Discus Tetra

Special requirements

• Careful Tankmate Selection

  Peaceful but vigorous and relatively large. Avoid very small or timid tankmates; best kept with similarly-sized fish like larger characins or medium cichlids.

• High Oxygen and Flow

  Requires a high proportion of dissolved oxygen and moderate water movement mimicking a flowing stream.

• Strict Maintenance

  Requires routine weekly water changes of 30-50% to maintain water quality.

• Plant Restriction

  May nibble on softer-leaved aquatic plants, so stick to robust plant varieties or hardscape.
