About
The Leopard Skin Discus is a striking patterned strain displaying irregular dark spots and blotches over a golden or reddish base, reminiscent of wild big cat markings. Highly sought-after at European discus shows, each individual has a unique spotting pattern making every fish one of a kind. Requires pristine warm water and dedicated care.
Care Guide
Keep in groups of at least 6 in a large, warm aquarium (200 L+). Maintain temperature at 28–31°C and pristine soft, acidic water. Feed high-quality discus beef heart mix, frozen bloodworm, and premium pellets multiple times daily. Perform frequent partial water changes. Sensitive to stress; keep with peaceful tankmates of similar temperature requirements.
