Discus fish

Discus fish are vibrant, freshwater freshwater fish known for their striking colors and distinctive shape, resembling a discus or a round disc. Native to the slow-moving rivers of the Amazon Basin, they thrive in warm, soft, and slightly acidic water. They are social and typically kept in groups, requiring specific care, such as stable water conditions and a clean environment, to keep them healthy. Their calm demeanor makes them popular among aquarium enthusiasts. However, they are somewhat delicate compared to other fish and need attention to their tank setup, diet, and water quality to thrive.
