Appearance

A classic solid-blue discus with a smooth metallic sheen, clean body color and timeless show-tank appeal. Actual coloration, pattern intensity and body markings can vary naturally between individual fish and may continue developing as the fish matures.

Temperament

  • Generally peaceful and social when maintained under suitable discus conditions.
  • Best kept with other discus of a similar size; a group of around 5 or more is commonly preferred when aquarium size and filtration allow.
  • Sensitive to abrupt changes in water quality, temperature and environment, so a calm and stable aquarium is important.

Care Requirements

  • Water temperature: approximately 28°C to 30°C.
  • pH: around 6.0 to 7.0, with stability being more important than chasing an exact number.
  • Water: clean, well-filtered water with regular water changes. Soft to moderately mineralised water can work well for captive-bred discus when they are properly acclimated.
  • Filtration: strong biological filtration with gentle, non-stressful flow.

Diet

Feed a varied, high-quality diet suitable for discus, including quality pellets or granules, flakes and appropriate frozen foods. Offer sensible portions and remove uneaten food to protect water quality.

Special Notes

  • The strain is prized for uniform blue coloration rather than heavy body patterning.
  • A darker aquarium background can intensify the perceived blue tone.
  • Clean fins, rounded body shape and even coloration are especially desirable.
  • Fish are sold per piece. Size is measured approximately from head to tail.
  • Current-stock photographs or videos can be requested before ordering.
