Discus Care Guide
The Discus (Symphysodon aequifasciatus) is a advanced-level freshwater aquarium resident from Brazil, Peru. It reaches about 7.9 inches and should be kept in tanks of at least 55 gallons.
Keep water near pH 5.5-7, temperature 81-88F, and hardness 3-14 dH. Feed omnivore, cichlid pellets, frozen food with 1-2 small feedings daily.
Discuss need tank mates chosen around temperament, territory, and adult size. Provide line-of-sight breaks and avoid fish small enough to be swallowed.
