about blue discus family fishes and wallpapers

This group of fishes got its name due to the disc-shaped body. Discuses are rather peaceful fishes, a little bit passive, fearful, and very sensitive to any change in the medium that may be fatal for them. They can be found in relatively deep stony back-waters and rivers; they usually hide in lees or among roots. It is a schooling fish but during spawning it shows the territorial behavior. It feeds on insect larvae, plankton invertebrata. During their first days of life the hutchlings feed on epithelial secretion of their parents that is exuded from the fish side, later on they feed on small animal plankton. The male usually takes care of the breed. Sometimes the pair starts quarrelling for the right to take care of the hutchlings.

These fishes are one of the most popular aquarium fishes known in Russia since 1957. As a result of the aimed selection work there were grown different colour variations that did not exist in the nature.
