Snakeskin

Representative Discusphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.

Selected for a dense fine-scale pattern producing extra (often 15+) vertical stress bars and a netted look. Frequently combined with other lines for high-detail patterning.

Keeper tips for this variant

Pattern density is set genetically but contrast sharpens with excellent diet and water; feed a varied beefheart/seafood blend in small frequent meals for best fin and pattern development.
