🍊 Mandarin Passion (4.5”) – Brilliant Orange Glow with Premium Body Shape

Elevate your freshwater display with the radiant beauty of the Mandarin Passion, a standout variety bred for its sun-kissed golden-orange hue, clean face, and perfectly rounded body. At 4.5 inches, these discus are nearing adult size and already flaunting their signature tangerine coloration with glowing intensity and smooth symmetry.

Known for their calm temperament, social behavior, and dazzling presence, Golden Melon Discus are ideal for peaceful show tanks, planted aquascapes, and discus-exclusive communities. Their consistent, vibrant coloration adds warmth and luxury to any setup—and they only get better with age.
