Choose Best Discus For Your Tank

There are signs of good healthy discus.

Do the fish swim to the front of the tank?
Do they feed aggressively?
Do they look fat & in shape?
Do the eyes look clear and bright?
Do the fins are straight & tall upright?
Do they breathing normally?
Is the tank housing the young Discus clean and the water clear?

If the answers to all these questions are "yes,". These are very encouraging signs indicating that the young fish are well kept, quite healthy, of high quality, and that the transition from the point of purchase to your home will be a smooth one.


Avoid to buy discus if you find the following signs in discus stock .

1. Dark color (Blackish). Possibility of sickness.
2. Heavy breathing (except when they feed & tank not aerated properly).
3. Non active.
4. When breathing only one side gill is working.
5. Hormoned discus (some breeder hormone fish to develop color).
6. Eyes looks big (possibe, fish is stunted)
