Long considered the most beautiful of all freshwater aquarium fish, the discus remains a popular fish for serious hobbyists. Discus originate from the warm, acidic waters of Amazon tributaries in Brazil and Peru and are typically found in large groups. The many wild forms of discus have been selectively bred to create dozens of colorful strains, including the Blue Leopard Discus, which is known for its ornate pattern of red spots on a blue body. In the aquarium, regular large water changes, a protein-rich varied diet, and warm water temperatures (78-84) will create ideal conditions for these fish to thrive. Like all discus, they will do best in soft, slightly acidic water but will reward patient aquarists with spectacular coloration.

The Endlicheri Bichir or Saddled Bichir (Polypterus endlicheri) is a widespread species of Polypterus which inhabits various slow-moving shallow water habitats throughout much of West and Central Africa.
