Discus (Symphysodon sp) are a large fish requiring extremely good water of specific parameters. They also need regular water changes of at least 10% each day and 70% once a week in order to thrive. The calculation for all Freshwater Fish is around 1 gal of water (4.5ltrs) is required per 1 inch of fish (2.5cm). A well grown Discus can get to the size of a dinner plate but more commonly they reach the size of a DVD or CD. I have always allowed 10gals per adult Discus but have been criticised for overcrowding.

How long is a big fish tank?
A big fish tank is as long as its been built. 'Big' is a subjective term. Ask yourself, how long is a big fish tank, to me? That is where your answer lies. For me, a 'big' fish tank is anything over at or over 4 feet long.
How do you save small fish from big fish?

Should you put your fish in a bowl or tank?
it depends on how big it is if it is a goldfish or beta it can be in a bowl.If it is one of those big tiger fish or aqarium fish then put it in a big tank. A fish will grow to the size of the tank or bowl. For instance, say a goldfish is in a tank, it will not grow as big as the tank; however it will grow big enough to be able to swim in their environment. The fish will not overgrow the tank. I had a six inch goldfish in a thirty gallon tank.

No, not really, you need mostly water and a few rocks out of the water to bathe on, a big tank depending on how many turtles you keep, because they get BIGGER than you think they do! you also need a light and no other smaller fish with it.
