[GSPOT]

HELLO,

MY NAME IS DANI.
I RECENTLY GOT A NEW DISCUS, AND THE SHOP WHERE I GOT THEM TOLD ME THAT THAY ARE LEOPARD SNAKESKIN.

Welcome to the forum Dani.

It's possible the parents (or one parent) were snakeskins, but they don't always breed true, depending on the grandparents.

What you have there is a lovely group of red turquoise discus. Very nice shape, and well grown.

Enjoy them, they are lovely.

Cheers :P

Hi Dani,
I have to agree with Ladyred and Nick, your fish are definitely Red Turquoise variant, nice looking fish.
