Hey all there. I'm new here, but I've had an aquarium for ages now. I recently purchased a discus, and I kinda want to know what type it is. He/she? is 3.75 inches I'd say.

I think it's a Red Turquoise, but I'm not sure. Her skin's maroon-ish.

She loves eating, though! It's cute how she follows me around the tank. I though discus were supposed to be shy? She's in a 50 gallon planted with a lot of tetras.

Anyways, some pics would help with ID, ya think? I'll try to get better ones.

Looks like a regular turquoise to me, but stressed. Are those spots of ich on its side? Colors are dark and the vertical bars are usually a sign of stress.
