White Face Super Red Discus – approx. 3.5″

White Face Super Red Discus: The term “White Face Super Red Discus” likely refers to a variety or strain of the Discus fish (Symphysodon spp.), which is a popular and colorful freshwater aquarium fish native to the Amazon River basin in South America. Discus are known for their vibrant colors, circular shape, and distinctive patterns.

Keep in mind that successful keeping of Discus often involves providing them with a well-balanced diet, proper tank size, good filtration, and regular water changes. If you’re new to keeping Discus or aquarium fish in general, it’s a good idea to do thorough research or consult with experienced aquarium hobbyists to ensure the well-being of your fish.

II. You would love the fish because…

Discus fish are known for their beautiful and diverse colorations, including shades of red, blue, green, and brown. They are considered a challenging yet rewarding species to keep in aquariums.

“Super Red” likely refers to a specific color strain of Discus that exhibits intense red hues. Breeders selectively breed Discus to enhance certain colors, and the term “Super Red” suggests a particularly vivid and deep red coloration in this case.

“White Face” likely indicates a specific trait where the face or head region of the Discus is predominantly white. This could be a result of selective breeding to emphasize this coloration.

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.
