Discus 七彩神仙鱼

The fish tank was setup since last year Nov 30.. with a very simple design..I started keeping discus two weeks later, unfortunately 5 discus were died after 3-4 weeks..although it have been taken care in 'proper' manner :(

Discus is not an easy going fish, it is very difficult to keep. Discus is shy and will get sick easily, but it is very pretty!

Times flies, after tried with errors for multiple times, without giving up.. finally those new comers were able to survive and live happily in the tank for more than 3 months!

It is kinda fun to see them swimming around....I hope the good effort will continue.. I have more confident to take care of them now :)

Tips - about discus

Discus is called "The King of the Aquarium." In my opinion, discus are the most beautiful fish one can place in a freshwater aquarium. As they name suggests, they are shaped like a throwing discus. Brilliantly colored with amazing patterns and striations, these fish are amazing to watch as they slowly glide through the water.
