Classic Pigeon Blood Discus
$98.00
Most, if not all, passionate aquarists will tell you the fabulous Discus is aquarium royalty. I thought so too before this hobby turned into a full-fledged passion. How can you not think of these freshwater marvels as kings and queens of any aquarium? Their discus-shapes are a surreal canvases of bright hues that are often marbled with stripes and bands that are unique to every Discus.
I fell in love with these Amazonian treasures more when I had a family of my own. My son wanted to feed them bloodworms when the entire school in my aquarium took it right from his fingers. Mommy and Daddy Discus fish take care of their fry, who suckle up to them for nourishment from a special mucus under their parents’ scales. That’s when my love for Discus fish grew exponentially. These noble, docile beauties are playful and caring, just like us!
The Classic Pigeon Blood Discus is my personal favorite. This particular one has bright metallic orange stripes all over its white fins and body. My favorite thing to do to unwind is watch these nocturnal majestic animals glide through my aquarium with dark strata to enhance their breathtaking beauty even more. With enough care, this gorgeous Discus will be part of your family for a decade or more as you enjoy their hues and patterns change with their mood and as they mature and develop.

Good morning, Mike. 2 weeks ago you sold me fish over 1500$. I have some questions...
My order only had 5 discus fish in it. I was missing a classic leopard blue base discus. From Michael: I'll check my records and email you separately.
All the fish seem happy healthy, eating... I am receiving a few boxes on live animals on Tuesday also - not sure if that's because weather will be best then or what. It's thin, but I'll fatten it up over the next few weeks
There is a decent amount of peppering but overall I am pretty happy with this fish. This fish has paired up and started laying eggs which is pretty neat.
