Wild Discus Fish Room
Welcome to the largest selection of wild discus fish for sale in the world! In fact, many aquarists agree that a natural wild aquarium is a regal sight to behold. Wild fish tracing their origins to the Amazon river can add a special touch to an otherwise picture-perfect tank.
To achieve a locale-correct waterscape, aquarists may opt for other native plant and animal species such as tetras, sword plants and anubias. In addition, wild discus collectors can spend hours searching for a perfect piece of driftwood. For enthusiasts that are not purists, other non-Amazonian plant species may work well. Similarly, exotic plecostomus and corydoras may add an interesting and personal touch to a wild-themed aquascape.
At Discus.com, we offer wild fish discus enthusiasts and collectors brief science lessons about discus. For instance, did you know discus fish were first brought to aquarists’ attention in 1835? Did you know there are 4 basic types of wild discus? In fact, according to Wikipedia, every hybrid strain ever created can trace its origins back to these 4 original wild strains? At Discus.com, we also teach you how to properly care for and treat your fish for diseases and health issues that may arise.
Traditional discus collectors will always prefer pure wild discus — especially those with interesting variations for breeding purposes. In fact, fish breeders will often obtain wild stock in order to strengthen existing bloodlines. Breeders may also be seeking traditional and classic genetics for creating innovative new strains. All of our wild fish are held in LTC (long term captivity), properly quarantined, and acclimated to tap water long before they are shipped to you!
Breeders seeking to innovate new strains always keep wild specimens on stock to pair back with hybrids. Traditional discus collectors will always prefer wild discus over hybrids for their classic appearance. Mother Nature knows best. Be dazzled by our wild-caught and F1 specimens.
Take a deep breath and enjoy our wild collection.

[…] That being said, they are hardy enough that it can be planted in cold water tanks as well. It is not, however, suitable for use in very cold water and should not be placed in outdoor ponds. […]
what is the smallest size tank you can use for breeding
My water has a high ph which is the best way to treat
My Discus pair have begun to spawn every week since Christmas. The eggs are fertile. As they hatch, the parents seem to fight over the babies; which then soon disappear. What should I do?
Can golden nugget plecos do well in a discus tank? In 84 degrees? Thank you.
Im having issues off and on by loosing fish. I have 7.6 ph tap water. I keep a 40 gallon barrel with heater and air Stone. I treat the barrel to lower ph in between weekly water changes for 40 and 90 gallon tanks. Any suggestions are welcomed.
I have 2 pair of Breeding Discus. They are all in separate breeding Tank (20 Gallon). The female lay eggs almost every week. the male also ejaculates, but within a few weeks, the fertilization fails. Eggs are all white, and I am not successful. Are both male impotent? Sometimes they also eat their eggs. Can you help me ? Thx
I love discus but always die on me. Now I understand have to be a no current pushing the flow. Temperature, tetras instead of angels. Etc…
I received in the shipment of the purchase #10880 an extra package of a yellow powder that medicine is and how they are used. Excellent the fish shipped although 2 of the 4 Altums 2 of them were not the expected size 3” but very healthy and beautiful fish the super excellent and punctual packaging under the adverse weather conditions to send.
When you say a discus size is 4″ is that measured to the base of the tail or the end of the tail?
Thanks
Great article and very informative.
I myself use to use 3 large canister filters in my 150 gallon xh aquarium, but maintaining 3 sun sun 704b canister filters became alot of work for me and made it hard for me to enjoy my discus I purchased from DISCUS.COM. so I took the plunge into a sump for my discus tank. 40 breeder aquarium makes a great sump…and now I definitely enjoy sitting and relaxing watching my beautiful discus…maintaining my sump is very easy and takes minutes, instead of hours cleaning several canister filters….also adds volume and is a place to add all my equipment…thank you Michael for providing such a wonderful website with loads of information and beautiful discus..
Where do you get your starter batch
What is the best medicine for it?
I basically want to know what meds I should have on hand
I have a few questions rather than a comment.
Would opening the shipping bag and allowing the built-up CO2 (from the trip) to escape suddenly raise the pH and make the ammonia in the water from the trip dangerous (by a sudden conversion from ammonium to ammonia due to the pH rise)?
Would it be safer to prepare new water at the pH they are accustomed to and then open the bag and quickly transfer them to the fresh water without ammonia present?
Also, what pH are your discus accustomed to so I may match my water to yours? Thank you, Mark, California.
Excellent readibg
