Faran Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 After setting up the tank and getting some neighbourly love going, we've decided to do a Discus tank after all. Not sure what is going to be compatible or not at the moment, but it seems we may have to part with a few of the newest additions. The last thing I need is the baby discus we get from New Zealand Discus being hurt by a crowd of boisterous Congos or nipped by the ctenopoma. So, if you all have any advice, this is the time we need it. This is what we have in the tank and what we're planning on having. Possible conflicts? Let us know! 1x 15cm Leopard Ctenopoma 1x 10cm Sydontis "Network" catfish 6x 6-8cm Congo Tetras 2x 2-3cm Kribensis Planned: 6x Discus from New Zealand Discus 4x Golden Black-eyed B/N from Snowman For instance, I once saw a B/N try and "clean" a Discus, which wasn't pretty. Does this happen often? Do you think we should just chuck (sell) all our current fish and do the Discus tank? FYI, this is a 180ltr 3ft beveled tank.

Caryl Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 I would get a second tank for the discus and keep them away from all the other fish you have. 6 discus will outgrow a 180L tank on their own. "Sucker" type fish are well known to find the large sides of fish like discus irresistible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
