{"product_id":"cobalt-blue-discus","title":"Cobalt Blue Discus","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe cobalt blue discus is a captive-bred strain of discus (Symphysodon sp.) selected for a solid, saturated blue across the body and fins. Discus are tall, disc-shaped Amazonian cichlids that move slowly and deliberately, and they are among the most rewarding freshwater fish to keep well — provided you go in understanding that they ask more of a keeper than almost anything else in the shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAquarium care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdults are large and tall, so a deep tank matters as much as a long one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeeds consistently warm water, warmer than a standard community tank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrefers soft, slightly acidic water and requires very low nitrate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequent, generous water changes are part of normal discus keeping, not an optional extra.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep a group of five or six; single or paired discus in a community often become withdrawn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow, deliberate feeders that need time at the food.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest in a species tank or with calm, warmth-tolerant companions such as cardinal tetras, rummynose tetras and corydoras. Avoid fast feeders, fin-nippers and anything that needs cooler water. Talk to our staff about tank setup before buying — discus reward preparation and punish improvisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStock rotates with each shipment, and livestock is available for local pickup at our Lethbridge store.
