![]() My suggestion is this: If you start with young fish, start with a bare bottemed tank so you can keep up with your water changes and keep top quality water (BB = see the poo = vacum it up = easy) so they can grow big and healthy. I do weekly water changes.Ĭontrary to popular belief, discus do not require planted tanks, however most of us would agree they look better in them. I was scared to death when i bought my first discus, however with a little TLC mine have turned out pretty good, and i've had a good experience. With a little TLC you will find them to be "easy" to keep, i know i have. No they arn't as fragile as people make them out to be but you do need to stay tight on the matenience.

What other fish are you looking to put with discus? 10gal per fish should be considered, so in a 45gal i would put 5 fish. They like to be in groups, unless of course they are a mated pair. A fine, healthy specimen can reach anywhere from 6-8".Īs for stocking, a 45gal would be fine.but i'd advise against a single discus. I've seen mine bump and nudge each other but thats as aggressive as i've seen. But yes, they can be kept with quite a few community fish. Well, i better say that better.i'd build the community around the discus instead of adding a discus to a community.personally. ![]() You keep wanting more and more.Īnyway, to answer your questions, I personally don't like them as "community" fish. I have 3 currently and crave more, its a craving if you keep them right and you get healthy fish. Glad to see your interest in discus, as they are one of my favorites. Its a good place to start and keep around. You should take a look at our Discus Profile in our profile section. (Firstly i apologize if this turns into a long post, it only resembles how much i love Discus)
