Was wondering what strains of discus i currently have. Seems every lfs has a different name for the same fish and figured the experts can help me out. I will post pics and what the lfs called them.

The one labeled as an RSG looks like a snakeskin to me. How many bars does it have?

6-9. He hides a lot and the older and bigger he gets the more they seem to fade

that's typical. As they grow they show bars less unless stressed

So more than likely he's a blue snake skin. Any info on the others? I was told at one time the one labled RSG was a stripped leopard and the one labeled as a RSS was not a snake skin. And what is your opinion on the brilliant blue and blue turq they have paired up and layed eggs. Any ideas what the baby's would look like or be called?
