Hi guys,

I was going through Tony Tan's FB page, IP Discus - Tony Tan (https://www.facebook.com/Ipdiscus/photos/pb.283503745040610.-2207520000.1415883564./672634569460857/?type=3&theater) and came across a photo that didn't have the variety name. Could you guys please help me out and tell me which variety it is.

Cheers.

It looks very much like four of my discus. Mine are from Kenny/Forrest and they are called Altum Floras. This type of Discus has many names depending on the breeder. It could be a Turk of some kind as well. More experienced people here on SD I'm sure will give you a better assessment than me.

This looks to be mostly a Red Turquoise type, I think the commercial name would be a Spotted Red Turquoise but who knows, the names can be all over the place.

Regardless, it's a beautiful fish. The proportions and symmetry are pretty close to perfect, coloring is great, et al. Does it get better than this? Not to my eyes.
