There isn't on mine either, but over-sharpening and auto colour can be decisiving with digital camera images.

NO, no, no, Silvershark has a blue turquoise derivitive. (Red Marlboro is pigeon blood) You would see reddish fins and legs if this was a red turquoise.

There are many names for these guys - most all with blue in the name

Chris - see the red "legs" and fins on yours? Silversharks's photo has blue "legs"

Ahhh...a blue turquoise Discus. Thanks ;D

No I don't have the Discus yet guys, just needed to know the name so I can find someone in England who sells them. If anyone has any other pics of this strain please post them :)
