tHEcONCH Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Not a good companion for Discus, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitzy Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 i did have mine with kribensis and rams with no problems but now that they been moved in to a big tank they wont let me put any thing else in there, yet to try putting something in the middle like a log or something. Getting them at that age they will be fine, I am thinking of getting some more my self. While they are young they will be fine and if they grow up with them they will be fine too.

Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 either way leave the discus tank to focus on discus IMO maybe a school and some bottom dwellers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Yea, I already had planned what was going in the tank, but Thought they would be cool. And they are cheap You still going with discus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 may wait til i move flat and get a bigger tank build to fit the stand i have, cos then it be closer to 400L and more suited, so eventually i will. until then looking for something to put in it cos only cardinals and BN and few strays in there for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMAZONIAN Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi All. Apart from all the incessant chatter you are all a bit slow here guys. I would have thought that you would have asked your conference delegate if they could pick them up and take them back with them. After all the Conference is in Nelson , and I assume you are in a club; aren't you? :oops: But then I am a mean old coot and am always trying to save money or help out fellow hobbyists so what would I know?
