Blue Leopard Discus, Orange Base
$44.00 – $155.00
Just as the Peony is considered the “Queen of the Flowers,” the Discus is frequently called the “King of the Aquarium Fishes,” and for the same reasons, both are grand, brightly colored, have unique shapes and are available in a great many varieties. The majestic, elegant, and lovely Discus fish earns their title with their stately elegance and noble bearing and are often considered the high point of tropical fish keeping. The stunning Blue Leopard Discus certainly earns its place in that Royal moniker with its fluorescent sky blue finely patterned striations over the brilliant orangey-red base. These colors and patterns extend to the tip of its pectoral and dorsal fins, giving the impression of speeding even while almost stopped. The tail fin is translucent with a touch of orangey pattern on the bottom edge, and the eyes are a deep burnt-orange with a black streak across it, making it an incredibly striking fish for your collection.
The Blue Leopard Discus’ quiet, flowing, and graceful natures inspire attention and exude tranquility like no other fish. Their disc shape bodies and narrow width draw in the eyes, and their finely etched patterns of blue and orange will leave you relaxed with their near hypnotic dance across your tank. Available in sizes ranging from 2.0” to 6,” these Discus are ready to step into the spotlight in your aquarium.

Blue Leopard Orange Base - amazing specimen. He’s the king of my tank, and is always trying to keep the two little guys away which is an all day job. He eats well and has great patterns and color. Wish he was a little more orange. There was some ammonia burning on the fins when he arrived which will go away
- maybe use larger bags for the larger fish which may help alleviate that issue.
Haven't lost any altums since those first 3 And they are already eating freeze-dried black worms and texture color granules. The disgusts have nibbled on the freeze-dried blackworms and they are slowly eating the color granules. I will definitely send a better picture of each individual fish tomorrow when I have time to sit down and not rush. I'm very glad I decided to order from discus.com. I work at Petco in the fish department Saturdays and Sunday till close and yesterday I showed a lot of people the pictures of the fish I ordered in from you and they love them and there is a few discus geeks as customers so hopefully they'll get on your site and place some orders sometime.
So excited caught video of my discus spawning. Male leopard guarding the eggs while the female is eating. Then the female takes her turn guarding while the male eats. From Michael: Spectacular! Congrats, new discus dad! Successful spawning behavior is the ultimate proof that your water conditions are correct.
Doing well, have spawned twice waiting on a third one to try and save some babies. I wasn’t set up the first two times, it happened to quick.
Thanks for the update but I'm going to be pretty busy, The discus I received from you in my shipment are now spawning, pretty awesome! Lol yup I bought them cause I wanted a challenge to breed, I've pretty much spawned every type of fish you can think of. But I wasn't ready to happen this fast.
Ok keeping an eye on it not being active like the rest the two ocean green started exploring this afternoon so no worries about them. But the little white spots on German are concerning. Raised the temp a little and added a bit of aquarium salt, I try not to use meds unless it's the last resort. Thanks for being so invested in your product guaranteed repeat business from me and I will let anyone interested know about you and discus.com. From Michael: Always use Paraguard for transit-caused ammonia burns. Everything will heal within a week.
Fish are looking really good. Their colors are vibrant and they look very healthy. I’m extremely happy with this purchase!
All arrived alive! Blue Leopard struggling (magnificent fish and so big!!), but dripping as fast as I dare to acclimate Thank you! I finally feel excited about my tank again. Gotta tell you.. these Rams are FABULOUS they are my favorite small fish. Thanks again MichaelUpdate: all are eating and happy as they can be. Thanks again.
