Pearl Pigeon Snakeskin Discus, Solid Base

This hybrid discus sports vivid crimson scales that ombré into a gentle shade of creamsicle orange in the gill and belly regions. As the fish matures, a uniquely opaque speckled pattern develops across its body. Vibrant blue streaks across the pelvic and anal fins provide a subtle touch of aesthetic refinement. With its pearly spotted print and deep red color tone (rivaled only by the Japanese sunrise), this discus certainly lives up to its name and makes for a great addition to any collection.

A creamy-yellow base serves as the backdrop for the dramatic, red snakeskin pattern found on this introduction by Kitti Phanaitthi. The reddish hues deepen considerably as they approach the dorsal fin, which, along with the anal fin, is sometimes marked with iridescent blue stripes. A dull-brown, semi-transparent caudal fin adds a hint of subtlety to this otherwise lustrous hybrid.
