Description

If you are interested in a beautiful splash of gold color in your freshwater aquarium, then the gold diamond discus is an excellent choice.  The tropical gold diamond discus is a cultivated discus that has been bred to eliminate the vertical stress bars found in naturally occurring discus. It has also been bred to produce its vibrant coloring. This stunning fish is a dazzling yellow-gold color. It is free of spots and striations on its body, but its head has a few white striations. The pectoral and dorsal fins of the gold diamond discus have white striations, and the tips of the fins are a darker color than the rest of the fish. The tail fin of the gold diamond discus is dark as well. 

The gold diamond discus has a pleasantly rounded shape. This is due to its body being almost as tall as it is wide. At its full size, the gold diamond discus will reach approximately 8” in length. Its body is flat, and it has very full pectoral and dorsal fins that extend the full length of its body, contributing to the roundness of the gold diamond discus. Collectors of discus expect vivid colors, and this golden beauty is sure to satisfy even the most discriminating collector. The gold color of the fish will stand out among the vegetation in any aquarium, and the gold diamond discus is also impressive due to its large size. This is one discus that is worthy of any tropical aquarium.

    Great purchasing experience. Overnight FedEx was perfect. Packing was very well done. Condition of fish was excellent. They started eating as soon as they were acclimated. What an appetite! These fish are healthy!

    Very healthy and beautiful juvenile!

    Posted by Sally Moorhead on 29th Mar 2015

    Recently, I purchased 6 juvenile discus from Mac's Discus and this was one of my choices. I have had all 6 for one week now and they are all very healthy and active. Steve is a very caring breeder and will be sure you get what you want. We had a few great conversations during the course of purchasing the discus. I felt that I knew what I was getting and he made me feel comfortable about the whole procedure of shipping and acclimating the new fish to their new home. I highly recommend Mac's Discus to anyone that is thinking of purchasing these exquisite fish!

    I ♡ MAC'S DISCUS!

    Posted by Rhonda Crosby on 19th Oct 2014

    A 2.5 " Gold Diamond was one of 7 Discus Fish I received from Mac's Discus for our Anniversary. The Gold Diamond was actually one of hubby's choices. I don't think I have ever seen this particular shade of Golden Yellow ever before! This fish is truly spectacular! All 7 Discus Fish that I received were very healthy, incredibly marked, intense color, perfect body shape, fins, eyes etc... There are no words to describe the beauty of the Gold Diamond I received from Mac's Discus! All I can say is that it's truly one of the most beautiful and deeply colored fish I have ever seen in my lifetime! My name is Rhonda Clark - Crosby, and I have been designing and maintaining large aquariums for 40 years but only been raising Discus fish for about 7 years. I will never buy my Discus Fish from anyone else but Steve at Mac's Discus ever again. The fish here are so healthy, beautiful & perfect in every way, Mac's Discus is so pleasant & easy to do business with, & the prices are the absolute best...especially for such high quality!

    color rivals salt water fish

    Posted by lou nielson on 30th Aug 2014

    I just purchased 2 of the 5 inch golden diamond discus from macs. I hope to have a pair. I hope they spawn. these are the most beautiful fresh water fish I have ever seen. the pictures do not do them justice. producing more of these beautiful fish will certainly be a pleasure. I also bought 2 of the 5 inch red checkerboards. and they are gorgeous as well. I wish I had started raising discus years ago.
