....it's a random expression......look around the gill plates and first bar.....glitter and snakeskin are markings inherited from wild caught scalare such as Rio Negro and Rio Nanay...

Here's a better pic....mine originated from Plumber Frank...it's thought that glitter may be an expressive gene ?
