The Red Melon Discus is a stunning freshwater cichlid admired for its vibrant orange-red colouration and graceful, disc-shaped body. Selectively bred for its rich solid colouring and elegant finnage, this variety has become a favourite among serious aquarists and planted aquarium enthusiasts alike. Their calm swimming behaviour and striking appearance make them a true centrepiece fish in large tropical aquariums.

Discus are often regarded as one of the most rewarding fish to keep, but they do require stable water conditions and attentive care.

Wanting a standard nice wallet. Get this
Color: Black, Color: Black
Your standard wallet. Nothing to complain about. Does what it’s supposed to and I have no complaints. The fit is amazing. Holds at least 17 20 dollar bills and over. Durability is also amazing to say the least. Doesn’t rip at all, with a lot of money in it. Its thickness ties in with how much money you can fit in it, so I won’t go into that category. Overall what you see is what you get. A standard, nice, durable wallet that sticks into your pants.

Great value for the style and material
Color: Brown
Purchased as a replacement for my son's previous wallet. He found this same wallet on Timberland's website at a much higher price. He received it and has used it ever since it was delivered. He was very pleased and still is with how soft the wallet is. He likes the style a lot as well.

Perfect wallet
Color: Black (Sportz)
This is a quality wallet that you would think cost more.. nice and thin and that’s why I bought it. My son needed a new wallet and prefers it to be light weight and not bulky. This is perfect. Nice capacity and all you will need. 5 stars.
