About
The Blue Turquoise Discus is a classic and highly refined strain featuring dense turquoise-blue horizontal striping over a cooler blue body. Long favored by Benelux breeders for consistent pattern expression and robust health, this strain is a proven showpiece fish that rewards careful husbandry with spectacular coloration and impressive disc shape.
Care Guide
Maintain at 28–31°C in soft, slightly acidic water with frequent partial water changes. Feed high-protein foods: discus granules, beef heart mix, frozen bloodworms. Keep in groups of 5+ in 200L+ tanks. Very sensitive to deteriorating water quality — perform 20–30% changes 2–3 times weekly. RO or very soft water ideal.
