Discus Brown basic information

Brown Discus are round in shape and are very thin laterally. They can grow to diameters of ten inches (20 centimeters) and are quite graceful in appearance. The Brown Discus has a small mouth with such a steeply rising forehead that the fish is nearly perfectly round. Its brown anal and dorsal fins have long bases and the edges are rounded. The fin rays are highlighted with red streaks that run parallel to them. Interspersed with these rusty colored streaks are bands of iridescent blue. Brown Discus have saber shaped ventral fins, and yellow or light green caudal fins that are notched. As its name might suggest, the Brown Discus is brown to golden brown. Although there are nine transverse stripes over the length of their bodies, in some fish these are not easily seen. In others, however, they are very well defined. The head of the Brown Discus is particularly interesting, marked in intricate patterns of blue dots and lines. Black vertical lines, or stress bars, may appear over the bodies of Brown Discus when they are stressed or unhealthy. When breeding, glands in the skin of Brown Discus will usually secrete fluids for their young to feed from, in a biological process similar to that of a lactating mammal.
