Juvenile Pigeon Blood Discus | Symphysodon aequifasciata

Being cichlids, the discus fish is often kept in a species-only tank. They are peaceful fish and will form families within their own species. Younger discus fish will actually pair themselves, male to female, and remain an established couple. If this happens, it can signal that it’s time to breed. These beautiful fish are alert, interactive, and graceful which is why it’s sometimes been called the king of tropical fish.
