What kind of discus is this?

[ChefAlex19]

I might be getting him to go along with my wild discus. He just came in as a trade in to the same lfs where I will be getting my wild peru greens from. He looks nice to me, sorry cell pics.
Is he shaped right? What kind is he thanks?

Looks like some type of turq, doesn't look like it's in great shape either.

[John_Nicholson]

Hard to tell from that picture but I would guess a low quality red turq.

red turq- odd shape

[chocolatefish]

does'nt look good to me.

[ChefAlex19]

Do you think he is heatlhy despite his odd shape? $20 takes him says the lfs.

[ChefAlex19]

Better Pic.

[Sumo Boy 5]

Looks a little stunted

[magewynd]

Save your money and buy some quality food. And don't let the lfs put him in with your wild greens. Start thinking quarantine.

If you want discus buy from one of the sponsors here. Don´t throw your money away and contaminate your tank with "deals" like this one. As my father always said, "The cheap always end up expensive..."

OMG! I just can't believe it......... well, you can't fix...............

[MSD]

Don look at the pattern, look at the body, really poor. Eye ratio is so bad, this is a discus wrong.

[discus6628]

Save the money

[camuth8]

Definitely agree with what everyone's said. Don't want that going in with your wilds for a few months.

[sammy]

This fish is a major train wreck and will give you nothing but grief. I once bought 3 discus in similar shape - this is a stunted growth fish that will never NEVER become what you want no matter how much time and effort you put in. 20.00 ??? the guy should give you 20.00 to take him. If you buy this know that it is already unhealthy.
