Fish Species n.3 - Discus (Symphysodon discus)

Discus fish is the most beautiful of all tropical fish. I'm sure every aquarist wanted to keep some discus specie. They come from South America and have many color variables. And from the other tropical fish they are pretty difficult for care which brings even more popularity for them. Their max size of growth is 10-13cm and need warm water temperature between 26-30'C. They are peaceful with many other species and if you want to get the best from Discuss keeping you should keep group of them. They swim in the middle of the aquarium and for breeding they chose their partner so it's pretty difficult if you want to breed them. Feeding should be with vitamins food and for good color feed them with beef heart. They have lifespan 5-10 years.
