identify Discus Strain

    Hi Guys! , i have been lurking around in this Forum for a while, this is my 1st time posting, I apologize in case any mistakes were made.

    I have been keeping discus for nearly a year now, i have trouble identifying the strains of the discus i own.
    I could make guesses as to what they are, but i would like to seek the experts here

    They are about 9 months old, around 10 inches for some of them
    Sadly i do have 2 or 3 stunted ones, you might notice them in the pictures

    Im from Malaysia (Sarawak) , so i guess they should originate from ASIA.

    Picture 1. Blue ones are cobalt, spotted at front is a leopard and spotted at back is leopard snakeskin. The little red one in the reflection is a red cover.
    Picture 2. Red melon (pigeon blood) in middle and blue diamond bottom left.

    Difference between blue diamond and cobalt is that a blue diamond has no black bars.
    Different between a spotted leopard and leopard snakeskin is that a leopard snakeskin has 14 bars rather than 9 and this makes the spots smaller. Your leopard snakeskin looks like it has golden genes, so the bars are not visible (therefore called golden leopard snakeskin). Leopard snakeskin is sometimes called eruption.
