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.

Will definitely get more for my pig ear loving boy!
Flavor Name: Pig Ear, Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
My shar pei mix baby LOVES these! He is about 4 months old, teething and always has food on the brain. These do the trick! One ear lasts him about 2 days if he is really going at it, sometimes longer. He will work on it for hours at a time. They have little to no smell. He chews them on his white dog bed and they leave no stains or marks. I love that there aren't any extra ingredients so I know exactly what he is ingesting. I will DEFINITELY be buying more of these!

Is Milo allergic to pig ears?
Flavor Name: Pig Ear, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 1)
Milo sniffed the pig ear, paused, and then took it to his spot to eat it. A few minutes later he started rubbing his head on the floor. I also bought the cow ears and he ate them with no problem. I’ve snuck him the occasional piece of bacon so I don’t think he’s allergic to pork. I love and trust Nature Gnaws.

Great quality!
Flavor Name: Pig Ear, Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)
I do not review items very often, but after considering that I have ordered these no less than 30 times, I decided it was time. I have four dogs who absolutely love them, so I go through them pretty quickly. They are generally very large, with occasionally one smaller one in the bag. These are the best price/quantity pigs ears I have been able to find. Each bag has eight ears. My dogs range in size from a (very food-motivated) mini dachshund to a pit bull, so the treats are good for any size. I order them for my sister’s and my boyfriend’s dogs, and my boyfriend breaks them in half to give to his dog if you don’t want them to have the whole one all at once. Would highly recommend!
