Turquoise or Snakeskin Discus?

[BillyBlanco]

My cousin bought this fish as a Snakeskin Discus and someone in the marketplace thread said it was a turquoise. My question is which one is it and what is the difference? Thanks =P

But what is the difference? Me and my cousin have been looking at pictures of both and some look similar. We've been debating I say MFK people know best, and he thinks its a Snakeskin.

Turqs have nine bars, snakeskins have 14. The bars I'm talking about are the black lines that run north/south on the side of the body.................

And your cousin has a red turqouise...............

What he said. It's pretty stunted too.

all turq has 9 bars as BODYDUB stated and google for pictures of the snakeskin, you will see they are not similar but remember that snakeskin originally created from turq.
