Above: This picture was taken in our facility by one of our crew members, and it shows a young premium quality so-called Wild Red & Blue Discus, swimming in one of our aquarium.
Origin: Discus are Cichlids, and their ancestors lived in the Amazon and other Rainforests in South America.
But now of course they live in aquariums all over the world.
Maximum Size: In aquariums Discus can grow to be about 6" long and rarely even large .
Behaviors: Discus are usually not aggressive fish, but from time to time the can be territorial.
Compatibility: Some recommended tank mates include, other Discus species, a few Corydoras Catfish, some small Tetras like Neons and Cardinals, and perhaps a small Plecostomus Catfish.

Temperature: Discus live best from about 75 to 80-degrees F. with 78 being perhaps ideal.

Feeding: Premium Fish Food Pellets is best to feed to Discus.
Smaller sized pellets when young, and larger sized pellets when bigger, is the ideal food for these fish.

Water Conditions: These fish prefer a pH of about 6 to 7 with low hardness.
Most water in us U.S. has a higher pH and is harder but these fish can adapt, and so as usual it's best not to try to change the pH or the hardness.All of our fish are Premium Quality Fish from the best suppliers in the world.
