discusnoob Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hi there everyone Im nathan and i have a 240 litre fresh water tank. I have 4 discus, 2 angels a large pleco a couple loaches and a few neons. Oh and a couple of borneo suckers Looking forward to interacting with others and getting helpful advice Im in the process if cycling a new tank. I gravel vac and water change every other day. I am lucky to have a rain water tank at home so my ph levels are soft and it is chemical free. I look forward to running two filters and two heaters in the new tank plus adding to my discus school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hi Nathan and welcome. I thought it was generally a no-no to put angels and discus together. Hopefully someone who has kept discus can confirm or deny this. You will certainly have trouble if the angels decide to breed! They will also out-compete the discus for food. Come to think of it, the angels will eventually eat the neons :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discusnoob Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Ie had no issues thus ar. In fact the discus often follow around the big gold angel. When they first were in the tank he taught them how to shake up freeze dried worms like a rabid dog with a chew toy. They follow his lead I wont be purchasing anymore angels. I do worry about their aggression levels however to date they are very placid. Else itll be angel on the menu for the black swan that hangs outside my kitchen window waiting for his daily bread And yes. I only got a few neon to cycle the tank ages ago. I had 6 now i have 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
