Red Turquoise Discus, Proven Breeding Pair

The Red Turquoise Discus glimmers like a gem in any aquarium, with bold scarlet striations balanced by pale, iridescent greenish-blues. Available in sizes of 5.0-5.5” and 5.5-6.0” long, its red-ringed eyes and ruddy tangerine tail accent its circular body like grace notes astride the harmony of its rich colors. With this Proven Breeding Pair shimmering in tandem through in your tank, you may find yourself entranced, or even transported; taking in the sight, one might recall Aguas de Amazonia, Philip Glass’s ethereal musical composition inspired by the Amazon river, from which Discus originates. Gliding and darting through the water as if accompanied by Glass’s vibrant flutes, this Discus Pair charms owners and visitors alike with their arresting looks and lively moves. A unique, adventurous addition for any breeder or collector. 

Flashing through the water like a bright flame on a cold night, the Red Turquoise Discus brings a look of vital warmth to any aquarium. Since prehistoric men used ruddy ochre to paint cave walls, the color red has pulsed with primal energy, used in ancient art as a sign of life, bold beauty, and brave action. Associated with Mars, mythological god of war and guardian of the Roman people, it’s said that red can stir up courage in those who wear it or adorn a space in its shades. Though the hue might become extreme alone or in excess, our Discus‘s scarlet rivulets are exquisitely balanced in their delicate pattern by a shimmering turquoise, color of prized gemstones and lucky talismans. Find yourself similarly fortunate when this Proven Breeding Pair strut their way into your home and paint the tank… well, you know. (As the old saying goes: Two reds are better than one.)
