Freshwater Discus Fish – Tips For A Beautiful Aquarium
Freshwater discus fish are very popular and one of the most beautiful tropical aquarium fish on the market today. The only problem with their beauty is price. In some cases a single discus can cost over $100 dollars. I would never nor do I recommend you ever paying that much for a fresh water discus fish. Discus do require some guidance to keep them healthy. My goal with this article is to show you the most important factors you need to keep a beautiful looking freshwater discus aquarium.
Freshwater Discus Fish – Aquarium Balance
Aquarium balance is the number of fish you should keep in your aquarium at one time. The broad rule of thumb should be to limit an individual freshwater discus fish per each ten gallons of water your aquarium can withhold. Discus love room to roam, using this guideline will keep your fish from feeling stressed and overcrowded.
Freshwater Discus Fish – Tank Size and Shape
Discus prefer a tall sized aquarium. If you were to have two aquariums and one was six foot long and eighteen inches deep and the other tank being four feet long and 3 feet deep. The discus would prefer the taller of the two tanks which would be 3×4 aquarium. Keep in mind if you have a tank like the first one I mentioned I don’t suggest you buy a new aquarium. They are merely aquarium suggestions they are not gospel. The only rule you should follow when picking out an aquarium for freshwater discus fish is to make sure the tank is at least eighteen inches deep.
I myself don’t advocate anything lesser than a thirty gallon aquarium. This is just my own opinion. I don’t like to utilize anything lesser than thirty gallons because the smaller the aquarium the harder it really is to care for the water. Plus I like to have more than 2 discus per an aquarium.
Freshwater Discus Fish – Feeding Your Discus
Freshwater discus fish are particular eaters. It is advisable to ask the breeder what brand of food your new fish prefer to eat. Although Discus do not require any special diet they do like to eat what they have been feeding on throughout their life time. To change their diet feed them the new food in small doses. Increase the dosage for about a week to get them accustomed to the brand new food. This is a secure and stress free way to alter their diet.
Freshwater Discus Fish – Water Quality
Water quality is of the most important and keeping your water quality clean and stable and the right temperature is a MUST! You will want to keep the water temp between 82 and 86 degrees.
Water changes are the first and obvious way to keep your water clean and stable. When making water changes only change about 15 or 20 percent of the water at a time. Do not make drastic water changes. It puts more harm than good on your discus and will cause them a lot of stress.
Freshwater Discus Fish – Water Chemistry
Chemistry is a little more advanced so let me share some important factors with you. You need to test the water hardness. You need to have soft water usually between 3 and 15dh. Now don’t forget about ph. This needs to be between 5 and 6.5. PH will be the most difficult factor among first time discus owners. This is important to learn because discus like to maintain a stable ph. Do not compromise their ph level. You will think everything is fine because the fish will live and in some case they may even breed but in reality your fish will always be stressed and have a short life span.
With the information I have shared. You will now be able to maintain a basic and beautiful freshwater discus fish aquarium. You can discover more advanced tips on breeding and keeping freshwater discus fish at the resources I found below.

Freshwater Fish Distribution $30 With more than 29,000 species, fishes are the most diverse group of vertebrates on the planet. Of that number, more than 12,000 species are found in freshwater ecosystems, which occupy less than 1 percent of the Earth’s surface and contain only 2.4 percent of plant and animal species. But, on a hectare-for-hectare basis, freshwater ecosystems are richer in species than more extensive terrestrial and marine habitats. Examination of the distribution patterns of fishes in these fresh waters reveals much about continental movements and climate changes and has long been critical to biogeographical studies and research in ecology and evolution. Tim Berra’s seminal resource, Freshwater Fish Distribution , maps the 169 fish families that swim in fresh water around the world. Each family account includes the class, subclass, and order; a pronunciation guide to the family name; life cycle information; and interesting natural history facts. Each account is illustrated, many with historical nineteenth-century woodcuts. Now available in paperback, this heavily cited work in ichthyology and biogeography will serve as a reference for students, a research support for professors, and a helpful guide to tropical fish hobbyists and anglers. |
