Discus are widely considered the king of the freshwater aquarium — prized for their perfectly round, disc-shaped bodies and stunning range of color strains developed through decades of selective breeding. From Royal Blue and Red Marlboro to Pigeon Blood and Leopard Snakeskin, each fish is a living work of art.
Discus require warm, soft, slightly acidic water and thrive best in species-only or carefully matched community setups. They are rewarding to keep for intermediate to advanced hobbyists who can maintain their specific water requirements.
