{"product_id":"red-spider-discus","title":"Red Spider Discus","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe red spider discus (\u003cem\u003eSymphysodon\u003c\/em\u003e sp.) takes its name from the fine, web-like tracery of red that spreads over a paler ground, the lines thinner and more broken than the bold striping of a turquoise fish. How far that webbing extends differs from fish to fish, and it usually becomes clearer as the fish fills out. Discus are disc-shaped South American cichlids from warm, still, tea-coloured water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAquarium care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTall aquarium; discus need vertical room more than length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm water at the upper end of the tropical range, kept stable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular partial water changes; they do poorly in tanks left to drift.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep five or more so no individual is bullied.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscus granules, frozen bloodworm and beefheart preparations, fed patiently.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot a fish for a newly cycled tank; let the system mature first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood for a keeper who wants detail worth looking at closely and is prepared to maintain the tank to suit. Cardinal tetras, rummy nose tetras and sterbai corydoras all handle the warmth; large plecos and other fish that rasp at surfaces are a poor choice alongside slow, flat-sided fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStock rotates with each shipment, and livestock is sold for local pickup at our Lethbridge store.
