Description
The Blue Discus Fish by Amy E. Fraser. This is an expressive tropical fish portrait in shades of blue and green with red, yellow and blue eyes complimented with a bold taffy pink textural background.
Symphysodon aequifasciatus, the blue discus or brown discus, is a species of cichlid native to rivers of the eastern and central Amazon Basin downriver from the Púrus Arch. This discus is found in black-, clear- and whitewater, but its preference for lentic habitats such as floodplains and flooded forests means that the whitewater it inhabits contain little suspended material (unlike main sections of whitewater rivers). Unlike other members of the cichlid family, blue discus is generally a peaceful fish and shows highly social behavior. Blue discus fish are not predatory and will generally prefer to live in a group of around six other discus or other fish species. Even in the wild, these discus fish are slow and docile.
Amy E. Fraser’s Oil Pastel Animal Portrait series is an impassioned tribute to the beauty and magic of our beloved Animal Kingdom. Fun, gestural and energetic, these vibrant animals are painted in a stylized realism that is imbued with distinctive character and personality.
