Red Melon Throwback Discus
$75.00 – $190.00
Red is one of the most powerful colors on the spectrum; it is a fierce, invigorating color that makes your brain want to get up and get things done. Companies use red to energize their customers or whenever they need a color that’s empowering. One of my favorite film genres is horror, specifically slasher films, because the way filmmakers exaggerate the color of blood makes my brain feel, somewhat ironically, alive! That’s how I feel looking at the red melon throwback discus: alive.
The shining, scarlet fish almost elicits a sense of danger; but that’s coupled with a sense of elegance that makes me unable to look away. Having one of these little guys swimming around my tank gives me a sense of personal robustness, like I can get anything done. You wouldn’t think a domestic pet could arouse that kind of sensation, but that’s the power of the discus.

So here’s my experience. I’m new to discus and I was fascinated by the beauty of the ones on Discus.com. I placed my order and after a week or so I reached out to the company owner, michael, and asked how much longer they would be. He said he was aiming to ship the following week and didn’t have everything that I wanted. He gave me the option of waiting or providing other options, so I sent him images of ones I found online that I liked as an alternative selection and he shipped them out Thursday the following week. Sadly, UPS failed to deliver on Friday and over the weekend. I stayed in contact with Michael the whole time and he reassured me that he would look after me.
Monday the package arrived (smelling awful) I unboxed them and took a few pics of the dead fish before running the box out to the trash. Michael assured me not to worry and shipped a replacement the next day, which arrived on Wednesday. Michael stood by me the whole time. Here’s a pic…
My fish are in the process of acclimatization, they are very beautiful and an excellent choice that you made for my thanks.
Dear Mr. Li: After receiving a shipping, I noticed the Red Fuji Discus has a lot of black spots on gills and fins. I though that was from the natural born, but after 2 days, others fish stated having black spots on gills, fins, and body. On the day three, all the fish got it. I started raised the temperature to 88 and used API-General Cure for treatment. Try to hold off my second shipment for one week or two. Anything I can do to help my fish. I am new to discus. Thank you, An From Michael: The small black spots are what is called peppering in discus. It is normal for any pigeon strain, and does not indicate the fish are sick.
