Maintain these water conditions for optimal health and vibrant colors
Few names in the discus world over-promise less than Neon Blue: bright blue colour is the whole point of this strain, displayed on a fish that can reach a full 20 cm across its disc. Mid-water by habit, it turns an aquarium's central space into the focal point of the room.
Like its golden pigeon cousin, the Neon Blue's record calls for serious heat — 28–31 °C — alongside a pH of 6.0–7.0 and hardness anywhere from 0 to 15 dGH. The volume floor is 250 litres. None of this is beginner territory; the strain carries an Expert care rating, and the keeper's job is to make those numbers boringly repeatable. The payoff is a peaceful showpiece with up to ten years ahead of it.
One genuine convenience: the record lists the Neon Blue as an omnivore, so it takes a wide, varied diet without fuss. Choose companions that share both its temperament and its heat tolerance — other peaceful discus, cardinal tetras, rummy nose tetras, Corydoras catfish, Otocinclus and peaceful dwarf cichlids. Steer clear of aggressive cichlids, fin-nipping barbs, large predators, fast boisterous community species, coldwater fish and anything that needs hard or alkaline water.
Plan the community on paper before you fill the tank. List every species you intend to keep, then strike off anything that cannot hold 28 °C and above comfortably — you will be left with a shorter, better list, and the record's approved companions all belong on it. The FAQ under this listing walks through sizing, feeding, acclimatisation and the other questions buyers raise most.
Audit your existing stock against that 28–31 °C requirement before ordering — it rules out more tank mates than the temperament does. Where the heat works, the Neon Blue is among the most rewarding blues in the hobby. Couriered by licensed live-animal specialists with a live arrival guarantee.
