Golden Leopard Discus, Orange Base
$44.00 – $155.00
In our house, summertime meant putting up food for the winter. Countless hours were spent picking fruits and vegetables, shucking and cutting corn, steaming, peeling, and crushing tomatoes, stringing beans, and making preserves. You name the fruit or vegetable, I can guarantee that we had it canned, frozen, or pickled. Out of all the food that we worked with; I loved peaches the best. My grandmother would make fried peach pies. My mother would bake peach cobblers. With the windows and doors open, and the box fans in the windows, the scents from our kitchen would waft through the neighborhood bringing neighbors, relatives, and sometimes people that we barely knew to our screen door trying to score some baked goods. But the best thing about peaches for me was the homemade peach ice-cream.
The Golden Leopard Discus takes me back to those summers spent fighting with my brother over who was in charge of our antique wooden churn. The streaks of orange are the same vibrant color of the syrup my mom made from the peaches. She would drizzle the sugary rivulets over that sweet succulent scoop of cold cream that sat perfectly atop a slice of still warm from the oven buttermilk pound cake.
Watching this strikingly beautiful fish swim in the tank brings a smile to my face. As the light reflects off the brilliantly orange coloring of the golden leopard discus, orange base, I can’t help but remember lazy, peaceful days. It was tranquil, it was sweet, it was perfect.

Very pleased with fish and Michael's followup and conversations. From Michael: Gene, 3" baby fish will not have their full patterns/colors. This will change once the fish hits 4.5".
Here is a picture of the 4 Discus I received yesterday. Thank you so much.
Good morning Michael, I’m and enjoying the discus and I’m wanting to get 4 more with a few more Corys. It’s probably going to be in February or January I’ll order them and looking forward to getting some new colors for the tank. Thank you for the awesome service! They eat from my hands! And are so happy and swimming all day long!
They are looking very good. Thank you.
Hello Michael, all of my fish arrived alive and are doing great! What do you recommend feeding them? Question, what is your favorite discus fish? In your opinion out of all the fish I received from you what color am I missing? I want a beautiful colorful collection lol. Also since you did not have the blue discus please refund me so I can order one when you get them in stock. I truly appreciate everything. Kristin
