High Bodied Green Altum Flora Discus

If you were a child growing up dreaming about discus, this one may very well have been it. The classic Altum pattern harkens back to the striated patterns from vintage strains in the early pioneering years of the hobby.

You know the old saying, “Life Imitates Art”? The High Bodied Green Altum Flora Discus is a great example of how true that is. Seeing the electric blue-green glow set off by the classically dark striations the breed is known for creates a Tron-like effect in the aquarium. Movie buffs will immediately recognize it, and even those who haven’t watched the sci-fi flick will appreciate the cyber-like thrill of color.

Whether it’s the circuit board-like maze of mottled lines, or the very shape of the fish itself, reminiscent of Tron’s identity discs, this breed has a built-in fandom that crosses video game culture, film, and tech geeks. Ready for a show? Turn on the UV lighting for an electric glow that’ll pull you in — without trapping you in a digital universe. Probably.
