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.

One constant that has run through my life has been a love of art. While I mostly like realistic works, there’s something to be said for artists who express themselves in bold paint strokes. My mother had a painting done by a family friend that was of a woman but her face was done in a style more reminiscent of Picasso in his surrealistic stage. There was still something evocative about the painting that showed inner turmoil.

I get the same feeling when I look at the German Red Turquoise Discus, with its red base. It feels like nature decided to paint it with a frenzy of red and white brushstrokes all along its body. There’s almost a tribalistic feel to it, especially with the patterns around its eyes and mouth. It would not surprise me one bit if those colors actually glowed in the dark, making for an ethereal scene in a tank. There’s passion in these streaks, showing what a unique fish it is. I’d love having one or more in my tank, showing off their vibrancy.

    Yes, everything is fine. That 45 gal was my original tank, the 50 gal in the corner has my first fish that became a breeding pair, got a couple tanks of fry. The system is 20, 20 gal tanks. We plan on buying 3 breeding pairs in a couple months once the system is dialed in :)

    Good morning. Thank you for the fast delivery. I received everything but a couple of fish doesn't look like what I ordered. I don't think I received  super eruption discus blue base and German red turquoise discus red base. From Michael: Hi Brittany, rest assured your order was correctly fulfilled. I'm looking at your photos right now and I have assigned the correct identification in each of your reviews to each fish you ordered.

    Hi Michael,

    Hello, thanks for following up! Three of them arrived looking healthy, one arrived floating on his side but now seems to be fine. They all have very nice colors and are looking great. As of now they are mostly hiding if there is any motion in the room but will explore the tank when everything is still. This morning I dropped a pretty small portion of freeze dried blackworms into the tank, I didn't see anyone eat any but I assume it is because they are still stressed. But all is well and thank you for checking in! Here are a few pics of my setup with the Discus.  They are all pretty shy and one hides behind the decor, that was the one that was floating on its side in the bag. Hope they will get settled soon. Those were the best pictures i could get of the fish as they were very hesitant to come out with me holding a phone near them. A little update both of the blueish fish ate some pellets and blackworms but neither of the rest and white ones have eaten yet.




    Thanks,


    Will

    I purchased two German Red Turquoise Discus, Red Base, and I absolutely love my new Discus. They made it here in perfect shape and the acclimation process was very simple if you follow Michael’s instructions. I cannot believe the beautiful colors, size and activity they bring to my South American planted Tetra tank (Large and in charge). My Discus began swimming around the entire aquarium as soon as they were released into the aquarium as if they owned it.



    Never known anyone like Michael who communicates with you when needed in a timely manner but he really does care about how the fish are doing and keeping you on track to raise them the right way.



    Michael has been great with giving me any advice I needed. I highly recommend you do not skip the Discus.com Learning Center no matter what your knowledge level may be. It is loaded with information you want find anywhere else on Discus, their water parameter, feeding, etc.



    I started with a 20 gallon aquarium more than 40 years ago and have owned at least one to three tanks ever since. I’ve been keeping aquariums from freshwater to reef tanks for over 40 years and still continue to learn from the best. I’ve had everything from breeding assortments of Mollies to extensive reef tanks. I did Discus when I was a Technical Sergeant in the US Air Force in the dorm at Osan AFB, South Korea more than 30 years ago and fell in love with them then. This is my first experience with them in the States and I can assure you Michael is one of the best teachers on the planet.

    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. :)

    Hi Michael - thank you for checking in, just got everyone added to their dedicated 90 gallon home. Thankful there were no fatalities. They are a little stressed out as is to be expected. 





    I am going to let them settle in with the lights off (as was recommended) for the next two days - not planning on feeding today but maybe I will give them some freeze dried blackworms for discus flakes tomorrow. 





    Will definitely send some nice tank photos after they color up!

    After a very rough start, the shipping got delayed due to bad weather and several of the original discus died in transit, the remaining discus were quarantined and recovered nicely.


     


    The German Red Turquoise and  Blue Tiger Snakeskin were an instant hit in my quarantine tank and they began eating the following morning. Once I was confident they were going to make it I placed them into my show tank. Their colors started coming back quickly and they took over as an awesome complement to my tank.


     


    Michael was very helpful in getting replacement discus to me very quickly and several days later the Blue Leopard Orange Base and Yellow Pigeon arrived without incident. They were much larger than the original two, but are otherwise amazing specimens. They took nearly 2 days for them to get acclimated and the Leopard now rules the tank. The Yellow Pigeon doesn’t seem to be as strong as the others, and even though it’s the largest in the tank it hides a lot. 




    German Red Turquoise - amazing specimen, great colors, total pig when it’s feeding time, eats everything I put in the tank. He wants to be the king, but will have to grow a little more.

    Fish arrived a bit ago. Acclimating them now. The size of the discus is awesome, Larger than I thought they would be! Altums are very active. I will definitely be leaving Positive feedback with you about my experience with discus.com And will definitely be Choosing discus.com for my future fish purchases. One last question about the angels. Have they been treated at the facility before shipping or would you suggest I treat during my quarantine and if so what would you recommend? I usually treat my new wild discus with prazi pro and metronidazole during their quarantine.



    Haven't lost any altums since those first 3 And they are already eating freeze-dried black worms and texture color granules. The disgusts have nibbled on the freeze-dried blackworms and they are slowly eating the color granules. I will definitely send a better picture of each individual fish tomorrow when I have time to sit down and not rush. I'm very glad I decided to order from discus.com. I work at Petco in the fish department Saturdays and Sunday till close and yesterday I showed a lot of people the pictures of the fish I ordered in from you and they love them and there is a few discus geeks as customers so hopefully they'll get on your site and place some orders sometime.

    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.

    Hello Michael, we love our new fish & they are doing well in the new tank. They only thing I would have to say is the red based seems to have some fin rot going on, but other than that we will definitely be ordering more in the future! I wanted to ask if you have any recommendations on treating fin rot? Attached are the fishy’s:) From Michael: Not fin rot. Normal wear and tear from transit ammonia burns. Some Paraguard will clear it up within a week. It's a non-issue.

    The six discuses that I received are doing well in my tank.  I'm very happy with the Super Eruption and German Red Turquoise discuses, beautiful, healthy fish.  The Golden Lollipop discuses that I ordered are not what I ordered.  Based on what you have in your list of discuses for sale, you sent me Golden Valentine discuses instead of Golden Lollipop.  I would have preferred that you had notified me to inform me that you didn't have Golden Lollipop discuses in stock and given me the option to choose something else rather than sending me the Golden Valentines.  It's not like I can send these back for an exchange, but, you should at the very least refund me the difference in cost plus taxes for the Golden Valentines and Golden Lollipops.

    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. leasant 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.

The fish you picked out are beautiful.  The albino rafflesia is getting picked on. I am hoping once they all settle in it will get better. I am scattering their food so hopefully he will get some. The german red turquoise is still lagging a bit but I think he is better today. I will attach a pick of the dead cardinal tetras and a pic from yesterday. I turned the light on for a minute to get a pic.  I will send another one after lights are on tomorrow night.  All the fish were for my new aquarium.  I have spent weeks cycling.  They are the only ones in the tank. After all is settled I will order another fish or fishes. Lol, I am hooked.

    Good afternoon,


     


    All of the discus arrived alive and well. The marlboro red spent the first two hours laying in the sand on his side. I kept all of the lights off and let him do his thing for a bit. Since then, he is doing great swimming around the tank with the others.  


     


    All of the discus are gorgeous! I am excited for them to mature and fully color up. 


     


    Most of the ottocinclus did arrive dead. I think out of the 8 only three survived the first day. It is not the end of the world as the discus were by far and away the priority.


     


    I attached a quick picture of the tank with everyone settled in. As well as the progress pics of the Marlboro red laying on his side, then vertical on the bottom, then swimming with the squad. I was so excited watching him progress back to normalcy. 


     


    Let me know your thoughts.


     


    Thank you,

    Hi, all fish arrived good. The Germans are especially thriving and love to eat, the yellow one is catching on and seems to be acclimating. Unfortunately the golden pigeon did pass today. I’ve attached a photo, not the best but unsure of how to take it. That one was the most bright and colorful so we are sad it did not make it. We love the quality of all of the fish and their unique personality. I’ve also attached a photo of the 3 that are doing great.

    I wanted to wait till they colored up a bit. They look great! Thank you.



    I did have a question though. I know they are still young but neither really look like the photos I ordered from. German Red Turquoise and Silver Pigeon Leopard Discus. I understand the Silvers are still very young but I thought you would at least see something that hinted they are that breed. They more seem to resemble, Striated Red Throwback Discus & Yellow White Discus.



    Thanks!


    Brennen



    From Michael: Rest assured your fish were matched correctly. You ordered very small baby fish. If you want exactly what’s in the photos, the adults are the way to go. Also, lighting and substrate play a role in the fish's coloration. You need brighter lighting as well as less shadows (plants) in your tank.

    Hi Michael,


    First, Thanks so Much for sending all the discus in good health ! Some of them were down during the first few hours after releasing them in my aquarium. Then all started eating maybe after 4-5 hours. This is my first experience with Discus and I took some risk ( a lot in fact !) as I just set up the tank (everything new), adding some bacteria to settle them in the new filter and speed up the entire process. After checking all the water parameters (I used Seachem Discus buffer) I placed two Angels just to make sure all is okay. I kept many other different species in the past so I had some courage to take risks. However, the discus arrived two days earlier than I expected. That made me nervous.





    Regarding the color of Discus, my only concern is most of the fish that I ordered are not showing any color, I guess it's because they are still under stress. Although they are happily swimming and exploring the new habitat. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.


    Please see the pictures attached.



    Thank you again.


    Kind regards,


    Sirsendu



    From Michael: Hi Sirsendu, I was very backed up last week, and the reason I hastened the delivery is because I didn't want them to be stuck in transit near the end of the work week. Otherwise, they would be dead by the time the actual delivery occurred the next Monday.

    Good morning, yes they got here safely! All still alive. I really appreciate you picking me some beautiful first time Discus for me. No, I have no other Discus but I am gonna be ordering 2 or 3 more from you cause I have 2 more picked out already lol. But I have a 55 gallon tank so I think maybe 2 for sure. I do still have the light turned off still. I just put it on for a sec to take a picture for you. But I hope you know I'm so happy that I found you to order from. I have stage 4 endometriosis and I learned over the years dealing with it. Me watching fish helps my depression and anxiety cause of me having to stay at home due to my symptoms, so I can sit and watch my new Discus for hours! I hope I can be the best Discus mom that I can be! I have read almost everything you have on your page over and over. So...I hope to definitely keep these babies safe and well. I'm definitely looking forward to getting the last 2 I would love to get! I hope if you don't mind if I do run into something if I may contact you to help me though? But hopefully I don't..lol but thank you so very much again for making me a new Discus mom! Have a Merry Christmas :) From Michael: Of course you may contact me any time. Thank you for the kind words, and Merry Christmas to you!

    Discus arrived alive. I had to put them into the 300 gallon as the 29s heater wasn't working. The discus are cohabitation well 24 hrs in, the Red Heckel looks good and robust, measured at 5.75 inches. The German Red look very thin and feeble almost emaciated with his stomach sucked way in. I presume you didn't pick this guy out? I took some pictures so you can see. Neither discus has eaten anything yet. Not to beat a dead horse, but I don't understand the obvious discrepancy in the quality of the two fish? Both fish should be of equal quality when shipped from you facility and already thriving. I'm advising of my dissatisfaction in the quality of the German Red Discus upon shipment arrival. From Michael: Of course the fish will arrive looking thin, since we starve all our fish for 48 hours prior to shipping -- otherwise, they will defecate in their bags and die from ammonia.

    Two of the fish are ok. They were stressed, but they're ok now. I sent a pic of them. The other one was DOA. I also sent a picture of that one. I put him in the tank, but he just floated around.

    They all arrived in good shape. All three are good sized too. One has some travel issues, kinda on his side but he’s getting better. They are in the quarantine tank with a few black skirts. We kept the lights out until today. We fed them brine shrimp this morning and two charged right up to eat.



    Here’s the three new guys we just received from you in the quarantine tank, plus an angelfish. He thinks we are going to feed him every time we come by. All three are good size. Two of the three discuss ate today, one is still pretty shy. All look good. You’d never guess they spent yesterday bouncing around in a box. Thank you.

    Gm Michael, Much less distress with this shipment compared to last, dead arrival due to very late UPS arrival and broken cooler from apparent mishandling of the box by UPS. All fish arrived alive, the smaller German with red base was one of two surviving from prior shipment. Did not expect him to survive. He is doing well with TLC and treatments. All are feeding. Those four are in quarantine. The yellow pigeon is in one of the display tanks. The other two next to him I had.

    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.

    Hi Michael, the sickest died yesterday. The other one that seems to have similar issues does not seem to be deteriorating as fast and looked pretty similar as he did yesterday. I was able to coax him out of hiding to get a few pictures. Some fraying/loss of tips of pectoral fins, ventral fin, caudal fin and more of a dull coloration of his scales. I'm keeping a close eye on him. He's still hiding while the other five are out foraging (I have 6 in that tank)



    It is just a sharp contrast to the rest of the fish which looked in excellent condition. The blue knights in particular look amazing, very healthy, very colorful. I've got a few glimpses of the german turquoise but they are mostly in hiding still.

Cant wait to see what he will be look like in a few months! Beautiful fish!! Thanks y'all! I appreciate ya.

    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!

    Hi Michael, this was one of the best purchases online I ever experienced. From the selection of fishes, placing the order online to the delivery. It was all a very smooth and well thought out process. I was really impressed with customer service and information available on your website for Discus lovers like me. I learned a lot from the training course you offer to improve my knowledge of Discus. I will be ordering more Discus fishes in near future. --Syed

    Good morning! The discus just arrived! They are beautiful! They were very cold at 69 degrees. I hope they will be ok!  I thought the red was dead, but today, Friday, seems ok this morning. Also, a lot of the water leaked out during shipping, but they are so beautiful! My current discus is harassing/herding them. I have the lights turned off and feeding a bit more often, any suggestions? It’s a blue diamond about a half inch bigger than the new ones.





    Thank you!

    This discus is doing very well. It has become much more active over the past couple of weeks and is starting to color up pretty nicely. He was fairly small so I am sure he will continue to color up.

    All of the fish arrived safely and are now settled in and are loving life. They look great and we are very happy with them. Thank you. I sent them all in a few different emails because it wouldn't let me send them all in the same one. Hope you get them all. We look forward to doing more business with you in the near future.
