Fish Comparison Center
Compare Discus, Angelfish, Severums and Uaru before choosing the centerpiece fish for your aquarium.
Discus
Warm-water social cichlids prized for color and shape. Best for keepers prepared for stable conditions, group dynamics and consistent maintenance.
Angelfish
Tall-bodied cichlids that can suit many community setups, but adults can become territorial—especially when pairing.
Severums
Larger, robust cichlids with substantial adult size and personality. Need space and can damage or eat some plants.
Uaru
Large social South American cichlids with strong appetites and significant waste output. Space, filtration and plant choices matter greatly.
