Green Alenquer Cross Discus
$41.00 – $159.00
Some say the color green is the color of life, renewal and energy. Others say freshness, harmony and growth. And of course there are those that say green is the color of good luck and money. We think green is all of those and also the color of love which is exactly what you will feel for our beautiful Green Alenquer Cross discus.
I used to work in a junkyard for a very old man who owned very old cars. I was wandering the depths of one of his garages one morning and happened upon a car masked under a tarp. Looking around to ensure my solitude, I threw off the tarp to reveal a 1960 Sunbeam Tiger, plastered in a thick coat of dust. I slowly put my hand to the roof of the car and wiped alongside the driver’s side window, revealing the car’s electric-green skin. I heard my boss entering the garage so I hurriedly covered the beautiful machine back up without a chance to fully clean it off.
This fish likens to the old, smeared, 1960 Sunbeam Tiger that day: electric-green extremities with a smoky—almost dusty—core. It’s a mysterious, handsome balance of color that brings life to any setting. To have color such as that gracing your tank is a rare boast.

I appreciate your following up. I had been planning to write you to ask what you feed the discus. The green alenquer (for the most part) sits back when I feed them. He comes out some so does not appear to be distressed - just not eating as much as I would think he would. (I feed a mixture of dry and frozen, but on Saturday gave them live brine shrimp which everybody but the green enjoyed).
I am attaching a picture of the set up. It is 84 degrees, infused with CO2, 6.6-6.9 pH (normally), but still having plant and algae issues. Hoping the Nerites you sent will take care of that.
