Performance wise, a 1999 study of discus throwers found that for F5 to F8 discus throwers, the upper arm tends to be near horizontal at the moment of release of the discus. F5 and F8 discus throwers have less average angular forearm speed than F2 and F4 throwers. F2 and F4 speed is caused by use of the elbow flexion to compensate for the shoulder flexion advantage of F5 to F8 throwers.Chow, J. W., & Mindock, L. A. (1999).

For F2, F3 and F4 discus throwers, the discus tends to be below shoulder height and the forearm level is generally above elbow height at the moment of release of the discus.

Recent research have shown that, through this unique parental care behaviour (Discus parents feeding their progeny with skin mucus), Discus fish parents transmit key microorganisms to their fry. This parent-to-offspring transmission of important microorganisms might explain the high survival rate of discus fry raised with their parents, compared to the low survival rate of progenies raised artificially by Discus fish breeders (e.g. on egg yolk, brine shrimp or other replacement foods). Symphysodon primarily feed on algae, other plant material and detritus (periphyton), but also eat small invertebrates.
