About this fish
Rose Red Discus is the 'king of the aquarium' — a stunning but demanding cichlid needing very warm, soft, pristine water and a group for security. Best for experienced keepers.
Care tips
- Keep very warm (28-31°C) — warmer than most community fish.
- Soft, acidic, spotless water with frequent large water changes.
- Keep 6+ to reduce bullying; feed high-quality varied foods often.
