Red Leopard Snakeskins have much of their pattern as juveniles. The size, quantity and shape of the spots will vary. They are late bloomers with coloration and will not start to develop their final coloration until around 5 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.
