Snake skin Discus

[Carol_Roberts]

Snakeskin Has more than 10 bars (usually 14 or 16), a very fine pattern over the body usually blue with a tan or red base.

They have a distintive snakeskin patterning on the gill plate

Here is a young fish where you can clearly see the bars and paterning - again look at the gill plate

Hi Carol,
This question is off topic...but what strain of discus is the specimen in your profile picture. It is beautiful. I would love to see a larger view.

Thank you,

The fish in the foreground is a young pigeonblood (the blue ones are cobalts)

Carol, I think that pigeon blood of yours is about the prettiest fish I have ever seen. What a beauty!

Thank you Carol. He is a very beautiful fish. But looks alot different than a PB I have. Mine is red with the black spots. Is there that much variation in PB's?

thanks again!

[Carol_Roberts]

There is lots of variety in pigeon bloods.

Hi Carol
Love you fish pictures. Might I ask what type of digital your using . ;D
I have a Cannon power shot s10and frankly a little disapointed with the pics it take . I have trouble taking moving fish pics and freezing the shot without blurring.
When I take a photo it has a delay so by the time the camea clicks the fish has moved out of the frame.
Any hot tips on digital photography ??? ???
