The Royal Blue Discus (Symphysodon aequifasciata) is sometimes called a South American Discus. It belongs to the family named Cichlidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 6.0 inches in length, the Royal Blue Discus is passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. Based on the particular specimen you acquire and its environment, the time when it is most active can fluctuate day or night, and will hang out or do best in the lower tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is good after pairing up and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Symphysodon aequifasciata should not be housed in a tank less than 55 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 6.1 - 7.5, temperature between 79 - 86 degrees fahrenheit, Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include high water quality, planted aquarium, and dim lighting.
