I have the same two discus myself.....first picture and then the blue patterned one (my description). I have heard then called a few different name probably due to different strains of same fish. I would be interested also to know exactly what they are.

Cheers

I've got no idea on colours but I'm trying to understand them so for fun I'm going to say Red Spotted Green for number one.

Cobalt for the guy at the back of picture number two.

The other guy I'm not sure about. Red Turq but pattern is spotted so...

Hopefully someone who knows will reply so I can check my answers!

red spotted greens have big dots all over them no stripes just like the eruption but the eruption has small dots all over you have very nice discus but i will say they are turks x leopards

Whoever told you that needs to read and learn a bit more.

Scott is spot on.

They all look great to me but how do you get them to live with all that coral in salt water? You've done well :)
