    Snakeskins have 14 bars on the body, as opposed to the normal discus which has 9.

    The snakeskin also has a finer skin pattern and finer scales.

    I'd like to see some stress bars to confirm it, but I do think that's a snakeskin.

    Either way, it's a very nice little fish.
    Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P
