Turquoise Heckel Cross Discus
$67.00 – $190.00
You’ve felt it.
That “third eye.”
That moment where you sink down deep into your body and some dark space opens up and you can see for miles and miles.
Maybe you feel it on the dance floor of a club, orange and blue and white lights flickering through the humid darkness, turning the sweat on people’s faces and necks into glittering liquid stardust, your date’s turquoise silk shirt unbuttoned, and their tiger tattoo peering out to you, your heartbeat thrumming with the music pulsing in your sternum.
Maybe you feel it on an empty dirt road in rural Kansas in the middle of the night, the stars crowding into the black, the moon glowing yellow-white-blue above you. It’s so dark you can’t see your own hands in front of you, but you hear your own breath billowing in and out, entwining with the summer breeze that rattles the corn stalks, saying “hush, you’re here.”
And you feel it when you watch your Turquoise Heckel Cross Discus flicker in your aquarium.
Light witnessing a lightning storm – it’s the moment the light fades, there’s that dark place where color was that pulses and brings you back inside yourself.
Its turquoise, white and orange stripes ripple and crack like light, like electricity, like dance, like a galaxy churning – but what makes the color so vivid is that black diamond down its side, that dark eternal cat eye, that place that opens up in the middle of your body when you sense that there is something more here. You are here. You’ve felt it.
Now when you spend a moment gazing at your Turquoise Heckel Cross Discus you remember – the way his hands touched his black hair, his silk shirt shimmering, the way the wind touched your face when it was so dark you knew your feet were moving down the dirt road but you could not see them.
You feel it.

The discus (from both orders) are doing great. The ones you shipped fit the bill perfectly and look great. I very much like the fact that they retain that Heckel appearance.
I did lose one of them from the first order. But that was from an outbreak of parasites. The tank was treated and that issue is all cleared up.
Thank you for the nice specimens. I am maxed out on discus right now. But if I need more in the future, I will certainly return to you.
Cheers,
Hi, we did the white sand! And the one fish that I had before my order that was sick before is all healthy now and brightly colored up! My fiance re-scaped my discus tank for my birthday and it looks stunning! Thank you! Just wanted to share because I would like a couple more discus from you at some point. Then when we build our new house I'll need to get like 50 to 100 discus from you lol. We will be doing a massive discus show tank.
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!

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.
Thanks 4 the e-mail Michael! Fish are doing great!!! Thank 4 the sweet fish! I will be getting a few more fish in May.....the fish were packed great! But after they left you!.... they were not handled right.... they were beat up pretty badly! My order was to big and thats my bad :) If the carrier does not keep the box the right way the whole time the fish will get beat up and stress out and are in trouble! All fish survived and in the time since have only Lost 3 of them! Love your Web site i have to be on it everyday and see all the great selections You have! (I want all of them!!) Hahahaha thanks again 4 everything Michael!
They eat all that You can put in front of them! The golden pigeon leopards are getting better looking everyday and are always moving around the tank and active! My favorite guys are the german red turquoise (red base) ... they have a great shape to them and the fins are always up and out on display!! And the royal heckel cross! Cant wait to see what he will be look like in a few months! Beautiful fish!! Thanks y'all! I appreciate ya.
Wanted to let you know the fish is gorgeous and massive. Wow! Any 4-4.5 fish I have received was not as big. How is packed was also well done. Thank you Very much. --Chriselle
