1. Discus Fish Introduction
Discus Fish are beautiful pets to have but understanding
their environment and learning how to keep them happy, healthy and breeding can be a huge job
for a beginner or even for someone who has been a discus fish lover for a while. If you are a
beginner or have not had much success with discus fish, no worries because you will have all
the information that you need for success.
What is the Origin of Discus Fish
Discus Fish are known as the “The King” of tropical fish. They originate from the Amazon
River and surrounding rivers and lakes. Discus Fish gets their name from the shape of their
body. Their bodies are disc-shaped. They are part of the cichlid family but they grow much
larger in size. They like deep water and you will need to get a big aquarium to make them
happy.
They are very sociable fish and they like in a groups. It is common to have least 6 discus fish in
the tank at one time. You will have better results if you keep them grouped together. This is
good for a couple of reasons. By having a group is a good way to see if they will partner up and
breed and it also keeps them from misbehaving.
One thing that I have discovered about them is that they look for food all day long. It is perfectly
fine to feed them a couple of times a day. Make sure not to feed them more than 5 times a day
because you don’t want to over feed them.
Discus Fish Colors
One of the things that I have found so unique about them is that you can change the color of
them by the food that you feed them or with hormones. Most owners and pet stores will feed the
fish food that will change their colors like beet juice, shrimp, paprika, and lobster roe. If you
feed your fish foods that will change their color, you will have to continue or their color will
slowly fade away.

2. Another way to get your discus fish to change colors is through hormones. The perceptions is
that the more colorful the fish is, the more likely someone is going to purchase it. As with
feeding fish to make their change color, hormone –treated fish will also start to lose their color
once the hormones stop.
Keeping your Discus Fish Happy
Keeping Discus Fish can be a job. The secret to having the happiest, healthiest discus fish is to
make sure that their water is clean. Unclean water will make the fish stressed and it can cause
illness. They are very shy and are sensitive to loud noises. For the optimal setting in the
aquarium, purchase stones, corals and plants so that they can rest and be able to hide. They are
highly sensitive and you want to keep them out of stressful situations. It is also a good idea to
put them in a quiet area in the home.
In conclusion, discus fishes are beautiful to have in your aquarium. They do require a little more
work to keep them happy but if you do you will have beautiful, happy, healthy long living discus
fish.
