The Snakeskin Discus is another type of Symphysodon aequifasciatus, which is a species of cichlid fish native to the Amazon Basin in South America. As its name suggests, this variety of Discus is characterized by its intricate scale pattern, which resembles the scales of a snake.
II. You would love the fish because…
The Snakeskin pattern can come in a variety of colors, including red, brown, and blue, and is often set against a lighter base color.
Like other Discus varieties, the Snakeskin Discus can be challenging to care for and requires specific water conditions and a balanced diet.
They prefer a well-maintained aquarium with clean, warm water (around 82-86°F) and a slightly acidic pH level (around 6.0-6.5).
They are omnivores and should be fed a varied diet of high-quality foods, including live or frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, and other protein-rich options.
One of the things that makes the Snakeskin Discus appealing to aquarium enthusiasts is its unique and eye-catching appearance.
The intricate scale pattern can be quite mesmerizing to look at, and the different colors available make it easy to create a visually interesting aquarium.
However, as with any type of Discus, it’s important to provide them with the specific care and conditions they need to thrive.
III. Is this fish species peaceful or hostile?
Discus are generally peaceful and calm fish, but because they are cichlids, they can be aggressive toward one another, particularly when they are attempting to pair off and spawn. If the fish are unable to compete, they should be removed. The majority of serious hobbyists keep their discus separate from other species.

V. How to feed this species?
As omnivores, they will thrive on Shrimp Pellets, Aqueon Tropical Flakes, Color Flakes, Spirulina Flakes, Tropical Granules, and Algae Rounds. Both frozen and live foods should be given to the animals as treats or to encourage spawning. Beef heart is not harmful, but it is not a natural food for discus, which some hobbyists and breeders feed them. Rotate their diet daily and only feed them what they can eat in two to three minutes, once or twice a day for best results.
