Description

The blue diamond discus is one of the most highly sought after discus fish for tropical aquarium due to its beautiful color and luster.  The beautiful blue diamond discus is a cultivated discus that results from a recessive trait of the blue variety of turquoise discus. Whereas blue turquoise discus normally have striations throughout their bodies, those showing the recessive trait have transparent bodies without any markings. These turquoise discus with the recessive trait have been specially bred together to produce the blue diamond discus. 

The blue diamond discus has a solid blue hue over a pale body without any markings, and it has a noticeably shiny luster, hence the name “diamond.” Some blue diamond discus will have yellow coloring on their tail fins. The blue diamond discus also has unusual red eyes. Like all discus, it has a noticeably round shape, and its body is flat. The blue diamond’s fins are slightly thinner than most varieties of discus fish, but it still has the rounded shape that discus are known for. A mature blue diamond discus will be about 8” long, and it is almost as tall as it is long. 

Although in turquoise discus the lack of markings is recessive, when two blue diamond discus are bred, all of the fry will be blue diamonds. Cultivated discus are much easier to breed than natural discus, and with the proper water conditions, you could soon see your mature blue diamonds pairing off and mating. A family of these blue beauties will be a treat to enjoy in any aquarium.

    I bought 2 discus from a site in Florida, huge mistake. Claimed 2 inch fish. Both were the size of a dime and one did not survive. I was so impressed with both Discus from Macs Discus. Absolutely beautiful and very healthy. I was so impressed. I would highly recommend this site

    Fish order

    Posted by Ray Fessenden Feasendedn on 16th Oct 2020

    I have ordered several times from Mac and every time the fish were better than expected. I have ordered from other on line locations only to receive a very inferior product that was usually hormoned and lost color and struggled to survive. Mac is always there for any help you may need in caring for your fish. I will continue to purchase all my Discus from Mac as i can rely on the Best quality fish.
