Hey there,

I am just wondering if anyone could help with a query I have.

I have been offered a three year old Plec, As the owners tank is way too small for him. They wondered whether he would get along with with my Discus's. I currently have three 1yr old Discus.

Any Idea's?

Thanks so much for your help, I truly appreciate it

Regards

Monique

Hiya Monique. Good to hear you have been managing to acquire more fish

I don't think I would put a plec with discus. You need at least a 4ft tank for a plec and your tank isn't that big is it? Plecs are also good at destroying nicely planted landscapes whichi I am sure you will have with your discus.

hi there and I will share my experience. I had a plec which grew and grew. Then I got some discus which were just awesome. One day I walked into the room and the plec was hanging off one of my discus.............sucking the slime. So the plec was given away to a good home..... I would definitely NOT put a plec or chinese loach in with discus or angels.

Beautiful though the plecs are, they are not good companions for discus.

I'm still of the opinion that any fish slow enough or stupid enough to let a pleco suck on it deserves to be plecofood.
