Discus fish are one of the most striking freshwater species, known for their vibrant colors and distinctive round, laterally compressed bodies. They originate from the Amazon River basin and thrive in warm, soft, and slightly acidic water. Discus require pristine water conditions and a well-balanced diet to maintain their health and vivid coloration. They are social fish that do best in groups and are often kept in species-only tanks due to their specific care requirements. #DiscusFish #Aquarium

Heckel discus fish prefer to live in pairs, and here at Mystic Aquarium, eight of the thirteen individuals are mates! While they are social and a schooling fish, they continue to choose the same companion for multiple spawning periods. Unlike most other species who leave their fry (fish babies) to fend for themselves, discus fish act more like marine mammals in how they provide for their young! How many fry can you spot in this video? | Mystic Aquarium
