Symphysodon colloquially known as Discus, is a genus of cichlids native to the Amazon river basin in South America. Due to their distinctive shape, behavior, and bright colors and patterns, Discus are popular as freshwater aquarium fish, and their aquaculture in several countries in Asia is a major industry.They are sometimes referred to as pompadour fish.

Discus fish are very peaceful, avoiding conflict through escape and intimidation. In most tanks, they are one of the largest and brightest fish so we named it "The King of Aquarium" .They are a schooling fish, and in large groups can create a wall of patterns across the tank.

Discus similar other cichlids sot there will be some competition in the shoal and a pecking order will be established. This means smaller fish will need to be monitored to make sure they are able to eat.

Discus tend to stay in the mid-levels but will rise to the top and dip to the bottom to forage; so they can easily dominate all levels of the tank. They do prefer to be free-swimming but need the option to be close to cover such as large driftwood or plants in the tank.
