Freshwater Discus For Sale

Long regarded as the "King of the Aquarium," Discus (Symphysodon spp.) are among the most coveted freshwater fish in the hobby, disc-shaped, vividly colored, and remarkably interactive once settled into a mature tank. Our discus for sale selection spans both selectively bred strains and rare wild-type lines, including Pigeon Blood, Leopard, Marlboro Red, Blue Diamond, German Turquoise, San Merah, Stardust, Snakeskin, Red Melon, Albino, and authentic Heckel Discus from Ica, Vietnam, and Leopard bloodlines. Sizes range from grow-out juveniles to display-ready adults.

Native to the slow-moving tributaries of the Amazon, discus thrive in warm (82–86°F), soft, acidic water with pristine conditions. They are best kept in groups of six or more in tanks of 55 gallons or larger, ideally with peaceful tankmates such as cardinal tetras, rummynose tetras, and Corydoras. Frequent water changes and a high-protein diet bring out their richest coloration and full body shape.

Every discus is conditioned and hand-selected for body shape, color saturation, and finnage before shipping. With our 8-day live arrival guarantee and proven shipping methods, you can confidently add even premium-grade and wild-caught discus to your aquarium.
