The Golden Discus arrived healthy and active. Their yellow color is bright and stands out in the tank. I kept them in a group of five, and they swim calmly together. The fish seem happy and well-adjusted after a few weeks.

Beautiful fish with a lovely golden hue. They are peaceful and don’t chase each other. I noticed they prefer a stable water temperature and a well-planted tank. Slightly shy at first but settled in quickly.

The color is exactly as described—vibrant yellow-gold. I kept them in a 55-gallon tank with plenty of hiding spots. They form a nice school and are easy to observe. Very satisfied with the purchase.
