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.
"Hard disk drive" is an English equivalent of "discus fixus."
I wouldn't. One discus could outgrow your tank space and discus' are recommended to be in a group of five.
Not more than 6, discus need some room to move around but are middle dwellers, meaning the tend to stay and swim in the middle of the tank, no near the bottom or top.
"Discus fixus" is a Latin equivalent of the "hard disk drive" of computers.
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.
The plural of discus is discuses.
