Indo Red (High Body)

Indo Red (High Body) is a taller-bodied Indo Red discus combining vivid red coloration with a more dramatic high-body profile.

Appearance

A taller-bodied Indo Red discus combining vivid red coloration with a more dramatic high-body profile. 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 taller profile creates a particularly impressive display presence.
  • Good specimens combine body height with even red coloration and balanced fins.
  • Allow adequate swimming space so the high-body form can be appreciated fully.
  • Fish are sold per piece. Size is measured approximately from head to tail.
  • Current-stock photographs or videos can be requested before ordering.
