Yellow Discus Fish Room
Sometimes a color can remind us of things we don’t care to think of, but maybe, just maybe, it’s reminding us to take a closer look at that concept. Take yellow for example. I can remember going to see the movie Patton starring George C. Scott in the title role of the aggressive World War II general. Scott yells at a soldier who was a coward. My dad loved that movie. Why? I’ve always wondered about that and I think this yellow discus is telling me the answer, finally.
To be yellow, whether in war or in peacetime, is basically to be the scaredy cat, to be the chicken, to not face up to your fears; simply to be afraid. But maybe we shouldn’t be so afraid, maybe we should turn yellow on its fearful head by….thinking of positive yellows…..how about Donovan’s song Mellow Yellow? “They call me mellow yellow…” Not bad, but what else you got? Bananas are yellow and they provide vital nutrients and vitamins to the human body. Okay. The Beatles’ song Yellow Submarine….some consider it a nonsense song but one could make the case for other, more positive interpretations. Yellow is evoked by light and we all know the stories of those who’ve had near death experiences. They say they were moved to go “toward the light.”
So maybe, just maybe, yellow light is good, positive, God-like even. If we are truly heaven bound and are moving toward the light at the moment of our demise, then that could be positive. And those who’ve had this experience always say that they don’t want to come back to earth, to darkness, but they are drawn toward the yellow light. According to surveys taken in Canada and the U.S. people most often associate yellow with cowardice but also with amusement, gentleness, humor, and spontaneity. Yellow discus tells me to go with that and when a fish speaks to me, I listen.

[…] That being said, they are hardy enough that it can be planted in cold water tanks as well. It is not, however, suitable for use in very cold water and should not be placed in outdoor ponds. […]
what is the smallest size tank you can use for breeding
My water has a high ph which is the best way to treat
My Discus pair have begun to spawn every week since Christmas. The eggs are fertile. As they hatch, the parents seem to fight over the babies; which then soon disappear. What should I do?
Can golden nugget plecos do well in a discus tank? In 84 degrees? Thank you.
Im having issues off and on by loosing fish. I have 7.6 ph tap water. I keep a 40 gallon barrel with heater and air Stone. I treat the barrel to lower ph in between weekly water changes for 40 and 90 gallon tanks. Any suggestions are welcomed.
I have 2 pair of Breeding Discus. They are all in separate breeding Tank (20 Gallon). The female lay eggs almost every week. the male also ejaculates, but within a few weeks, the fertilization fails. Eggs are all white, and I am not successful. Are both male impotent? Sometimes they also eat their eggs. Can you help me ? Thx
I love discus but always die on me. Now I understand have to be a no current pushing the flow. Temperature, tetras instead of angels. Etc…
I received in the shipment of the purchase #10880 an extra package of a yellow powder that medicine is and how they are used. Excellent the fish shipped although 2 of the 4 Altums 2 of them were not the expected size 3” but very healthy and beautiful fish the super excellent and punctual packaging under the adverse weather conditions to send.
When you say a discus size is 4″ is that measured to the base of the tail or the end of the tail?
Thanks
Great article and very informative.
I myself use to use 3 large canister filters in my 150 gallon xh aquarium, but maintaining 3 sun sun 704b canister filters became alot of work for me and made it hard for me to enjoy my discus I purchased from DISCUS.COM. so I took the plunge into a sump for my discus tank. 40 breeder aquarium makes a great sump…and now I definitely enjoy sitting and relaxing watching my beautiful discus…maintaining my sump is very easy and takes minutes, instead of hours cleaning several canister filters….also adds volume and is a place to add all my equipment…thank you Michael for providing such a wonderful website with loads of information and beautiful discus..
Where do you get your starter batch
What is the best medicine for it?
I basically want to know what meds I should have on hand
I have a few questions rather than a comment.
Would opening the shipping bag and allowing the built-up CO2 (from the trip) to escape suddenly raise the pH and make the ammonia in the water from the trip dangerous (by a sudden conversion from ammonium to ammonia due to the pH rise)?
Would it be safer to prepare new water at the pH they are accustomed to and then open the bag and quickly transfer them to the fresh water without ammonia present?
Also, what pH are your discus accustomed to so I may match my water to yours? Thank you, Mark, California.
Excellent readibg
