Aquarium Advice FINatic
Hi, trooper is a cool name and a very nice fish. He is in fact a blue turquoise discus. Discus should be kept in groups (5 or more) so he would appreciate some friends. Just be aware that they can get very big as adults about 14" in diameter.
I don't know how big your tank is that he is in. Just something to think about.
When selecting discus friends for trooper try to find discus about the same size as him.
There is a pecking order with discus and any smaller ones may lose out on food. Also the reason for 5 or more is that it stops them being aggressive with each other as the more there are the more there focus is distracted from the fish they are chasing if you get what I mean.
