{"product_id":"red-melondiscus","title":"Orange Melon Discus","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe orange melon discus is a solid-colour line of the South American discus (\u003cem\u003eSymphysodon\u003c\/em\u003e sp.), bred away from the striping of the turquoise fish towards an even orange-apricot wash over the whole body, deepest around the shoulders and fading paler towards the fins. Colour intensity varies with condition and diet, and a well-kept fish holds it far better than a stressed one. The shape is the usual discus disc, tall and laterally flattened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAquarium care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeeds a tall, deep tank rather than a long shallow one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWants warm, very stable water at the top of the tropical range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent water quality and a regular water change routine are not optional.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocial.
