Red Pigeon Checkerboard Discus
Symphysodon sp
Discus are regarded as one of the most well-known fish to the freshwater hobby, popularized by their striking colors and patterns.
They are a peaceful fish that only become territorial while they are breeding.
They grow to roughly 8" and would prefer a taller rather than wider tank of at least 60 gallons.
They like their water between 79-86oF, a pH between 6,1-7.5, and dKH between 3-8.
They are primarily carnivores, so providing them with high quality flake food, frozen shrimp, and Discus pellet food will benefit them. Because of their eating habits their water must be cleaned more often than other freshwater species, as they are more likely to do unwell in poor water conditions.
