'ManMade' Discus-Blue Snakeskin Discus



Back in 1994, two breeders in Malaysia as well as some other breeders in other parts of the world, discovered that they had discus which showed 14 stress bars (instead of the usual 9). Unlike the 9 bar discus, these would pass on the very fine striation pattern and the 14 bars. These fish were cross bred with other strains to produce the wide variety of snakeskin crosses that exist today: blue snakeskin, red snakeskin, pigeon snakeskin, solid snakeskin, red spotted, golden snakeskin, and recently, abino snakeskin.
