What is the scientific name for Turquoise Discus?

Although some years ago there were thought to be several types (species) of discus and all were given different 'taxonomic' names, DNA research has now proven that there are only two types (species) of discus. These two species are Symphysodon discus and Symphysodon aequefasciata. The former is known as the "Heckel" and is quite hard to keep and breed and the latter (S. aequefasciata) is the one that the commercial breeders (mainly in Tropical Asia) have had a lot of fun with and produced all the fancy colours like the one you refered to as the "Turquoise Discus". Genetically a "Turquoise Discus" is the same as a "Pidgeon Blood" is the same as a "Marlboro Red". They are all S.aequefasciata.

What do you do if your feeder fish has bumps on its scales?

If you are using the feeder fish to feed other fish with then I would toss them right away. If you plan on keeping them a while then I would treat your tank with fungus treatment or parasite treatment. More then likely they have one or the other. I would not let any of your more expensive fish eat them and take the risk of losing your bigger fish over a 10c fish. I got some feeders today and when I got home I noticed they all had bumps either on them or inside them and the feeders are for my big oscar and flowerhorn fish and i took the fish back because i wasn't about to risk losing my other fish. Good Luck

What do home fish eat?

Try your local pet or department store. There should be an area just for fish and packaged "fish food" that most home fish would eat just fine. There are a few different types, but it should be clear on the packaging what size and type of fish the food is made for. If you happen to have a more or less exotic fish (something above and beyond the usual Goldfish or other commonly available pet fish from the store) you may wish to check with a greater authority on that particular species.

How are fish caught?

Fish can be caught in a multitude of ways. Most people use a rod and reel to catch fish. This features a long pole with a string going down the length of it. The pole (or "rod") is used to fling the string far out into the water. At the end of the string (or "line") is a hook, which is used to catch the fish. A weight may also be attached in order to fling the hook out further and help it sink in the water. A float can be attached somewhere along the line in order to keep the hook from sinking to far. Fish are attracted to the hook by some sort of bait, this can be almost anything: live worms, puff balls, small fish, fish eggs, and pieces of metal are allfrequently used. After the fish is hooked, it is brought in by reeling the line in using a reel. This method is actually highly ineffective at catching fish, thus it is termed "sport fishing" to reflect its difficulty. Most fish are caught using a net or trap. Dip-netting is the act of using a giant net on a very long pole to catch fish while standing waist deep in water. Over 50 fish can be caught in one day using this method. Commercial fishermen pull a gigantic net behind a boat to catch even larger quantities of fish. This is where most fish you would buy at a store comes from. Fish can also be caught in large quantities by using a "fish wheel," a small wheel which turns in the water and traps fish.
