Classic San Merah Discus
$113.00 – $167.00
Emerging from the depths of the Amazon river comes the Classic San Merah Discus. This fiery Amazonian queen is sure to demand the attention of onlookers with its exotic patterns and vibrant bright hues of orange and red.
If you dare to host this sought after fresh water beauty, you will not be disappointed. The Classic San Merah is often marked with war-paint like vertical stripes across its round body and a more defined stripe down the face where the brilliant red-orange bleeds into a fluorescent pinkish-purple. It’s big delicate eyes and human-like puckered lips are something to be admired along with its patterned fins, accented with the same fluorescent colors and topped off with red-orange flames.

The Cardinals are good, I only lost one more since this morning.
The discus are all hiding and clamped (not too unusual with a new environment). The one blue is really beat up from what I've observed. I have a planted tank so they're a little hard to see. They are both dark, and staying in the shadows against a log.
A couple of heckles have some bruises, but seem ok. The surviving red looks pretty good so far.
UPS did not treat them very well... Tomorrow will probably tell more.
Here’s the new guys in their temporary home. Still a little shy.

Good morning!
I am very happy with the 2 discus fish that were picked for me and they both are doing great! They are the exact ones that I ordered! I was not able to find them anywhere in local fish stores (looked for months!) I am so thankful that I found your website!
Beautiful discus, arrived in good shape.
They’re all good and look great, Beautiful. They’re bigger than i thought, huge. Thank you so much!
Hi, Good Morning. The fish are looking so good In my tank and I like to order some more discus, can you provide a coupon for my next order? Thanks
My favorite in the lot is the turquoise.
This was supposed 5-5.5 inches. From Michael: Tony, please keep in mind these fish are all handpicked and bagged. Please leave a reasonable degree for error. Rest assured I did not try to cheat you. We are basically talking about a .5-1" difference, and I will credit you.
Hey Mike, hope all is well! Just wanted to share some pics of the new tank...the San Merah is my favorite!
Best regards,
Matt

Hi Michael,
Loving my discus. Did you get my review? I ask because I left my phone uploading photos but I’m not sure if it submitted or not.
I am attaching photos from this evening. I am having a hard time with ID on some and was hoping you could check my guesses to see if I’ve got it right.
They look good so far. I have them in the dark but they seem to be swimming around. None laying on side or anything like that.
Hey Mike, I'm looking to add a 5.0-5.5 Albino Snakeskin and a 5.0-5.5 High Bodied Crimson Star Alenquer. Probably a few weeks for you to obtain? Please advise. Thanks!
Here's some recent pics...
The San Merah is my favorite!
One of the Blue's is laying eggs like crazy, every 5-7 days for her 7th time now. Still eating them...
Thank you!
Matt
All of them swim happily. Thank you, you have awesome quality of fish.
Hi Mike, the fish look great! Not really stressed at all and getting along so far. All are eating as well. Thank you! From Michael: You have a killer setup that really brings out the colors of these massive adults I shipped you. Enjoy your latest batch, my friend.
Hi Michael, here are pictures of my new fish. The discus fish are starting to eat a little bit now, except for the Wild Brazilian discus. He seems to be lethargic and uninterested in eating. My other discus fish do not seem to like the frozen beef heart I bought from you. I am surprised because they love the frozen San Francisco Bay Brand I have been feeding them. Any suggestions? I am keeping the Cardinals in a separate tank until they grow bigger. Thanks, Tom H.
The San Merah I looked at were solid red with a blue face. From Michael:You’re comparing a small juvenile fish with the adult fish pictured on my website. It hasn’t grown into its full colors yet.
The San Merah is lying on the bottom not moving much and the blue is dark with crimped fins. The San Merah came out of the bag looking just like the pictures.
The fish you picked for me are beautiful. You did me solid. I'll get pics and reviews out. Here's a quick shot before the lights went out. I'll get you a couple more with them spread out. It's funny watching them they're playing in the current. I got some MP40s turned way down and they like it.
Here are some pics of my Discus in my 350 that I took after we spoke. I have a very diverse group of Discus, but, they seam to be healthy and happy together and reward me on a regular basis with entertainment, beauty and fry if I choose to separate the breeding pair to allow it. So, this is the family, most of which are not at all camera shy. Only a couple are hiding out today. You will recognize your two newcomers showing off for the camera, as well. This is my addiction, more so than a hobby, or even a way of life. I spend countless hours just watching. I sleep very little due to my illness, but these guys help me, not only pass my time, but enjoy it, no matter what the time of day. I even enjoy the maintenance and projects involving tank and fish. Right now, I am plumbing my 290 gallon RO holding tank through the attic and down to the tank to make water changes easier. I have a bathroom on the other side of the wall adjacent to the back of the tank, so I am connecting a drain line from the tank to a large drain line of the house. Its working out perfect and should save me a lot of time and more importantly a lot of energy. I was I contractor before I stopped working, so I am able to put some of my skills from building and remodeling homes to work at my own house. I just take it slow and easy and listen to my body. When it says to stop, I stop and rest. I should have this project wrapped up in the next day or two. This is what happens when I start talking about my Discus: I ramble and don't stop. Sorry about that.
Thank you, the fish arrived pretty healthy.
