Discus Care: The Complete Guide to Caring for and Keeping Discus as Pet Fish The Discus (scientifically known as Symphysodon) is a genus from the Cichlidae family. The Discus is a freshwater fish that is native to the Amazon river basin. The Discus thrives in the Neotropical rivers and floodplain lakes of the Amazon. However the Discus can now be found in every continent of the world due to their popularity in the home aquarium trade. All Symphysodon species have a latterly compressed body in a similar fashion to the latterly compressed bodies of the Cichlids. However, unlike the Cichlid, the Discus has no extended finnage which gives their bodies the rounded shape that inspires their name. It is a very common misconception that Discus are hard to keep as pets but Discus have proven over time that they are incredibly robust, hardy and relatively easy fish to keep. Here at Fish Care Manuals we are passionate about fish care. As a brand we have a strong idea of what makes up a good fish care book. We have consulted with multiple experts in the field of fish caring to allow us to create a book filled with cumulative opinions and best practices. The experts we consult range from veterinarians to every day fish keepers who have had years of experience caring for the specific fish each book is on.
