Blue Turquoise Discus 9cm

The Blue Turquoise Discus (Symphysodon spp.) is one of the most iconic and beloved discus colour forms, displaying a rich turquoise-blue body with bold, wavy vertical striping in deeper blue and teal tones that ripple across the disc like brushstrokes. At 9cm, these are well-established specimens with their striking colouration and patterning fully developed — a classic and timeless choice for any serious discus aquarium or high-end planted display.
