This
page
contains
a list
of
several of the most popular types of Discus Fish that are for sale directly from the breeder.
Because of their unique shape, temperament, and wide variety of
beautiful colors, Discus Fish are considered to be the most desirable
tropical fish for freshwater aquariums by many aquarists.
Here is a
beautiful wild Discus that was swimming in the Amazon
Rainforest a few days before this video was taken.
Discus will often grow to be over 5"
in diameter in an aquarium. Some scientists believe all Discus are the
same species, other scientists believe there are three species, and
still other scientists believe there may be many species and subspecies.

How to Keep Discus
1.
Discus need crystal clear, clean water.
Weekly partial water changes will be
necessary. We recommend pure R/O water
with deionization.
2. Keep the pH around 6.5.
3. Temperature around 84. Breeding
Discus should be kept at 88 degrees.
4. Softwater is needed. We
recommend Blackwater Extract.
5. Plants, especially sword plants, do
nicely with Discus. Just remember to clean the
gravel frequently. Plants act as a natural
filter to enhance the water quality.
6. Discus need lots of oxygen, so keep an
outside filter and an inside sponge
filter for extra aeration. We also highly
recommend a UV sterilizer. Ideally,
we recommend 1-micron filtration. Discus are
extremely susceptible to external bacterial
infections, so UV Filtration and special filtration are very
important.
7. We highly recommend keeping at least
one Plecostomus catfish in the aquarium. Some
species of Plecostomus harass Discus, so we only
sell Plecos on our website that are safe with
Discus.
8. Gouramis, Corydoras Catfish, and Angels
are also compatible tank mates for Discus, but
you have to be a little careful with the Angels,
because they can be carriers of Discus Plague.
9. Do not keep Discus with aggressive
fish, which includes most Cichlid Species, or
with fin-nipping species such as many Barbs and
Tetras.
10. Discus are grazers, so feed them
several times a day with a food that slowly
sinks to the bottom. We recommend feeding Discus three times a day. If that
is impossible, feed them at least twice a day with as much as they can eat in 10
minutes.
11. We feed our Discus the following
foods.
(a) Freeze Dried Blood Worms.
(b)
Sterilized Frozen Blood Worms frozen to -60 F.
to kill Hexamita.
(c) Glass Worms
are high
in fat content and the best food for Discus.
(d) Frozen Brine Shrimp fortified with Spirulina
Algae, because Discus require some plant
material. We do not feed our Discus Beef
Heart, because it ends to quickly foul the water. We
supplement our food with vitamins and minerals.
12. Many Discus do not show their full
colors as juveniles and will not until they are
mature adults.
13. Gallons per inch of Discus: 2-gallons for
each 2"
Discus, 3.25-gallons for 3", 5 for 4", 7.25 for
5", 9 for 6". Do not crowd Discus beyond these
guidelines. So six 2" Discus will require at
least 6 x 2-gallons = 12-gallons of water, and
when grown to 6" they will require at least 6 x
9-gallons = 54-gallons. A bigger aquarium is
always better.

The Amazon River, which is the natural home to
Discus, has been described as
is the “greatest river in the
world”. Rich in history and
surrounded by a wealth of mystery.
Scientists, even today, have
discovered only a small percentage
of the millions of species of
plants and animals that live
in the rain forests in the Amazon River
basin.
Located in South America right
at the equator, the Amazon River drains
the entire northern half of the
South American continent. All
the tropical rains that deluge
the great rainforests of “Amazonia”
are carried to the ocean through
the thousands of tributaries
which feed the Amazon.
More water flows into the ocean
from the Amazon River than the
combined output of the
Mississippi, the Nile, and the
Yangtze rivers. Of all the river
waters flowing into the world’s
oceans, one fifth of that water
comes from the Amazon. Click
