Unlike most of the "man made strains", the leopard skin discus is a result of selective breeding from two types of wild red spotted green discus originating from different areas and not a genetic mutation. This was done by Hong Kong breeders,over the course of eight years. They were available in the marketplace in 1993. Variations of the leopard skin discus are the size of the spots with some having rings as well as spots and "rings within rings" - those which have blue highlights within the red rings.
