The Mohawk Discus is absolutely stunning. The bold colour and dramatic dorsal fin make it the highlight of my tank. I keep them in a group of five and they swim together calmly. Water quality is critical, but once stable, they thrive.

I bought this fish for a new aquarium setup. The colouring is vibrant and the ‘mohawk’ fin is very noticeable. They are active but not aggressive and enjoy being in a group. I’ve kept them for over six months with no issues.

Beautiful fish with strong colours. The pattern is unique and eye-catching. I do need to maintain very stable water parameters, but once that’s done, they’re a joy to watch.
