Tips on Sexing Discus Fish
Do you have some adult discus fish and want to know whether they are male or female. In this article I’m going to share with you some of the tips and techniques you can use to determine the gender of your discus or those you wish to buy.

I hope these three tips have helped you to sex your discus and will help you when selecting adult discus fish from a shop or dealer.
