discus id needed

Hi

i bought a pair of discus today. the lfs informed me it came from Jack wattley hatchery.
The picture below is the male. Female still shy so she is hiding behind the filte. it was named something with a "s" .
The female looks more like turquiose.
can anyone id the strain for me. Is it from jack Wattley hatcheries?

 

Looks like snake skin but not sure.

 

It looks like a turquoise snake skin. It could be a cross breed but a beautiful fish none the less.

 

Either way, its stressed! Hopefully it settles in.

 

hi
i found out the type of discus it is today. the lfs had it named as Siamanikian Blue

 

Pretty! Whatever a "Siamanikian blue" is when it's at home :wondering:
Definitely a Snakeskin, as you can tell by the high number of bars. No question about that. Blue snakeskin, turquoise snakeskin, both would be reasonable ways of describing it. Discus strain names are to a large extent made up by the breeders and there's not much consensus on the more fanciful ones. Either way, I really like it, especially the light blue in body / dark blue in fins look.

 

If I may...what did you pay for these beauts? really amazing!

 

Now that is the "type/colouration/strain" of Discus I would love to keep. Beautiful colour...

 

@Kula13 I paid R1800 for a breeding pair

 

whats that patch close to its tail? looks like velvet? hope its not though, keep an eye on it... beautiful fish! show us the pic of the other pairing
