What Do Discus Eat !?
Discus will eat almost anything. At our facility we mainly feed pellets, flakes, freeze dried black worms and homemade Beefheart mix. We recommend you feed them a variety of foods also. Be cautious with frozen foods, other than homemade Beefheart mix.

Discus Fish Care Guide
Discus Fish Care Guide:
Food Types:
Discus fish thrive on a varied diet consisting of high-quality flakes, pellets, and frozen or live foods. Offer them a mix of protein-rich foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, daphnia, and high-quality discus-specific pellets. Supplement their diet with vegetable matter such as spirulina flakes or blanched vegetables like spinach and peas.
Water pH:
Maintaining the ideal pH level is crucial for discus fish. Aim for a slightly acidic to neutral pH range between 6.0 and 7.0. Regular monitoring and adjustments may be necessary to keep the pH stable.
Water Temperature:
Discus fish are tropical species and require a stable and warm water temperature. Keep the temperature between 82°F and 86°F (28°C and 30°C) for optimal health and growth. Use a reliable heater and thermometer to maintain consistent temperature levels.
Water GH (General Hardness):
Discus fish prefer soft to moderately hard water. Aim for a GH level between 5 and 12 degrees. Using purified or reverse osmosis (RO) water and adding necessary minerals and trace elements through supplements can help achieve suitable GH levels.
Water KH (Carbonate Hardness):
Discus fish thrive in water with low to moderate carbonate hardness. Aim for a KH level between 1 and 4 degrees. Regular water changes with properly conditioned water can help control KH levels.
Water Filtration:
A high-quality filtration system is crucial for maintaining water quality. Consider using a combination of mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration methods. Use a filter with adjustable flow rates and ensure regular maintenance to keep the water clean and free from harmful substances.
Tank Size and Decor:
Provide ample space for your discus fish to swim. A minimum tank size of 55 gallons (200 liters) is recommended for a small group of discus. Use smooth substrate like sand or fine gravel, and include driftwood, rocks, and plants to create hiding spots and mimic their natural environment.
Water Changes and Maintenance:
Regular water changes are essential to maintain optimal water parameters. Aim for weekly water changes of 25-50%, depending on the tank size and fish load. Use a dechlorinator to remove harmful chlorine or chloramines from tap water.
Tank Mates:
Choose tank mates carefully, as discus fish are peaceful but can be sensitive to aggressive or fin-nipping species. Suitable tank mates include peaceful tetras, corydoras catfish, and peaceful dwarf cichlids. Avoid aggressive or territorial fish.
Observation and Care:
Monitor your discus fish regularly for any signs of illness, stress, or aggression. Watch for changes in behavior, appetite, or physical appearance. Maintain a peaceful and stress-free environment to promote their well-being.
Remember, these are general guidelines, and individual discus fish may have specific requirements. Regular monitoring, observation, and adjustments are essential to ensure the health and happiness of your discus fish.
