Blue Turquoise Discus
The overall coloration of Discus will vary depending on mood and overall health of the fish. The Discus has surpassed the Angelfish as the most popular freshwater aquarium fish. Depending on sub-species, the natural range of the Discus extends from the Amazon to the Rio Negro Regions of South America.
Discus require an advanced level of care due to its feeding habits and water filtration requirements. Territorial during spawning, this otherwise peaceful fish is among the schooling group, forming a well-defined nuclear family.
Becoming slightly territorial when breeding, it is best to breed an established pair, or maintain a group of young Discus and allow them to pair themselves. Warm, soft, slightly acidic water is required for spawning. The pair will clean a flat surface.

The Blue Turquoise Discus are stunning and add a vibrant touch to my aquarium. After adjusting the water parameters, they settled in well and started showing natural color changes. The fish are active and peaceful, though I had to invest in a good filtration system.

Beautiful fish with a unique turquoise hue. They are not easy to care for, but once the water conditions are stable, they thrive. I kept them in a group and they formed a natural social structure.

The fish arrived healthy and looked vibrant. I noticed they became slightly territorial during feeding, so I made sure to provide enough space and avoid overcrowding.
