General Comment:

    Discus, like angelfish (Scalare) are cichlids which come from the Amazon River in South America.  Not recommended for the beginner aquarist, certainly regarding attempting to breed and raise fry.  

    You can view the many strains and color morphs of Discus from the brown to green to blue to red and everything between.  For more information about Discus, please visit our the Membership Section.
