    I kept discus about 6 months after getting into fishkeeping.
    Weekly water changes, lots of plants, about 86°F, food twice a day, and I had some happy, healthy fish. They're super personable, and each one is a unique character.
    Unfortunately, the tank wasn't level and broke. Everyone survived, but as I didn't have a backup tank at the time, I put them in buckets and sold them back to the store I got them from.
    10/10 would keep again, and highly recommend them to any diligent keeper.

      LOL! Not really...but it depends on what you pair them with. In some cases, like if the fish are slow and do not have an area of their own, that could happen. For these, it is best to keep them with fish that are equal or larger in size, fast swimming, and preferably in a tank large enough to where all of the fish have a little space of their own.
