Red Ruby Discus Fish 2.75 inch
Description
The red ruby discus is a stunningly beautiful fish for your tropical aquarium. As is typical for cultivated discus, the red ruby discus is the result of careful crossbreeding among several varieties of cultivated discus to produce a fish with splendidly vibrant colors. As fry, the red ruby discus are shimmery gold with a hint of red. As they mature, their color deepens. The head and body of the red ruby discus are white to golden colored. Overlaying the base color is a beautiful reddish orange color that covers the majority of the body of the red ruby discus. The tail fin of the red ruby discus is the same color as its base color. The body of the red ruby discus has no stress bars, striations, or spots. The dorsal and pectoral fins of the red ruby discus have light colored striations that form lines, but the entire fin is typically not marked.
Discus fish are coveted by tropical fish collectors because they are large and beautiful. They also have a pleasantly round shape. When it reaches its full size, the red ruby discus will be 8” in length. Its round shape comes from it being almost as tall as it is long. In addition, it has very full, rounded dorsal and pectoral fins, which increases its appearance of roundness. This lovely, flame colored stunner will make a great focal point for your tropical aquarium. The amazing red-orange color will burst among the vegetation and other fish in your freshwater aquarium.

Juvenile Red Ruby discus
As with every fish I have received from Mac's Discus, this fish arrived healthy. It has beautiful coloration just as described for a juvenile. It has grown noticeably in 10 days. I can't wait for the adult coloration to emerge in time with continued growth.

Bag broke open
When I opened my shipping box all appeared ok but when I opened the Styrofoam box it was wet inside both heat packs were cool to the touch. 10 days later all fish appear to be OK

Best Quality Discus
I purchased 18 discus from Mac’s two weeks ago. They arrived on time healthy and more colorful than I could hope for. After acclimating and lights off for a couple hours they ate that evening. The Red Ruby’s I received are as red as the picture on his site. I’m very happy with my purchase and will be buying more fish from Mac’s.

I ♡ MAC'S DISCUS!
My Husband bought me 7 Discus Fish from Mac's Discus for our Anniversary, one was a 2 5" Red Ruby. There are no words that can express the beauty of this little fish! All 7 fish I ordered were so beautiful, & absolutely perfect! Steve told me exactly what day & time to expect them,& that's exactly when they arrived. Their packaging was perfect, all 7 were in great shape behaving more curious than fearful. They had fabulous muscle tone, perfect fins & eyes & the unbelievable color!!! These fish obviously came from a place that knows what they are doing & is truly committed to providing very healthy fish. I highly recommend following Mac's Discus acclimating process, as it is the best method for Sensitive Discus Fish, especially after a long trip. Having a bottle of Stress Coat handy when they arrived seemed to be appreciated by my new babies, that & a hearty meal of Blood Worms & some Beef Heart. They were ravenous! Lol... they ate as soon as they were in their new aquarium like they had been here all their lives. I can't take my eyes off of them! Steve at Mac's Discus made this so easy & such a wonderful experience, & provided me with such beautiful fish, i will never buy my Discus Fish from anyone else ever again! I can't wait to place my next order, already planning it!

Stunning colors
This fish is one of the most beautiful fish I have ever seen and the reds are so vibrant. And as he/she still has yellow in the face the fish reminds me of the bright and rich colors found in a creamsicle....so we named the fish popsicle! Active feeder and very peaceful in the tank while quickly establishing itself as high in the pecking order with it's tank mates without being overly aggressive.
