Blue Tiger Carnation Turquoise Discus

Perhaps my wife and I are working too hard to get ready for Christmas with our kids, who are flying in from Seattle, WA and Santa Catalina island—which is “23 miles across the sea” (Google that phrase and listen to a good old song from the 60s!) from Long Beach, CA. Are you going somewhere special for Christmas? Would this discus brighten up your festive holiday mood?

I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for fish. As a kid in Maryland, one of my favorite memories is walking around a local aquarium store to marvel at the colors and movement all around me. The tiny black fish with single neon stripes, the ones that looked like giant, underwater butterflies, and the eels that weaved faster than a Porche on the freeway.

This Blue Tiger Carnation Turquoise Discus is patterned like a dark coral maze across the clear blue waters of Aruba. An icy, diamond blue, its lines form caverns and corners, sweeping softly like dancing hairs along a tiger’s back in the deepest shades of sunset orange. It’s middle center sometimes resembles a floral shape, or dancing speckles pointing out to the water surrounding it. Let your eyes linger on its designs, and perhaps like a good MagicEye picture it’ll morph into something even more beautiful… if that’s even possible!
