Discus fish are stunning, elegant, and full of personality – but they also require a little extra care and attention. Here are a few key tips to keep your discus happy and healthy:
Stable Warm Temps – Keep water between 28°C - 30°C. Sudden changes can stress them out!
Crystal Clear Water – Discus thrive in clean, soft, and slightly acidic water (pH 6.0–6.5). Frequent water changes are a must (at least 25–50% weekly).
High-Quality Diet – Feed them a varied diet of high-protein foods like beef heart, and quality dry foods. Feed small amounts 2–3 times a day.
Peaceful Tankmates Only – Discus are calm and gentle. Avoid aggressive or fast fish that may outcompete them for food.
Group Living – Discus are social! Keep them in groups of at least 5–6 for a stress-free tank.
Consistency is Key – These fish love stability. Avoid overhandling, overfeeding, or major tank changes too often.
Thinking of keeping discus? Do your research, plan ahead, and enjoy the reward of seeing these amazing fish thrive!
