ANIMAL SPOTLIGHT

Caring for Tank-Raised Discus

Pigeon Blood RedPerhaps some of the most stunning freshwater fish, Discus add elegance and class to tropical aquariums all over the world. Discus originate from the Amazon River, and for many years only wild-caught specimens were available for aquarium trade. In recent years, however, breeders have successfully mastered the art of raising these beautiful fish. The hobby has benefited greatly from establishments such as Discus Hans, who we choose to carry in the shop. Tank-raised Discus are much easier to care for than wild-caught specimens. Even a fairly new aquarist can successfully keep these beautiful animals by maintaining stable water conditions, offering highly nutritious food, and performing consistent tank maintenance.

One of the most important aspects in Discus care is to have stable water parameters. Unlike many other tropical fish, Discus prefer a high temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Tank-raised specimens can tolerate a pH between 6.0-8.0, however we typically recommend a pH between 6.8 and 7.4; whatever value you choose, try to maintain a stable pH. The general hardness should be 15 GH, and the alkalinity should be kept around 8 KH. If you desire a planted tank, be sure to only use buffers and hardness products that are safe with plants. For optimum results, we recommend the use of reverse osmosis water followed by the addition of the trace elements needed by Discus. If you opt to use tap water, be sure to use a dechlorinator that will remove chlorines, chloramines, and iodine; none of these compounds are safe for Discus. We recommend testing your water parameters at least once a week for the following: ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, alkalinity, and general hardness. Temperature should be monitored daily. Ammonia and nitrite should be zero ppm, and nitrates should be less than ten ppm. Keeping a log will you help track any fluctuations that may occur.
