Product Description:

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 and heavily vegetated waters.

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). It should also have plenty of hiding spots and plants to mimic their natural habitat.

Diet and nutrition: Discus fish are primarily carnivorous and require a varied diet. Our premium frozen fish food is specifically formulated to meet their nutritional needs, containing a blend of high-quality proteins, vitamins, and minerals.

Size and growth rate: Discus fish can grow up to 8-10 inches in diameter, depending on the species. They have a slow growth rate and may take up to 2-3 years to reach their full size.

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 lower 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 changes and monitoring of water parameters are essential for their well-being.

Breeding and reproduction: Discus fish are known to be challenging to breed in captivity. They require specific water conditions, such as soft and slightly acidic water, and a well-established pair bond. Breeding can be stimulated by providing appropriate spawning sites and a nutritious diet.

Health and disease prevention: Maintaining optimal water conditions, providing a balanced diet, and regular observation of the fish’s behavior are crucial for preventing diseases. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to the main tank can also help prevent the spread of diseases.

Optimal water conditions: Discus fish thrive in soft, slightly acidic water with a pH range of 6.0-7.0. The temperature should be maintained between 82-86°F (28-30°C). Regular water changes and monitoring of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels are necessary to ensure a healthy environment.

Lifespan: With proper care, Discus fish can live up to 10-15 years in captivity.
