Sapphire Ruby Discus, Dark Burgundy Base

Sometimes subtlety shines brighter than any neon color. We’re taught not to judge books by their covers, but it’s impossible to ignore the plain, burgundy leather-bound book on a shelf crowded with glossy covers, the book you’d pull expecting it to lead to secret passages.

Introducing the Sapphire Ruby Discus, Dark Burgundy Base–as round and red as a bloated sun after a summer storm. Seeing it reminds me of finding an unexpected gemstone, one I would pick up and hold to the light, before carrying it around with me for good luck.

This fish is an underwater fireball. And like a flame, only by looking close can you see the subtle lines and stripes that give it depth and shape. This color commands attention with its intense, rich redness, like the blinding flash of red a hero sees each time a villain appears on screen. Watch as this hero flashes across your tank.
