The Care and Feeding of Discus Fish 

Considered the pride of many fish breeders, discus fish and their care do have certain care requirements. When you plan your discus fish aquarium it is really important to decide on its purpose: is it going to be a family show tank or will the discus fish be kept for breeding?

Discus fish care is not difficult at all; on the contrary, it brings immense satisfaction. For instance, the family habits you'll observe during discus fish care will highlight the active role the male discus plays in the raising of their fry.

Discus Fish Care - Their Water 

Keep in mind the fact that discuss fish are extremely clean and they like pure water all the time. Therefore, a special part of discus fish care should focus on keeping a close watch on water recycling, temperature and oxygen level.

In order to avoid various diseases due to improper discus fish care, make sure all the parameters of the discus fish water are within the normal ranges.

For instance, good discus fish care means the water is at a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius at the maximum; if it gets warmer, the level of oxygen drops and you'll be subjecting your discus fish to oxygen starvation.

Another aspect of discus fish care is the establishing of colonies of nitrifying bacteria in the filter. This is essential since no discus fish care measures allow you to put the fish in a tank without these bacteria. They are responsible for keeping the ammonia and the nitrites under control by consuming the fish waste as food.

Therefore, you may choose several nitrification methods in the process of discus fish care, the most important being the type of filter you decide to use. Plants contribute to reducing the amount of toxic substances in the water, but you will still have to change it on a regular basis.
