FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/DefiniteAquascapeTV YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/DefiniteAquascapeTV PAGE: http://definiteaquascape.tv The common discus Symphysodon aequifasciatus is a tropical aquarium fish, originating from South America. There are three wild varieties of this fish, Brown, Blue and Green, and many domestic varieties, bred in aquariums of fishkeeping hobbyists and tropical fish breeders. The classfication of these domestic varieties is somewhat complicated, and only recently Polish discus fans proposed a modified classification, which (in my opinion) is the most accurate and most clear. So, I used this classification for presenting discus fish displayed at Aquatics Live 2012 show in London :) "Striped turquoise" is one of the color variety of domestic discus fish. Fish of this variety can have various appearance, but they have some general features in common - the bluish horizontal stripes are present not only on head and fins, but also on the sides of the body, and the iris of the eye should be red. In this video I show various examples of striped turquoise discus fish. Enjoy! :)

Magnificient fish! :) Looks like blue turquoise to me, but I'm not an expert at all :)

It's some sort of Tetra internal filter, not sure which one exactly.

mexiphatso - 11 years ago

What type of filter is in these tanks? Gratitude.

DefiniteAquascapeTV - 11 years ago

Thanks a lot for your kind words! :) I'm really glad that you like what I do - after all, I do it for the viewers (having some "selfish" fun along the way, of course ;) )

Yup, after watching all those discus I wouldn't mind to have a discus tank myself... :)

I hope I will have a large enough tank one day, that way I will have room for my fish and a small Discus colony. Nice vid!

Crystal clear footage of these amazing fish. At times I thought they seemed shimmery when they would turn & the black stripes would appear even darker. You do a wonderful job at capturing what makes aquariums shine. Then you share it with us. Thanks
