If you\u2019re looking for a beautiful exotic fish to add to your aquarium, look no further than discus fish<\/a>. Discus fish are a species of cichlids that are originally from the Amazon river basin in South America but are now hugely popular freshwater aquarium fish. Their bodies are tall and thin (which is where they get the name discus from) and can grow up to 10 inches long. This puts them on the larger side in terms of aquarium fish, but their beautiful colours and patterns make the effort and care worth it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Somethings Phishy, we carry a wide variety of discus fish including fire dragon, blue mosaic, and royal blue tiger discus. If you\u2019re looking to fill a large tank, there are also assorted 10 packs available for purchase. The discus fish we have available grow between 2.5 inches and 5 inches so they\u2019re much more manageable for less experienced aquarium owners than their bigger counterparts. To have the most success with discus fish, it\u2019s best to keep them in schools of around five, as they are naturally schooling fish. This means that you\u2019ll need a large tank with the water around 85 degrees Fahrenheit, which will help reduce illness in the fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no denying the exotic discus fish<\/a> are just stunning. Their peaceful temperament, long life span, and easy compatibility make discus fish a great addition to any freshwater aquarium.
