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.
