Originally native to South America, Discus are quite popular because of their beautiful colours, regal bearing and can be a challenge to keep and breed successfully.
Discus fish are very peaceful and will avoid conflict through escape and intimidation. They are a schooling fish, and in large groups can create a wall of colourful patterns across the tank. They tend to stay in the mid-levels of the tank but will rise to the top and dip to the bottom to forage; so they can easily dominate all levels of the tank.
They do prefer to be free-swimming but need the option to be close to cover such as large driftwood or plants in the tank. Discus prefer soft and slightly acidic, warm water with temperatures around (27-31 C) and regular water changes.
