The Red Royal Discus (Symphysodon discus), also known as the Royal Discus or Red Royal Discus fish, is one of the most stunning and highly sought-after varieties of Discus fish. With its vibrant red base, intricate turquoise-blue striations, and regal body shape, the Red Royal Discus is often called the “King of the Aquarium.” Perfect for aquarists seeking an elegant centerpiece, this Discus cichlid thrives in well-maintained freshwater aquariums and rewards keepers with unmatched beauty and grace.

Native to the Amazon River Basin, Discus fish (Symphysodon spp.) are admired worldwide for their disc-shaped bodies, vivid colors, and calm, majestic swimming style. The Red Royal Discus stands out with its rich red body accented by bright blue and turquoise patterns across the head, dorsal, and anal fins. This selective breeding result has become a favorite among advanced aquarists and collectors, making it a must-have for any tropical show tank.

A full grown Red Royal Discus can reach 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) in length, with a perfectly rounded body and flowing fins. Their fiery red hues combined with turquoise striations make them one of the most eye-catching Red Discus fish varieties available. Males and females are similar in appearance, but mature specimens develop thicker bodies and more intense coloration when properly cared for.

The Red Royal Discus is a peaceful and social fish, best kept in groups of 5 or more. Unlike aggressive cichlids, Royal Discus fish thrive in calm community setups with other gentle species such as Neon tetras, Cardinal tetras, Corydoras catfish, and peaceful dwarf cichlids. They prefer a stable, clean environment with soft and slightly acidic water conditions that mimic their natural Amazonian habitat.

Sublimation tape that works.
Number of Items: 2
Very strong and sticky tape. Great to use for sublimation on tumblers. No residual left on tumblers. Holds amazing. Stretch is just enough to help you get things nice and tight.

Fits in a standard tape dispenser
Number of Items: 12
First of all, I like the width of this tape when I don't need the full width of standard 20mm. It's great for delicate projects and minimizing taping over two-sided sublimations like keychains. There's just enough adhesion and it comes off cleanly so it does the job. If you don't need the full width of 20mm, this is a great value. For those looking for a compatible dispenser, these rolls fit into a standard weighted Scotch tape base like the C-38. There will be room around the core because these rolls have a larger diameter, and room on either side because the rolls are thinner than standard Scotch tape, but once you pull the tape onto the blade, the roll remains taut and it's easy to remove pieces of your desired length with one hand.
