About
Produced by one of the Netherlands' premier discus breeding operations, this Cobalt Blue variant is specifically refined for the Dutch market's high standards in colour density and body conformation. Dutch breeders are internationally recognized for producing some of the finest captive discus, and this strain reflects that heritage.

Care Guide
Keep at 28–31°C in soft, slightly acidic water with frequent partial water changes. Feed discus granules, beef heart mix, frozen bloodworms. House in groups of 5+ in 200L+ tanks. The cobalt blue intensity is best maintained with high protein diet and optimal water quality. RO or very soft tap water recommended.
