Yellow Sunset Discus

A breathtaking discus with brilliant golden-yellow colour and striking sunset contrast

The Yellow Sunset Discus is a spectacular variety admired for its vibrant golden-yellow body, soft white face, and contrasting dark-edged fins. As shown, the intense yellow colour creates a glowing "sunset" effect, making this one of the most eye-catching discus varieties available.

Its bright colouration stands out beautifully against planted aquariums and dark backgrounds, creating an impressive centrepiece display. Like all discus, the Yellow Sunset requires warm, stable, and pristine water conditions to maintain its exceptional colour and overall health. Peaceful and social by nature, they thrive when kept in groups and are best suited to dedicated discus aquariums.
