Red Dragon Discus Fish 2.5 inch
Description
As its name implies, the Red Dragon discus is a bold red color with an unusual pattern of striations, making it one of the most beautiful of the cultivated discus available for aquariums. The cross breeding of various varieties of cultivated discus have resulted in a vibrant red color as well as its combination of striations. The Red Dragon discus has a red-orange face, and the tail end of its pectoral and dorsal fins often show this color as well. Its body is covered with intricately woven and connected red striations over white. It has red spots rather than striations close to its head above its pectoral fin. Both its pectoral fin and its dorsal fin are covered with spots and striations.
The Red Dragon discus will grow to about 8” long. Discus are known for their round shapes, and the red bold universe discus is not an exception. It is almost as tall as it is long, and its full fins also add roundness to its shape. This boldly colored fish will add a burst of color to your aquarium with its vibrant red markings. Its bright colors will contrast with its peaceful, passive nature, and the bold red universe discus will also contrast beautifully with the green vegetation of the tank. Discus are popular because of their vivid colors, round shapes, and interesting personalities, and this is one dazzling fish that will be sure to stand out among the other tropical fish in your aquarium.

I bought this beauty at 2 and 1/2 inches
I had looked at Macs Discus several times in years PAST ( I am not sure but think he used to advertise in years past in the aquarium magazines i have purchased in last 30 yrs of fish keeping)...BUT I WAS SKEPTICAL ABOUT ORDERING MY FISH ON LINE AND FEARFUL ABOUT THE QUALITY i'D RECEIVE. i am so EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THE GORGEOUS FISH that arrived feb 12th...All ALIVE. i HEEDED THE PRECAUTIONS AND STEVES SPECIFIC SUGGESTIONS ON HIS FISH BLOG. i POURED OVER ALL THE INFORMATION. I own numerous books on discus health and some i must say they gave me conflicting info (follow Steves advice)....such as discus being schooling fish....I now know they are...WOW they do wonderfully in schools. another issue where i have made mistakes is I have been more concerned with water quality in times past than feeding my fish enough. They are babies...babies eat often! These eager, trusting, gregarious, little fish LOVE to eat and school and chase each other. I ordered Steves 6 pack 2 1/2 inches in contrasting colors... all shipping paid. they traveled through a horrible cold spell in the USA and arrived safely, very tired, but safe and warm. Within 2 days they were no longer weak but fighting for food. I received at Steves choice...a Gold diamond, a red melon, a white diamond, a red dragon, a red tiger and his signature High Fin Blue cobalt. They are as colorful and beautiful as a bouquet of flowers and they are juveniles! These are not thin arrowheads but already displaying beautiful body shape, some very round already. I hope you take the leap and purchase them for yourself...just have your tank completely prepared and ready for these little beauties.... they deserve it!!!

Another flawless transaction.
The Red Dragon fish is as bright and beautiful as you see in the picture. They were delivered when promised in great shape. Within 2 to 3 hours, they were already part of the "gang". (I don't have a quarantine tank, but I felt very confident since the fish I have gotten from Mac's have always been very healthy.)
