Albino Yellow Discus 4″ – LiveAquaria
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 to lay eggs.

The Albino Yellow Discus are striking in appearance and very active in a well-maintained tank. I’ve kept them for six months and they’ve adapted well to the soft, warm water. They form a nice group and are peaceful when not breeding. Only need to monitor water parameters closely.

Beautiful fish with vibrant yellow coloring. They do get territorial during breeding, so I kept them in a group of five. The water needs to be soft and warm, which I maintain with a reliable filter and regular testing.

Great addition to a freshwater aquarium. The fish are active and colorful. I noticed they clean flat surfaces when preparing to spawn, which is fascinating to observe. Maintenance is a bit involved, but worth it for the visual appeal.
