Full Care Guide
Discus Fish Care: Tank, Water & Group Guide
Discus are social Amazonian cichlids with specialised aquarium needs. OATA advises at least five fish, except an established breeding pair, and about 50 litres per adult—roughly 300 litres for six adults. Use that as a planning floor, then check usable dimensions, filtration, source water and the actual fish.

Ghost Discus is the understated member of this batch: pale, clean and at its best against a darker aquascape where the subtle colour is easy to see. This is a domestic discus colour strain in the genus Symphysodon; the strain name stays in the customer-facing title, while the scientific anchor is Symphysodon spp. (domestic discus strain).
Its strength is restraint rather than loud markings, so it suits keepers building a calm discus display around contrast, open mid-water space and gentle companions. Expect a peaceful mid-water cichlid with expert-level needs: warm, stable water, careful acclimatisation, disciplined maintenance and a mature aquarium of at least 250 litres.
