Fish tanks and the fish themselves are also effective stress relievers. That s why many people today would rather own fishes. And one of the fish breeds that many aquarists choose is the discus fish. Before anything else, there are many advantages in owning a pet fish. First you won t need to take them for walks, you don t have to give them baths, they don t demand much attention, and you don t really have to clean up after them after every while. So if you have 3 to 4 pairs of discus fish, a 75 gallon tank would be good enough. If you can, try to add an outside filter, especially if you have a large tank, s this will be able to help out in increasing the aeration and the filtration of the tank. The need for a large tank is not only because they can grow big, but because they grow big fast. Internal parasites can also infect discus fish. Although most internal parasites in discus fish may not cause serious threats, you have to remember that these parasites can eventually grow uncontrollably, which can cause serious problems for your fish. A symptom of discus fish having internal parasites is that they may produce white feces. The rule in feeding discus fish is to not feed them more than 5 times a day and less than 3 times a day. You should also keep in mind that discus fish may acquire different kinds of diseases. They may have problems with parasitic worms. You can observe their healthy by taking a look at their feces. Clear or white feces are hints that your discus fish may have internal parasites and that they are unwell and need attention. Some of you may just be starting out, so you naturally would have many questions. And you may already know that it can be quite difficult to be one hundred percent sure that you will be successful in discus fish breeding. So what is the best way to go about it? First off, you need to make sure that you have a pair, a male and a female discus fish, that is the most obvious part. That is very stiff indeed, especially if you want to have more than one discus fish, and if you re going to breed them, then a pair would certainly be needed. But, if you want to have an aquarium full of discus fish and want to save money in doing so, then you would just have to breed them yourself. Breeding discus fish is not as hard as you may think; it s not as simple either.
