III. Is this fish species peaceful or hostile?

Discus are generally peaceful and calm fish, but because they are cichlids, they can be aggressive toward one another, particularly when they are attempting to pair off and spawn. If the fish are unable to compete, they should be removed. The majority of serious hobbyists keep their discus separate from other species.

V. How to feed this species?

As omnivores, they will thrive on Shrimp Pellets, Aqueon Tropical Flakes, Color Flakes, Spirulina Flakes, Tropical Granules, and Algae Rounds. Both frozen and live foods should be given to the animals as treats or to encourage spawning. Beef heart is not harmful, but it is not a natural food for discus, which some hobbyists and breeders feed them. Rotate their diet daily and only feed them what they can eat in two to three minutes, once or twice a day for best results.
