DISCUS SNAKESKIN

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Discus cichlids are schooling fish and only feel truly comfortable in a group of 5-8 individuals. Generally, the more fish kept in a group, the less stressed the discus fish will be. However, it's important to remember that the aquarium filter should be appropriately sized.

Water Parameters:

Our discus fish thrive best at a temperature of 28°C – 30°C and a pH value between 6.5 and 7.5. pH values ​​of 5.5 – 8.5 are also possible, but a suitable biological filter system is necessary to prevent these values ​​from fluctuating too much. We keep our discus fish in normal hard tap water with a hardness of approximately 20°dGH. For water treatment, we use a carbon block filter to remove any chlorine residue and other toxins.

Feeding:

Our young discus fish up to 13 cm in length are fed the following 3-4 times a day:

Granules, Frozen Stendker food, Frozen Artemia
