Discus

Symphysodon spp.
To keep Discus water condition is crucial. Nervous fish, they also need peaceful companions. It is perfectly safe keeping them with Angels. Most of the Amazon Charachins make a good tank companions. A tall planted tank with soft, acidic, warm, well filtered water is ideal. Buy proven pairs or a group of young fish and allow them to pair themselves.
It is not easy to sex Discus. The fry must be kept with the parents cause the fry feeds by glancing on the adults body slime. Both parents take care.
Water temperature should be around 29'C, acidic pH 6. They grow up to 15 cm.
