How To Choose Discus Tankmates

Picking the perfect tank mates is super easy. Why? Because there are not many to select from! Discus require plenty of space to swim about and claim as there own territory. Avoiding naturally territorial tank mates goes a long way to keeping happy and healthy Discus.
In this article we talk about what fish make the perfect tank mates for Discus and some not so obvious choices to avoid.

What Makes The Perfect Tank Mate?


If we ask this question from a Discus perspective the answer may sound something like, “A perfect tank mate is one that leaves me alone and doesn’t eat all my food.”
Almost all fish are aggressively territorial, I am not saying that they are all aggressive, but aggressively territorial. What I mean by that is most tropical fish will carve out a small section of the tank to claim as their own. For Discus this is not a good thing, especially because they tend to enjoy drifting through out the tank and hanging out where ever they choose.

What Fish Do Well With Discus?


Although most Discus have been bred in a controlled environment, long since removed from its natural origins, one must not forget them. Discus in the wild swim among many fish including a very colorful and harmless fish called Tetra!
Yes there are several varieties of Tetra’s and in my experience the best to be kept with Discus have been Cardinal and Lamp Eye Tetra’s. These two create stunning schools and keep a very low key type of presence in the tank. Most of the time, like the Discus they tend to drift from one side of the tank to the other. These Tetra’s are also not known to be veracious eaters and will not compete for food with your Discus.
One sure fire tank mate that never fails is the Cory Cat (aka Corydoras). Cory’s spend most of their time under the Discus radar in search of food between the gravel and under plants. When not looking for food they tend to settle in a spot and not move for some time, then before you know it they are scooting around again. Cory’s make great tank mates for Discus and help keep the tank a bit cleaner.

Fish To Avoid


Fish of similar or greater size than your Discus: Any fish that will compete aggressively with your Discus for food or space is no good. Any fish that will grow larger and more demanding than your Discus is no good. This includes flower horns, African cichlids, angelfish, oscars, etc…

Fish that are aggressive eaters: Most Discus will compete for food to a degree, but for your Discus to thrive it must be the largest and most fed fish in the tank.

Any sucker mouthed fish: Although I have never experienced it, “discus pros” claim that sucker fish will develop a taste for Discus slime. In my experience sucker mouthed fish usually get introduced into a tank to clean up algae. What ends up happening is they enjoy eating the Discus food and will stop eating algae. Occasionally becoming aggressive and territorial about the food and space in the tank.
Loaches: The only reason I mention loaches is because I introduced on into my planted Discus tank. I had a huge snail problem and loaches I read where supposed to be good at bringing snail numbers down. Loaches though turned out to be really aggressive eaters and got super fat! Once I decided to remove the loaches I practically had to remove all the plants and dismantle the tank in order to catch them. As it turns out the fat lazy loaches can dart around and swim fast when they have to. This cause a huge mess and stressed out my Discus. Just sayin…

High energy fish that zig zag everywhere: Danios are the perfect example of this as well as some larger Tetras and even Rasboras to an extent. What these fish enjoy doing is fin nipping, why exactly they enjoy this is unknown to me. Fin nipping can lead to fin loss and eventually infection to fish that are not used to being nipped, in this case Discus.

Are Discus Fish Hard To Keep Alive?

Discus fish have a very bad reputation for being difficult to keep alive. Discus are probably on the higher end of the price range so careful consideration of what is required to keep Discus is needed.
In this article we will tell you the truth and answer the question of whether Discus fish are truly hard to keep alive.

Getting Some Fresh Perspective


Let’s go to extreme’s for a moment and venture into the dog world. Most everyone is familiar with the giant Great Dane and the smaller Chihuahua. Deciding between both these dogs requires several obvious decisions before bringing one of them home. Some of them would be:
  • Do you have enough space in your home?
  • Are you going to be able to afford feeding the dog?
  • What extra doctor fees will I pay for having a larger dog versus a smaller dog
And so on… The same can be said about Discus fish. Deciding to keep Discus over Tetras or Oscars require you to understand the difference in care each species requires for a long healthy life.
Discus are no harder to keep alive than any other tropical fish when the proper knowledge and commitment is in place.

Discus Special Requirements


It is true, Discus require a bit more time and preparation. It is not as simple as sprinkling in some flake food and adding water only when half the tank has evaporated.
Here are some important points to consider about Discus:
  • Discus require frequent water changes. Note, frequency does not equal volume of water. If you decide to change 100% or 20% at a time, the point is to keep consistent frequency of the water changes. No more than once a day, no less than once a week.
  • Discus need friendly tank mates who will not challenge them for food. Discus do great with smaller fish like Lamp Eye Tetras and Coryodoras. Discus will not do well with aggressive dominate fish like Angelfish or other cichlids.
  • Food must be a healthy variety of proteins like beefheart, krill and shrimp as well as vegetables and plants. Most are pre-packaged in frozen cube form. California Blackworms are a great source for live foods. Do not make the mistake of feeding the same food day after day, variety is key for growth and longevity.
  • Breeders and Tropical Fish Stores are key contributors of how healthy and how long your Discus will live. Pick your Discus sources wisely. As far as I know, in all of my experience, I do not know of a case where a Discus was saved from the brink of disease and lived a long healthy life. Nor have I ever seen a stunted Discus that should have been culled grow into a contest winning Discus. Be picky and ask a ton of questions about the Discus you want to buy. It’s your money and Discus are not cheap! Ask about the food that is fed to the Discus, how often is the water changed and so on.
These are just a few points to consider, if you have questions please ask them below in the comments.

Discus Are Easy To Keep Alive


Discus really are easy to keep alive, when those who choose to keep Discus as a hobby take the time to learn a bit before starting.
Keeping Discus as a hobby can be a very rewarding experience. Discus live for a very long time, they learn to recognize owners, can be hand fed and uniquely raise and feed their own fry.
Like anything you choose to take on in your life, take the time to learn as much about it as possible before taking on the commitment. I am certain thousands upon thousands of Discus have met their demise to inexperienced hobbyist who didn’t bother to read a book or search the internet for more information. And call it a guess, but I am pretty sure that these people are the first to complain about how delicate Discus are and how hard they are to keep.
Do your homework, Discus are great and easy to keep.

How To Select a Discus?

Because Discus cost a bit more than the average freshwater fish, Discus hobbyist have developed several key factors to use in order to find the best of the best. Some of the following points I learned the hard way, most though have been taught to me from experienced hobbyist.

  • Discus should be round shaped not wedge shaped. Either bad genetics or stunted growth is to blame for odd shaped Discus. Poor diet also contributes to this.
  • Discus stomachs should not look like they are pinched. This could mean the Discus is not eating or is sick.
  • Discus stomachs should not look bloated. This could mean that the Discus has a digestive blockage or worm infestation.
  • Discus eyes should be smaller in proportion to their body. When the eyes are large for the body size of the Discus it means its growth was stunted by bad nutrition. There is no cure for this, no matter how much you feed it.
  • Discus eyes should be clear not cloudy or dark. Cloudy eyes can be a sign of poor health or stress.
  • Discus fins should be spread out and erect, not clamped down. Fins that are clamped down can be a sign of a stressed and sick Discus.
  • Discus body color should be vibrant and bright not dark or black. Dark or black Discus that are not carrying fry are either stressed or sick.
  • Discus should approach the glass of the tank when a hand is placed near the tank (not tapping). Approaching the tank glass is a sign of a happy Discus with a good appetite.
  • Discus fins should be intact, not torn. Torn fins can be a sign of nipping or poor health.
  • Discus should not have white or long stringy waste. This can mean internal parasites

How To Quarantine Discus?

It is vital that you quarantine Discus after purchase. Parasites can invade and destroy your happy Discus environment in days. With just a few extra precautions you can avoid disaster.
Read how to quarantine your Discus and what to look for before you buy Discus. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Why Quarantine Discus


I am as guilty as the next person. I will admit that when I started out with Discus, I would take them from the bag and put them straight into my tank. After all the point of buying the Discus was to enjoy watching it in my tank, right?
All was well in the beginning until I changed my source of Discus. I went to a new place, all I wanted was more Discus! I lost all rational thinking, in fact, I didn’t look for signs of illness or care very much about the environment. I just wanted a new Discus.
I went home and placed the new Discus in my tank with all the others. Later that week, sometime after feeding, I noticed long string white waste coming from the new Discus. How long had this been going on? Is this Discus sick? Will my other Discus get sick as well?
Sure enough, after some time, the new Discus stopped eating. After a few more days it died. Then followed the others, with similar symptoms and not knowing what to do, they all died.
That is my story. I am sure countless others have experienced something similar. Back then I didn’t have the internet and books were scarce. Yep, no Amazon.com either! I tried going to the local fish store, they avoided the questions. They even got offended! I remember them saying that Discus were very delicate and difficult fish. Now I know better, Discus are neither delicate nor difficult, had I just taken a few extra steps. Here is what I learned.

How To Quarantine Discus


Quarantine means you are going to have another tank on standby for new fish to live in for a few weeks to observe for parasites or health issues. Here is the basic list of what you will need:
  • Spare tank with cycled water. 10 gallon or 20 gallon will do.
  • Tank hood to keep Discus from jumping out.
  • Submersible heater
  • Sponge filter
  • Air pump
This is a bare bones system. No fancy stuff, just simple.
No gravel in this tank at all! Keep the tank super clean. The point of this tank is to provide a simple way for you to observe the health of your new Discus.
What to observe:
  • Fish Waste must be observed for some time. You want to make sure no worms, tapeworms or other digestive issues exist.
  • Food consumption must be observed. If the Discus is not eating it may have problems.
  • Body fungus or injuries. Look for fin rot, cuts or scrapes and medicate if needed.
By keeping the new Discus in a separate tank you can also adjust parameters to help the new Discus heal or recover from infection, parasites or stress.
  • Raising the temperature a few degrees is known to stimulate appetite. Also some parasites are known to die off in warmer waters.
  • Adding aquarium salt also helps reduce Discus stress. A smaller tank means less salt and more direct impact.
  • Medicating is much easier and cost effective. Should you find parasites, treatment will be simpler in a quarantine tank than if you had to treat your main established tank.

How To Acclimate New Discus

Acclimating new Discus to your tank is a very important step. Not taking the time to do it properly can cause irreparable damage to your Discus, even death.
This article covers some easy to follow techniques to get your new Discus started happily in their new home.

Float The Bag (Don’t Do This)


The most common way your local fish store will tell you to acclimate 99.9% of all your fish is to “Float The Bag” the fish came in. In short here is what this does:
  • Heat transfer so bag water and tank water match up
  • Allows for a quick hello for tank mates
  • Gives your Discus time to lay on its side, note this is not a good thing
Floating The Bag has only one positive and that is the heat transfer between bag water and tank water. The chemistry of the water will still be a shock to your Discus when it is introduced into the tank. So how can we take care of this? Lets read on…

The Bucket Method


I LOVE BUCKETS! There, I said it, it had to be said. You can never have to many buckets, ever. This is why.
When you purchase a new Discus you can take your bucket with you. Fill the bucket one quarter of the way full with water from the breeder or fish store. Enough to cover your Discus without the bucket weighing a ton. Place a lid on the bucket to keep the Discus from jumping out. Buckets are not transparent so the Discus gets a nice calm place to relax on its journey to your home. And finally the best reason that buckets are great, acclimation!
Here is what you need:
  • A spare heater
  • A plastic cup to transfer water
  • Possibly a mop or towel, in case of spills
  • A timer
  • A fishnet
Here is how you do it:
  • Place the bucket containing the Discus near the tank that will become its new home
  • Place the spare heater in the bucket and set it to match the temperature in the tank
  • Using your cup, transfer a full cup of tank water into the bucket
  • Set the timer about ten minutes
  • When the timer goes off, add another full cup of tank water to your bucket
  • When the bucket is about half full, or still light enough to lift, stop!
  • You can now either pour in the contents of the bucket into your tank, removing water as needed to lift the bucket or using a net scoop the new Discus out and place it in the new tank
Acclimating Discus via buckets is much more beneficial than the “Float The Bag” method. It allows for the transitional acclimation of water and its variation in chemistry. In other words, it makes switching from the old water to the new water easier.

Perfect Water

Want perfect Discus water in your tank? Tired of fussing with chemicals and RO systems? Unless your backyard is the Amazon river you need to read this. Having perfect Discus water in your tank is easier than you think.
In this article we will cover some tips on how to have the best Discus water in your tank!

Do Not Use Chemicals


There is no reason to be messing with your current water via chemicals purchased online or the local fish store. Here is why, unless you are a trained chemist or run your tanks like laboratories, you will mess up or run out of chemicals. Then what? Let me tell you what will happen, the water in your tank will become unstable leading to, you guessed it, Discus death.
The only one solution you should be adding to your water is your favorite brand of chlorine/choloramine remover. That’s it! Chlorine and Chloramine are found in municipal water sources to kill bacterial growth. One other very bad thing it does is burn the gills of your Discus. That is why treating your water used for water changes with chlorine/chloramine remover is a must.

Separate Water Container


The ideal setup would have a separate container with enough water for 100% water change on stand by. This can be done easily by using a heavy duty plastic trash can which can be purchased at the local hardware store in different gallon sizes. Personally I keep several 45 gallon plastic trash cans filled with water for Discus.
When purchasing your trash can, don’t forget to buy the lid! This will come in handy when trying to keep the water temperature stable.
The trash can is either filled with an Tap/RO mix or straight Tap water. Inside the trash can I place the following in the water:
  • Titanium Heater – I set this to match the tank temperature so when the water is used there is not a huge fluctuation in temperature.
  • Powerhead – This is to circulate the water in the trash can. Without this the water would not be evenly heated.
  • Air Stone – A large air stone with a powerful air pump will not only make the water oxygen rich but will also quickly stabilize the water chemistry.
  • Chlorine/Chloramine Remover – Reading the lable on the bottle I introduce the required amount of remover per gallon of water.
So how do you get the water out of the trash can? If strong enough the same powerhead can be used or a stronger inline water pump can be used to take water from the trash can to your tank.

Stop Obsessing About Chemistry


Discus are resilient if and when raised with a good diet and kept in clean tanks. I have seen many hobbyist obsess over water chemistry to the point where they are more interested in water than Discus.
Enjoy your Discus and pay attention to their health. Discus can do great in many regions and in a variety of water mixtures. What Discus and most all living things cannot tolerate is a constant change in environment and the stress it produces.
By using harsh chemicals to replicate the impossible perfect water what you end up doing is sending your Discus to an early grave. If you want to remove particles, lower total dissolved solids (TDS) or other harmful substance use an RO System or water from a “Water Store”. Other than that keep your water treatment routine simple, clean and stable.

Questions For You


Do you keep water for water changes on stand-by?
Do you treat your water with chemicals?
Do you use and RO System?

Discus: Definition

Discus (Symphysodon spp.) are a genus of three species of cichlid freshwater fishes native to the Amazon River basin.[1] Discus are popular as aquarium fish and their aquaculture in several countries in Asia is a major industry.


Taxonomy

Discus belong to the genus Symphysodon, which currently includes three species: The common discus (Symphysodon aequifasciatus), the Heckel discus (Symphysodon discus), and a new species which has been named Symphysodon tarzoo.[6] However, a further investigation published in August 2007 [7] suggested that the genus held the three species: S. aequifasciatus (the green discus), S. haraldi (the blue/brown/common discus) and S. discus (the Heckel discus). Both studies suggest three species; the only disagreement is in the scientific names for each.


Appearance

Like cichlids from the genus Pterophyllum, all Symphysodon species have a laterally compressed body shape. In contrast to Pterophyllum, however, extended finnage is absent giving Symphysodon a more rounded shape. It is this body shape from which their common name, "discus", is derived. The sides of the fish are frequently patterned in shades of green, red, brown, and blue. The height and length of the grown fish are both about 20–25 cm (8–10 in).


Reproduction and sexual dimorphism

Another characteristic of Symphysodon species is their care for the larvae. As for most cichlids, brood care is highly developed with both the parents caring for the young. Additionally, adult discus produce a secretion through their skin, which the larvae live off during their first few days. This behaviour has also been observed for Uaru species. However when bred in captivity the larvae will tend to live off their parents secretion for up to 2 weeks.[8]


Distribution

The three species of Symphysodon have different geographic distributions. S. aequifasciatus occurs in the Rio Solimões, Rio Amazonas and the Río Putumayo-Içá in Brazil, Colombia and Peru. In contrast the distribution of S. discus appears to be limited to the lower reaches of the Abacaxis, Rio Negro and Trombetas rivers. S. tarzoo occurs upstream of Manaus in the western Amazon.

Discus commun

Le Discus commun (Symphysodon aequifasciatus) est une espèce de poisson d'eau douce originaire de l'Amazone. Il en existe plusieurs sous-espèces très difficiles à distinguer. D'ailleurs, toutes les variétés du genre Symphysodon (ou discus) se ressemblent beaucoup, physiquement et comportementalement et peuvent produire une grande variété d'hybrides appréciés en aquariophilie. Les conditions et précautions d'élevage sont donc communes au genre Symphysodon.


Sous-espèces


le Discus vert

Le discus vert (Symphysodon aequifasciatus aequifasciatus, Pellegrin 1904) se rencontre principalement à l’ouest de l’Amazonie dans une zone qui s’étend du rio Puru jusqu’aux frontières colombiennes, équatoriennes et péruviennes. Chez ce poisson, la nageoire anale est de couleur bleu vert irisée uniforme, agrémentée sur certains sujets de points ou de vermicules rouges.

La couleur du corps est le plus souvent brun orange, mais elle peut varier. Dans le rio Juruá, certains spécimens peuvent être jaune soutenu et certains autres mauve. Dans le lago Coari et le rio Japura, ils peuvent être blanc avec le reflet caractéristique bleu métallique constellé de points rouges.[réf. nécessaire]

le Discus brun

 

Le discus brun (Symphysodon aequifasciatus axelrodi, Schultz 1960) se rencontre depuis l’embouchure de l’Amazone à Belém jusqu’à Manaus. Il tient son nom du docteur Herbert Axelrod qui en pêcha des quantités dans les années 60 pour les réexpédier aux États-Unis. Sa couleur peut varier d’une manière considérable suivant les régions. Elle va du brun clair façon caramel cuit en passant par les différentes déclinaisons de rouge, orangé et jaune, certains spécimens peuvent être mauve. C’est un poisson qui est très peu vermiculé.


le Discus bleu

 

Le discus bleu (Symphysodon aequifasciatus haraldi, Schultz 1960) est lui présent depuis le rio Puru, le lago Manacapuru et le rio Manacapuru jusqu’au-delà de Santarem. Ses patrons de colorations sont les mêmes que ceux de l’S. a. axelrodi, mais, chez lui, les vermicules bleues irisées sont beaucoup plus nombreuses, notamment au niveau du front et sur le dernier tiers inférieur du corps. Certains d’entre eux peuvent être vermiculés sur tout le corps : on leur donne alors l’appellation royal (bleu ou rouge).

Une passion

J'écris cet article afin de vous expliquer un peu d'où l'idée de DiscusPassion est partie. Le nom de l'entreprise ne relève aucunement d'un hasard. En effet, l'idée de créer cette entreprise a débutée d'une passion. Je crois que le fait de partager cette passion est le meilleur moyen pour moi d'aimer mon emploi. En fait, lorsque j'ai décidé de me lancer dans l'aquariophilie et dans le maintien d'un aquarium, j'ai eu quelques choix à faire. Eau douce ou eau salée? Personellement, j'ai préféré l'eau douce pour plusieurs raisons. Premièrement, pour le côté très naturel de la chose. En effet, on peut faire des montages qui reflètent les cours d'eau que nous avons au Québec et au Canada, et cette idée me plaisait. Aussi, le côté monétaire n'est pas à nier. Il était moins cher pour moi de m'équiper pour l'eau douce que pour l'eau salée; peu de calculs s'imposaient; un bac en eau salée est beaucoup plus cher. Ceci étant dit, il y avait aussi le côté entretien. Pour apprivoiser un nouveau hobby et de faire de celui-ci une éventuelle passion, il est de loin préférable de se rendre la tâche plus facile. C'est ce que j'ai fait! Le maintien d'un bac d'eau douce demandant moins... beaucoup moin de soins. Après avoir maintenu différentes espèces de poissons dans ma première 150 gallons, j'ai découvert un trésor: le Discus! Mais quel beau poisson. Aucun, mais aucun rapport avec ce que j'avais déjà vu. Il m'a ébloui par sa splendeur, sa forme arrondie, sa minceur, sa grâce, mais surtout, par ses couleurs. Avec les nombreuses variétés existantes; sky's the limit! Ce fut le coup de foudre... Et je n'avais rien vu! Moi qui venais d'acheter mon premier discus dans une animalerie; je n'avais pas encore gouté à la vraie beauté ni au potentiel qui existait dans les fermes d'élevage. Je me suis alors lançée dans le maintien principal de Discus de différentes variétés. J'ai fait des essais, des erreurs, d'autres essais... beaucoup de lecture, d'apprentissage... et ce qui est intéressant de tout ça, c'est que je continue d'apprendre. C'est donc pourquoi toutes les conditions étaient présentes à la mise en place d'une compagnie se voulant être une fenêtre sur cette passion, afin de la faire partager au plus de gens possible ainsi qu'à leur rendre accessible des Discus de la plus haute qualité qu'il soit.
