    Hi guys,

    Are there just one specie of discus or more than one.

    If there are more than one can the species be mixed.

    Thanks

    There is only 1 genus, arguably 5 specie and a lot of types of discus. They don't like to mix but some hybridisation has happened in some aquariums in America.
