The Red Turquoise Discus sometimes referred to as Striped Turquoise Discus has huge, flashy stripes flashing through the water like a bright flame. They shines like a gem in any aquarium, with bold scarlet striations balanced by pale, iridescent greenish-blues and can be fed with live or frozen foods like bloodworms or brine shrimp and can reach up to 10 inches.
Maintaining the recommended water pH should be between 6.0 and 6.5, the water temperature should be between 82ºF and 86ºF, and the water hardness should be soft and medium to keep these fish more active, with better metabolism, faster growth, and brighter colors.

I ordered 4 of these fish and they arrived healthy, but very stressed – understandably. They were acclimated and semi-comfortable after 2 weeks or so, and have been eating and growing like piglets ever since. 11/10 would buy again.
