Are discus fish hard to keep?
Discus are not any more difficult to keep than other tropical fish. Proper tank maintenance is required, discus can be shy and somewhat picky eaters if you are feeding them different food than what they are use to. A clean tank is a must when keeping discus, weekly partial water changes are recommended. A high water temperature is required, around 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind, the cost of a discus fish is much more than other tropical fish. Keeping discus fish are not recommended for those who have never had an aquarium setup.

Can discus live in tap water?
Provided the tap water parameters are those that are required for keeping Discus there should be no problems. You would of course have to make sure any chlorine or chloramine is neutralised. Parameters for Discus are pH about 5.8 to 6.2 Total hardness about 25ppm but should be <100ppm. Temperature around 82F to 87F (never below 80F). Minimum size tank for Discus (they are shoaling fish and when young need to be in groups of 5 or more) is 48"x 18"x18" with a well cycled power filter to suit tank. Discus need a minimum of 10% water changed daily and at least 50% changed weekly. The tank can be bare for ease of cleaning but some people take the risk and have a substrate and plants.

What fish can live with discuss fish?
They are very sensitive and can only be kept with peaceful shoaling fish, such as tetras. No greedy fish, as Discus cannot tolerate bullying, ever. Discus are usually kept in a single species tank. As a retired Discus breeder I can assure you that Discus are as tough bold and bossy as any other Cichlid of a similar size. They are not shy and retiring, they are domineering and will take over a tank. To avoid bullying they need to be kept in groups/shoals of no less than 5 and probably 8 is better. The Minimum size tank for a Discus group/shoal is 72"x18"x24". The problem if you are new to fish keeping with Discus is that they MUST HAVE PERFECT WATER CONDITIONS to suit them, with very regular water changes of around 10% daily and 50% weekly. Temp must never go below 80F. pH around 6 and less than 20ppm GH/KH. is about right. Failure to keep Discus water within those right parameters will result in them getting sick and probably dying if the water is not fixed quickly. The only fish to keep with them however are others from the same kind of waters in the Amazon.
