Golden Leopard Discus, Light Base

Description

I love ice cream. One of my best memories from childhood is waiting for the ice cream truck. I always got the same thing, a vanilla ice cream cone with red sprinkles. When the man in the window handed me the colorful confection, I always felt a jolt of excitement. (I admit that the extra sugar probably also added to my excited state).

When I first saw the Golden Leopard Discus, Light Base, I suddenly felt a surge of warmth and happiness. I was confused and wondered why I felt this way, until I realized that this fish has a lovely giant round body that is the same coloring as the beloved golden ice cream cone with red sprinkles from my youth.

This discus looks like a party waiting to happen, with rosy stripes and splashes of yellow that are the color of ice cream and balloons at kids’ birthday parties. What is that song that the ice cream truck used to play? Oh, yeah, Turkey in the Straw. Cue the music.
