To treat this disease, you should turn up the water temperature in the aquarium to 35 ˚C and throw in an orvagil tablet. Holes appear on their head above their eyes. Hole in the head – The illness is caused by the lack of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D required for the normal growth and development of the fish and this deficiency is most commonly caused by inadequate and monotonous diet. Products that contain metronidazole are used to treat this disease. The fishes hide in the corners of the aquarium and throw up. The parasite first attacks the digestive system and then the kidneys and liver.ĭiscuses infected with hexamine usually don’t have visible symptoms for a long time but the water quality disbalance can make the fishes weaker and incite the reproduction of the intestinal parasite leading to animal dying in the span of three days. Intestinal parasites (Hexamite) – the illness causes their stomach to be drawn in and their excrement becomes white and slimy.

We prefer keeping Discus fish in aquarium decorated with our Wooden custom 3D aquarium backgrounds, they are the perfect environment for keeping species such as Central American or South American cichlids and are especially popular with Discus fish keepers. It’s also necessary to provide them with a bigger leaf or a ceramic bowl in which they will lay the roe. Aquarium/spawning place should be placed in a peaceful environment because discuses can’t stand noise or supervision during spawning. They can spawn in water with different characteristics but there is less roe that way.

For the egg laying to be successful, it’s necessary to have a special aquarium (50x50x50 in dimension) without the substrate and plants, with 20˚C degrees soft water and low levels of carbonate KH<1, GH 2-3 degrees and pH 5.8 – 6.2 which is accomplished with RO (reverse osmosis) systems. Discuses reach their sexual maturity after one year and then form couples ready to spawn.
