Advanced guide to discus care: high temperature management, water chemistry, color enhancement techniques, and breeding basics.
Discus, the 'King of Tropical Fish,' requires specialized knowledge but rewards keepers with stunning colors and engaging behavior.
Temperature 28-30C, pH 5.5-6.8, minimum 90cm tank, groups of 5+ recommended. Bare-bottom tanks are preferred for hygiene.
RO water recommended for hard water areas. Daily to every-other-day 30-50% water changes. Strong filtration with 5-8x turnover rate.
Discus hamburger (beef heart-based homemade food) is most effective for coloration. Dark tank backgrounds intensify colors. Stress-free environments with stable water quality promote natural color expression.
Refusal to eat (usually stress-related), darkening (subordinate fish), and hole-in-head disease (nutrition/parasites).
Bri-Choku offers domestically-bred discus with known bloodlines and feeding histories.
