The Blue Spotted Scorpion Discus is a stunning freshwater cichlid prized for its iridescent blue spotting and graceful, round body shape. Like other discus, it thrives in warm, soft, and slightly acidic water with stable parameters and low nitrate levels. These fish do best in well-maintained, planted aquariums with gentle filtration and plenty of open swimming space. They are peaceful but can be sensitive to stress, so tankmates should be calm and non-aggressive. A protein-rich diet of high-quality flakes, Nutramar pellets, Gamma frozen bloodworms, and brine shrimp supports their health and vibrant coloration. Regular water changes, stable conditions, and a calm environment are essential for keeping Blue Spotted Scorpion Discus healthy and thriving.
