What could be considered the topaz of the aquarium world, the Penang Blue Knight features a blend of azure and light-sapphire tones. The characteristic lateral and oval shape serve as a palette for horizontal burgundy and dark brown stress bars reminiscent of Impressionist-era brush strokes. The patterns intersect at the forehead, where they run across a narrow face to form an intricate zebra pattern in between splashes of blue and their signature red eyes.

The blue hues and patterned stress bars cover the body and remain consistent on the dorsal, rear, and pelvic fins. The only shift in the overall design is the light blue, beige, and black spots that color the base of a near-transparent caudal fin.

    A couple more photos of the Blue Knight and the Reflection D, they are stunning in color. They have really took to the new tank and all really seem to enjoy each other. The Marlboro came from a local dealer in Nashville TN. A mistake I won't make again. The 3rd day After I got it I noticed it raking it's gills against a plant causing me to have to extend quarantine up to 6 weeks treating him for Gill Flukes. It and the two Hackles are fine now but I worried I'd loose them all. After seeing the health of your fish and your service you'll be the only source i'll use from this day forward.


    Thanks again,

    Hi Michael, 





    My wife is still crushed about the Royal Heckel. He was a beauty. The Penang has been a bully since hitting the water. The Eruption just got off it's side. The Ica must still be stressed out because of his color. Here's a bunch of pictures.

    Hello, I just wanted to say the replacement discus just got here a couple of hours ago, and everything is fine. He looks absolutely spectacular, darker than the other Blue Knight, but exactly how I hoped it to be, making an amazing contrast with the albinos and the red ones. I wanted to say thank you again, I know one of them unfortunately perished, I had to spend another shipping fee, but the end result is happiness. Since I was about 11 or 12 when I saw a discus for the 1st time I fell in love. I built my own tank w/ some help from my friends dow the street, with glass panels from the window store cut to size. But more experienced adults told me I wouldn't be able to care for them and and that I should go w/ angelfish instead, which I did. But now 40 years later and back to the hobby finally I have this wish come true. Thank you for being the one who helped me accomplish this.

    Half of the fish that I ordered look absolutely nothing like what I bought. I don't think they're even the same breed. The "Penang Blue Knight" seems to be a Blue Tiger Turquoise. The "Red Tiger Carnation Turquoise Discus, White Base" is not even remotely white. The "Royal Heckel Cross" is either insanely pissed off and on the verge of death, or he's just warming up and needs some time to color up.  What can I do to get at least the "white" fish refunded? I am absolutely shocked at how blue he is. From Michael: This customer ordered 2.5" - 3.0" baby fish. The colors are actually looking great considering the fish just landed.

    I received my package, however, I think maybe they could have been wrong about the selection I made! With the exception of the two golden ones, the others look identical. From Michael: You ordered small discus which will take time to grow into the adult forms pictured on my website. However, even in this size, it's extremely clear to me the patterns are different. For example, the leopard snakeskin is clearly showing a spotted/snake pattern, while the Penang Blue Knight you ordered has a clear striated pattern. Don't just look at the colors. The patterns matter a lot, too.

    I ended up putting in sand and HOB filter because it's much easier to see and clean up the uneaten food and the reflection off the bottom seemed to be adding to their stress. I've done partial WC everyday sometimes 2 times a day to make sure I get all food.



    PH - 6.8


    Ammonia - 0


    Nitrites 0


    Nitrates 20 ppm (that's how it comes out of tap)


    Temp -88


    Added a little bit of salt and stress guard



    I'm very pleased overall. I just wish they would eat and I'm worried about the Tefe and the nose of the Rafflesia. I'm going to go try and find some Paraguard. I'll keep you posted.

    All of the discus are up and moving this morning. The albino is still not 100% but better. I offered some food this morning. Some ate frozen blood worms. Some didn’t eat. I expected that. They are settling in. I’ll offer up some live brine shrimp later today to see if I can jump start their appetites.



    The Sterbi’s are all doing good. I owe you for 1. You sent 9. Two of the gold nuggets are doing well. One is not moving much. We’re they tank raised or wild?



    All in all I’m very pleased. I’ll get some pictures to you this morning.



    FYI I’ve bred discus back in the 70’s and 80’s. Small time but I had 1500 gallons and probably 10 or 12 pairs at any given time. I loved my Heckles and Tefe’s the best. At that time there were some new crosses coming out. Solid colored, blues and greens mostly. The reds came later and were nothing like the reds of today. I’m partial to the wild discus always have been, but I really like all of the crosses you offered. I which I had more tank space.



    I had switched to salt water and raised corals for 30 years. 18 plus tanks and 1000 gallons. I sent corals back to the oceans through the Chicago marine club of which I was the president of. That was a tough gig. All this time I’ve missed the discus. I have no intention of breeding anymore. Just taking care of them. Watching them has brought back memories of the fish and friends I’ve met through the years.



    There is a lot of sellers out there who are taking advantage of the people looking to get into keeping discus. You are definitely one of the good guys. You are a rare guy, Mike. Keep up the good work. Thanks Mike.

    I recieved 10 discus altogether. They came on time, exactly when I requested, and packaged very well.



    This is a beautiful blue fish. If you are looking for something with brilliant blues, this is the fish. It's gorgeous even at its small size. This Penang Blue Knight will be spectacular when it is an adult! It arrived healthy and barely needed coloring up from shipping. You won't regret doing business with Michael, every fish I've gotten has been exactly what was advertised.



    These are accurately sized fish to what I ordered. Quality discus is here at this site and great customer service as well. Don't ever doubt it. Being patient on your order will pay off, but don't be afraid to reach out to Michael on any concerns. His response is quick during business hours.



    Pictures depict one fish. I want to include good pictures for the review as most reviews show a bunch and it's a guessing game which one you're wanting to actually see. I hope you find this helpful!

    Please check on order # tracking #.  It shipped last Wednesday and it appears FEDEX cannot locate the shipment.


     


    On a more positive note the seven remaining discus from order are settling in.  In fact, two have become good friends (to the dismay of the remaining five!).  See attached photo.  This surprised me as I was not expecting to see this for at least six months, if at all.  It also helps confirm the tank conditions are favorable for discus. Any thoughts on what a blue x red cross like this might produce? I keep the plants in trays.  This clutch turned white in a day, then were eaten.  I suspect they were unfertilized as I understand that is common with the first few clutches.

    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.

    The fish arrived at the airport on time. The packaging was Impeccable. No surprise the fish were in excellent health. The two discus a medium Albino Leopard Snakeskin 4.5" and a large Penang Blue Knight 5.75" both stunningly beautiful and eager to get out of their rather cramped quarters. 


     


    This like all the other fish I have ordered from Michael; a consummate professional and just a down right great guy. These strains were beautiful. I cant wait to add them to my 140 gallon display tank.
