The pattern on these can very significantly with some have a very fine pattern and others having a much wider, spaced out pattern. They are late bloomers and will not start to develop their final pattern and coloration until around 4 inches. You can tell it is a Snakeskin Discus as it has 14 stress bars as opposed to 7 in other Discus. We are always willing to try and sex our fish for a customer, but we do not guarantee it. All Discus are unique and the coloration/pattern of each can vary. The Discus you are purchasing is a juvenile. Discus will not show their full pattern and final coloration as in the picture until fully mature at around 5-6 inches.

Gallons needed per inch of Discus: 1.5 for 2", 2.5 for 3", 4 for 4", 6 for 5", 8 for 6"
