The Albino Yellow Golden Discus is a striking fish with vibrant coloration. I kept it in a 200L tank with stable temperature and pH. It’s active and peaceful, and the fish thrive in a well-maintained environment. Regular water changes and consistent temperature help keep them healthy.
Austin Newman –
I started with a 120L tank for juveniles and it worked well. The fish grow quickly and show beautiful yellow and gold patterns. I had to monitor water parameters closely, especially pH and temperature, to keep them happy.
Trevor Hudson –
The fish are very beautiful and active. I use a bare bottom tank for easier maintenance. Keeping the temperature steady at 29°C and pH around 6.8 has made a big difference in their health and color.
