Fish of the disc are a particularly special breed of fish and therefore an aquarium of the disk must be also special! Fish of the disk are very intelligent and more aware of their entourage of other fish. With this in mind, let's look at just what you need to create the perfect disk fish tank!
Fish of the disk are generally large enough that therefore naturally an aquarium of the disk must be rather sizable thus. The minimum recommended dimensions are typically 120 cm x 40 cm x 50 cm. Remember however that fish of the disk are more comfortable when with one school of the disk, which means that you may need a largest reservoir for account of the increase in the number. For a group of approximately 5, a Discus aquarium will contain approximately 55 to 90 gallons of water.
Which brings us to the quality of the water - a very important factor. A Discus aquarium should have zero ammonia and nitrite in its waters. High levels of these chemicals in disc throwing fish stress, which can cause serious health problems. Tank bred Discus in water with alkaline hard so your pH levels of the water around 7 years is recommended. A tank of fish exclusively Discus should be 20 to 40% of its water cleaned around two times per week.
Wise, recommended temperature ranges are 28 degrees Celsius for the purpose of display and approximately, 32 degrees Celsius, for purposes of reproduction. When you change the water, be sure to make sure that it is approximately at the same temperature that the fish of the disk are prone to "shock" which can lead to health problems.
Thus, the position of the aquarium of the disk is very important. Keep in mind that Discus fish is very shy and will hide when uncomfortable so keep them away from the occupied areas and the light of the Sun. Plants are a very good idea as they provide shade and a hiding spot (does not mention also be able to the pleasant to watch char)! Pieces of driftwood and the occasional rock (devoid of metal ores or contaminants!) is highly recommended as part of the natural environment of fish from the start of the disk.
Keep in mind however that Discus fish provide most aesthetic therefore keep the decor to a minimum and to deal with avoiding sets "fun" as the vessels or objects made of plastic.
Enjoy your brand new Discus fish tank - perhaps your fish like always!
