Scientific and Common Names: Discus fish (Symphysodon spp.)

Habitat: Discus fish are native to the Amazon River basin in South America, where they inhabit slow-moving rivers, flooded forests, and lakes.

Tank Setup: Discus fish require a spacious tank with a minimum capacity of 50 gallons. The tank should be well-filtered and maintained at a temperature between 82-86°F (28-30°C). A soft substrate, live plants, and hiding spots are recommended to mimic their natural habitat.

Diet and Nutrition: Discus fish are omnivorous and require a varied diet. Our premium frozen fish food is specifically formulated to meet their nutritional needs. It contains a blend of high-quality ingredients such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia, providing essential proteins, vitamins, and minerals.

Size and Growth Rate: Discus fish can reach a size of 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) in diameter. Growth rate varies depending on factors such as diet, water quality, and genetics.

Behavioral Traits: Discus fish are known for their peaceful nature and social behavior. They are often seen in groups and prefer to swim in the middle and upper levels of the tank. They may become territorial during breeding.

Care Level: Discus fish require intermediate to advanced care due to their specific water and dietary requirements. Regular water testing, maintenance, and monitoring of their behavior and health are essential.

Breeding and Reproduction: Breeding discus fish can be challenging but rewarding. They are known to form monogamous pairs and exhibit elaborate courtship rituals. A separate breeding tank with specific water conditions and appropriate spawning substrate is necessary for successful breeding.

Health and Disease Prevention: Discus fish are susceptible to various diseases, including bacterial and parasitic infections. Regular water changes, proper filtration, and a balanced diet can help prevent diseases. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to the main tank is also recommended.

Optimal Water Conditions: Discus fish thrive in soft, slightly acidic water with a pH range of 6.0-7.0. The water temperature should be maintained between 82-86°F (28-30°C). Regular water testing and maintenance are crucial to ensure optimal conditions.

Lifespan: With proper care, discus fish can live up to 10-15 years or even longer.
