{"product_id":"yellow-melon-discus","title":"Yellow Melon Discus","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe yellow melon discus (\u003cem\u003eSymphysodon\u003c\/em\u003e sp.) is a solid-colour line carrying an even pale yellow to soft gold over the whole body with little or no patterning, which is where the fruit comparison comes from. Colour is usually softer and creamier than the deeper gold lines, and it strengthens as the fish matures. Discus are laterally compressed cichlids from the warm, unhurried tributaries of the Amazon basin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAquarium care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTall tank with room to turn; height matters more than footprint length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm water at the upper end of the tropical range, held steady.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequent partial water changes; pale fish show poor condition plainly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep a group of five or more, or a settled pair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscus granules, frozen bloodworm and beefheart preparations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA darker substrate and background make the pale body stand out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good option for a keeper who wants something quiet and clean-looking rather than heavily patterned.
