What is Discus Fish?

What actually a Discus Fish is? Have you seen it before? Do you know what the species are or where its origin?

According to article from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discus_(fish). Discuss (Symphysodon spp.) are a genus of three species of cichild freshwater fishes native to the Amazon River basin.

Discus belong to the genus Symphysodon, which currently includes three species: : The common discus (Symphysodon aequifasciatus), the Heckel discus (Symphysodon discus), and a new species which has been named Symphysodon tarzoo. However, a further investigation published in August 2007 suggested that the genus held the three species: S. aequifasciatus (the green discus), S. haraldi (the blue/brown/common discus) and S. discus (the Heckel discus).


There are few types of Discus fish called locally as Blue Diamond, Red Leopard, Red Ribbon, Snakeskin, Yellow, etc.
