MARLBORO YELLOW DISCUS

Marlboro Yellow Discus is the selectively bred variant of the Marlboro Red Discus. The process is meant to create a new strain with the yellow coloration not only distributed in the face areas but the whole body as well. Thanks to it, Marlboro Yellow Discus have appeared and soon become one of the favorite species of the Discus-keeping community.

As a variant of Discus fish and a member of family Cichlidae, Marlboro Yellow Discus are famous for the distinctive disc-shaped appearance, and regarded as quite difficult to care for, yet once successfully, the fish become the pride and joy of those aquarists who possess them. The reason behind the advanced care level mainly lies in Discus’s size and high demands for living conditions. Although they are mostly captive-bred species, Marlboro Yellow Discus still incline to tropical environments. They prefer dwelling in calm water flows with abundant live plants around. Warm and clean water are still the key factors for the survival of Yellow Marlboro Discus. More importantly, their big size with a distinctive disc-shaped appearance, despite highlighting the aquarium, increases the difficulty of care level by impelling the aquarists to pay more attention when setup and maintenance of the fish tank.

Nevertheless, if you grasp some key points, keeping the Marlboro Yellow Discus is not as hard as you’ve imagined.

Big size, big tank: If your fish are large, then your tank should be large, too. The average size of Discus fish is about 6 inches (above 15 cm). And, they often live in groups of six specimens. Hence, you may need a 75-gallon tank in the least for this case. Also, be aware of the pecking order issue as it is often established among Discus fish.
Water conditions: Appropriate water temperature and clean water are two main issues when it comes to living conditions of Discus. Make sure your tank imitates the tropical areas characteristics (you could refer to our suggestion below), and the water change process is well performed regularly (30% per week). Given its large size, Discus eats a lot and disposes of the comparative waste. Thus, performing water changes diligently helps filter their waste out and return the clean conditions for them to thrive in captivity.
Semi-aggression disposition: Try to reduce their aggression level by providing sufficient ample spaces and live aquarium plants to hide them from each other. Discus will be happier and surely appreciate such additions.

What You Can Expect From This Fish:

Distinctive disc-shaped appearance with a variety of bright coloration
Focal point in the aquarium
Thriving in heavily planted tanks

RECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS:

Temperature: 85° - 86°F (29° - 30°C)
pH: 6.8 - 7.6
KH: 1 - 4 dKH
GH: Soft to medium
Minimum tank size: 75-gallon tank suits a group of six to seven specimens (provided water change performed weekly gallons)

CARE GUIDELINES:

Diet: Discus are omnivores and prefer both plant matter and live food. Although their favorite is bloodworms, they can accept other food sources such as tropical fish flakes, mosquito larvae, brine shrimp, and shrimp pellets.
Social behavior: Semi-aggressive towards the same species (especially during breeding seasons), yet relatively peaceful to the tank community.
Origin: Tank-bred [Ng check thêm điểm này nha.]

Full Gold Guppy Fish

Gold guppies

I really wanted gold guppies so when I found out they had some in stock I went to buy them, when I first looked on their website I was a little hesitant because of the coloration but in person the gold guppies are a lot more vibrant than the pictures show, you can also tell there is so much care for the fish at the store, plus my female gold guppy gave birth the day I got her.

Green neon tetra

They look great. Perfectly straight spine and good coloration. Good lateral line.
One was dead out of the bag. I’m not sure what happened, but it may have been smooshed in the corner of the bag.

Perfect additions to my tank!

Went into the Splashy store and left with more than I intended! It was incredibly stocked with THE most beautiful healthy dumbo guppies I’ve seen in the area. Got a few along with a bunch of neon green tetras that have all settled wonderfully into my tank! The shop associates were all so knowledgable and kind. Shout out to Allan who helped us out! He really knew his stuff! I’ve checked out quite a few local LFSes and this is the best by far. Already planning my next haul!
