Discus fish are one of the most striking freshwater species, known for their vibrant colors and distinctive round, laterally compressed bodies. They originate from the Amazon River basin and thrive in warm, soft, and slightly acidic water. Discus require pristine water conditions and a well-balanced diet to maintain their health and vivid coloration. They are social fish that do best in groups and are often kept in species-only tanks due to their specific care requirements. #DiscusFish #Aquarium

After laying their eggs on a flat surface, both parents take turns guarding and fanning the eggs to ensure proper oxygenation. Once the eggs hatch, the fry cling to their parents' bodies for protection and nourishment. The parents secrete a special mucus that the fry feed on, providing them with essential nutrients during their early development. This nurturing behavior is a beautiful example of parental care
