This giant blue red German monster is sure to add a powerful touch to even the most complete collection. Streaks of blood red run through an iridescent body, creating the classic “Red Turquoise” effect originally pioneered by Eduard Schmidt-Focke.

    I love my discus and my aquarium is truly biological art. They are growing like weeds and love the black worms. Last week my Super Blue Eruption and Red Tiger Snakeskin laid eggs. Converted them into caviar. I'll be ready next time. I'll be placing another order soon for some more beauties.



    Thank you very much.

    The photo speaks for itself. I ordered the 6.0-6.5 inch and received a monster that absolutely lights up the tank. Striking fish.

    All 3 discus arrived safe and sound! This was my first time ordering fish online so I was a bit nervous, but they're doing well. I have them in a quarantine setup and they're still a bit shy. Offered some food to them today but they didn't eat yet from what I saw. Will try some bloodworms tomorrow, I have other discus and that's what got them eating. Thank you very much. :)

    Hello! All 6 fish arrived alive and are stunning! However, and I am admittedly inexperienced with identifying this species, 4 of them look nearly identical to me. I ordered 6 different varieties but 4 of them look like the same type, German red turquoise, and then there's a yellow one that I don't recognize. Maybe it is supposed to be the golden pigeon leopard but it has virtually no red on it. And the super eruption is definitely correct. I will send you some pics I have but I didn't get any of the yellow one so I'll have to send you his pic tomorrow after work. Let me know what you think, I didn't recognize any as red tiger, blue knight or golden pigeon. Thank you!

    Discus all arrived in good shape. The bags were all very hot(very warm), the Cardinals, and the Cory’s didn’t do so well with the heat. But, I’m not a complainer. The Discus are what I was concerned with. Here are some pictures. They went into my display tank, I had Angels in it, and moved them into a different tank. I’m hoping that they don’t need any meds in the tank. O’yea, all of them are eating.

    As I said yesterday, I could not be happier with my discus. I thought I sent photos earlier but maybe they didn't go through. These fish are growing and getting more beautiful every day. They eat Omega One Flakes and frozen brine shrimp but their favorite food is frozen bloodworms which they are willing to take from my hand. Thank you, Michael, for sending me the best of the best!

    Michael, they all sparked up in a few hours. I did make a mistake and let the water in the bags into the tank. Its new water settled for a week, then one week with about 8 small fish, 2 crayfish and a snail. I am running 2 filters (75 Gal rating for each) on each side of my 65 Gallon aquarium and they have the bio filters that spin in front as the water exists the filter. I have a bag to absorb hardness in one filter. The water yesterday (before the intro of new fish) tested perfect in all the 5 test areas. PH is 7.0. Water temp 76 degrees. From Michael: Your water temperature is way too cold. Check my FAQs page for correct params.

    These are not what I ordered. The first order, I ordered 2 blue, 2 turquoise and 2 green. The greens are actually brown/orange. 1 died that you did not replace. These fish are no where near the quality I first ordered. They were eating swimming around... no dark stress bars... just absolutely no color. From Michael: You're confusing all the different strains from your 1st order and incorrectly identifying the fish. Your fish were starved for 48 hours prior to being shipped to you. They are stressed and hungry, and it's normal for them to not exhibit color for the first few weeks. Also, you ordered baby fish, which by nature will be much more drab compared to full grown adults. Please email me privately.

    Hello Michael, the fish were picked up at the airport at 4:00 am on the night they arrived in Chattanooga, they were acclimated and placed in my 55 gallon tank that already housed 8 small angelfish and two small pepper corydoras. They all appeared lively and slowly making their way around the tank. I had all the lights off in the tank and in the room. temperature was 78 degrees in the tank at that time, I increased the heaters and by the next day and the temp is now 83 degrees Fahrenheit. i did not feed them the first day. I fed them today with Tetracolor Tropical Granules and they began to pick at it, then they ate it. one of the four Discus is not swimming around with the others and is staying off to itself behind some of the plastic plants near the bottom. It is slightly darker than it should be, it is a Schmidt-Focke Red Turquoise Blue Based. It has small whitish spots and areas beginning to appear more obvious than yesterday. It has a normal breathing pattern and is using both fins, and I haven't seen it eat yet. can you tell me if you know what might help this fish? PH is between 6.9 and 7.0 and GH is 60ppm and KH is40ppm. Nitrite is 0.5, and Nitrate is 30. I have not yet tested ammonia. filtration is three Fluval 50 filters and one air stone. Also Michael, although you picked nice fish for me, I would have preferred that the Red Turquoise Markings were more in a horizontal pattern, they look very much like a Tiger Turquoise with such vertical patterns on the bodies. If I could swap them out for horizontal pattern, I would. Pleasant and easy transaction with Michael at Discus.com everything went smoothly and the Discus were waiting at the local airport when I got there. smooth process from acclimation to transfer. Great looking, Healthy and robust Discus, Larger than I was expecting. I will be adding additional Discus soon! Thanks again, Nelson V.

    Fish arrived tonight. First off, WOW are they beautiful Michael!!! Went right into their quarantine tank. Four are doing great and are swimming and look happy. Two are quite distressed. One is upright laying slightly to side on bottom of tank. The other is totally on his side. Both are breathing so I'm hoping for best. They are beautiful and if hate to lose them.



    I'll let you know in am if they make it thru night. All lights are off and will remain off for the 48 hrs. Since it's late I'll phone you tomorrow.


    Michael, Update: All 6 discus are doing great. The two distressed have rebounded and ate. The Penang Blue Knight is stunning. I may get another soon (would be terrific if I ended up with a breeding pair) ha ha ha. Pics will be sent when I get home from work tonight. --Andrea

I was calling because I’d really like to make an order, but the issue is the ‘High Bodied Crimson Star Alenquer, 4.0-4.5’. I’d like to get everything delivered by the 17th of January. It’s a little bit pricer than my previous fish. Do you have an especially good looking one, that you could earmark for me? I’ll place the order immediately after I hear from you.

    Hi Michael,



    The fish arrived ok. For the first 3 days they were not coming put even to eat in the dark. Last night both of them started picking up small specks of frozen brine shrimp. I am happy with both fish. The only thing is I expected the colors to be much brighter, such as more distinct blue and yellow.



    Thank you. Nadine

    Both Discus arrive fine and looks great thank you and acclimating well. I was home to receive them. I guess I didn’t have the lights off long enough. I turned the lights on this morning (about 24 hrs after receiving). I will shut them off for another day because the larger discus, the Classic Red Eagle Discus, still won’t eat yet. I have tried Brine shrimp and flake food. Do you know what he was used to eating?

    From Michael: Everything I feed is available for sale in my food section. Feel free to poke around for ideas. Make sure you bump the temperature up to the high side: 87-88F for a few days for new fish.

    Hi Michael. The fish you send was not match with the order that I was paid for.  This are the 2 that I order Penang Eruption Discus, and Golden Pigeon Leopard Discus, White Base were not in the fish you send. From Michael: Please take better photos of the Golden Leopard. Your eruption is a great match. What's incorrect about it? There will inevitably always be some degree of variation, since no two fish are ever alike. All selections are final.

    Hello Michael they are doing great, I have several couples with fry now.  All are growing well and they even let me touch them when I am cleaning the tanks. 


     


    Regarding your question I would have liked more communication regarding why the shipment was going to take about a month to be received would have been great, just a weekly update would have been great so I wouldn’t feel the need to keep asking you.


     


     I am not criticizing I am just answering your question. 


     


    I will be ordering more discus in the future I want yellow and orange discus but I am not ready yet. 


     


    The ones you sent me are beautiful!


     


     I hope you are doing great and stay safe and healthy.

    I did get them in the tank ASAP because of how late they arrived. The eruption and one German Blue are swimming around fine. The two German Reds are hiding but seem okay. The one German Blue is floating at the top and tries to swim every now and then but not much. All five are alive and seem to be doing well. Thank you for your patience with me and the information you shared! I will send pictures once I turn the lights on. They are beautiful!

    Hi Michael, The discus are starting to venture out and explore their new surroundings. Their colors have began to come out nicely. The German Red Turquoise Discus, Blue Base are nice large healthy fish. Thank you for picking out such nice fish! I also like the Altum Flora Discus, Blue Base, they are each unique in their pattern and together they all make a nice “blues wave” of color in the planted tank! I will be ordering more in the future. I am attaching a few images! Thanks again for great service and beautiful fish! Mark

    Hey Michael! I think it has been super easy and so far your fish have arrived looking as they do in the photos, which I know is a hard thing to capture depending on their size and maturity but so far I am very very happy.

    My German Red Turquoise blue base discus is bigger than what I paid for and has very striking blue coloration on him he is eating great and settled right in.



    Michael went above and beyond making sure I was happy with my purchase. He answered questions promptly and gave me bigger Discus than what I paid for. The 11 discus that I have are beautiful and eating great.

    All fishies received! They seem “tired” maybe sedated but all are upright and calm and being acclimated. One question... I notice they all look kinda the same and I know 3 I ordered DO look kinda the same so no question there. Will the turquoise one I ordered start to show more turquoise as it ages and will anything help me indicate which one he is out of the group since right now they all kinda have similar colors? Obviously the very turquoise one in the photo below is likely much more mature, where I see in the lower picture, maybe younger ones so the color maybe is just not quite as there yet? Very happy with everything so far! Took video opening them. Will take more throughout acclimation and release!

    Dear Mr. Li: After receiving a shipping, I noticed the Red Fuji Discus has a lot of black spots on gills and fins. I though that was from the natural born, but after 2 days, others fish stated having black spots on gills, fins, and body. On the day three, all the fish got it. I started raised the temperature to 88 and used API-General Cure for treatment. Try to hold off my second shipment for one week or two. Anything I can do to help my fish. I am new to discus. Thank you, An From Michael: The small black spots are what is called peppering in discus. It is normal for any pigeon strain, and does not indicate the fish are sick.

    My order was sent by FedEx all around the country before finally making it to me. Transit time was 50 hours. Thank heavens for Michael. He was supportive, and shipped very healthy fish. On delivery the boxes and bags were cold to the touch. I put all the poor flat stiff fish in a warm QT tank. This fish was a survivor- I lost a couple but most survived. Photo taken 2 days later, I know his color will continue to improve as he recovers. I can’t stress enough how supportive Michael was, even though it was the holiday season…

    Review for first order: I am a nursing home nurse, and work is very stressful. My husband gifted me a 120g tank, and 3 months later I started hunting discus. I am so glad I ordered from this website! I placed my second order within a week, because the first 6 were so pretty. I can't seem to take a good photo because I need to change my background- but trust me the fish are great!
