Blue Turquoise Discus (Symphysodon Discus) 3"
The Blue Turquoise Discus is a classic and highly sought-after discus variety known for its brilliant blue and turquoise coloration, often accented with red or darker patterning across the body and fins. Its round shape, graceful swimming style, and intense colour make it a standout centerpiece fish for a well-maintained freshwater aquarium.
Blue Turquoise Discus are peaceful, social cichlids that thrive in warm, stable water conditions. They do best in groups and should be kept with calm tank mates that can tolerate higher temperatures. A spacious aquarium with excellent filtration, regular water changes, and open swimming space is ideal.
