Disk Tetra Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Disk Tetra in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: herbivore
• Minimum tank size: 300 gallons (1135 liters)
• Compatibility: Generally peaceful with similarly sized, non-aggressive fish. Avoid keeping with very small fish that could be mistaken for food or overly aggressive species. Best kept in groups of 5 or more.
• Special requirements: Requires a very large aquarium with ample swimming space. A diet rich in plant matter (spirulina flakes, blanched vegetables, fruits) is crucial. Good filtration and regular large water changes are essential due to their size and diet. Provide driftwood and large, smooth rocks for enrichment, but avoid sharp decorations. Substrate can be sand or fine gravel.
