The Snow Leopard Discus, also known as Symphysodon sp. 'Snow Leopard,' is a captivating variant of the popular discus fish species. This discus variety stands out due to its striking snow leopard-like pattern, which features a base coloration ranging from light beige to pale yellow or cream. The dark spots, resembling leopard spots, adorn its body, creating a mesmerizing contrast. These spots are irregular in shape and vary in size and density, with some individuals displaying more spots than others.

The Snow Leopard Discus grows to a size of approximately 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 centimeters) in diameter when fully mature. Like other discus fish, they require stable and well-maintained aquarium conditions. It is recommended to keep them in a species-specific tank or a community tank with compatible, non-aggressive fish species. Providing ample hiding places and spaces for exploration is important. They may exhibit breeding behaviors, such as cleaning and defending a chosen spawning site.

Maintaining specific water parameters is crucial for the health of Snow Leopard Discus. They thrive in soft, slightly acidic to neutral water conditions with a temperature range typically between 82 to 86°F (28 to 30°C). Regular water changes and consistent water quality are essential.

Snow Leopard Discus are omnivorous and benefit from a varied diet. High-quality flakes, pellets, and granules designed for discus fish can be provided. Additionally, incorporating frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia is recommended to provide necessary protein and nutrients. A diverse diet enhances their coloration and overall health.
