not sure if my fish may be sick look at the tail fins .....clear in some pics now its white ish

I dont like the way the fins are down. Hit them with a cycle of quick cure if you are worried or Salt and bump the heat up a tad bit - IMO.

Breeders will call them whatever they wish. They look like they are some form of red whites to me.

It is True that breeders call the same fish by manny different names. The Red Royals look similar at this place butt yours looks like its got Pigen in it. http://www.discusfarm.us/dfdiscus.htm

Pretty discus, look a lot like my Tony Tan White Leopards in pic below. Many different breeder names for similar fish. I don't know what's going on with the fins. I've seem something similar but on the fin edges due to ammonia burn. Did you just get them?

[Trixxxie716]

yes only in my tank 2 days

[pinkertd]

Were they shipped to you?

[Trixxxie716]

ya they were shipped

[pinkertd]

Then I'm thinking you're seeing the results of whatever ammonia built up in the shipping bag. The good news is no meds required. Lots of fresh water, big water changes, a little bit of time and those fins will be fine!
