Discus Strains

Below you will find pictures of many different strains of discus, sorted by color. Some color/patterns are called different things by different breeders, I will try to list all names that I come across. The pictures are from Kenny Cheung of Kenny's Discus, the exclusive US importer of Forrest Teo's discus, and their name for the the strains will be listed first. Please visit Kenny's forum on Simply Discus for information and to purchase his fish. A lot of additional information and Q&As can be found on Simply Discus, and on Facebook in the Discus Inside Out group, information contained here is just the beginning.
