The Red Royal Discus (Symphysodon discus), also known as the Royal Discus or Red Royal Discus fish, is one of the most stunning and highly sought-after varieties of Discus fish. With its vibrant red base, intricate turquoise-blue striations, and regal body shape, the Red Royal Discus is often called the “King of the Aquarium.” Perfect for aquarists seeking an elegant centerpiece, this Discus cichlid thrives in well-maintained freshwater aquariums and rewards keepers with unmatched beauty and grace.

Native to the Amazon River Basin, Discus fish (Symphysodon spp.) are admired worldwide for their disc-shaped bodies, vivid colors, and calm, majestic swimming style. The Red Royal Discus stands out with its rich red body accented by bright blue and turquoise patterns across the head, dorsal, and anal fins. This selective breeding result has become a favorite among advanced aquarists and collectors, making it a must-have for any tropical show tank.

A full grown Red Royal Discus can reach 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) in length, with a perfectly rounded body and flowing fins. Their fiery red hues combined with turquoise striations make them one of the most eye-catching Red Discus fish varieties available. Males and females are similar in appearance, but mature specimens develop thicker bodies and more intense coloration when properly cared for.

The Red Royal Discus is a peaceful and social fish, best kept in groups of 5 or more. Unlike aggressive cichlids, Royal Discus fish thrive in calm community setups with other gentle species such as Neon tetras, Cardinal tetras, Corydoras catfish, and peaceful dwarf cichlids. They prefer a stable, clean environment with soft and slightly acidic water conditions that mimic their natural Amazonian habitat.

For the price it was a winner
Size: 23" x 23", Color: Beige
One of my pups likes to attack his beds. This is a fine replacement at a decent price. I will say I was thrown for a loop buy the way it comes in the package. Once properly assembled the dogs took to it no problem.
