Lashawn Zabarkes: Discus Fish Compatibility

Floy Fague: Discus fish should be kept in a group of 6 not two i think you should take a look at this forum before you do anything else

Annabell Bevier: Hi there,No disuse and eel..So you want to know about discus first things first. You will need 6 in a group why you might ask is one they are very social fish second the are cichilds and tend to bully each other if less them that. So you will need a 60 gallon or bigger. But as you said you are getting a 125 gallon so that be perfect. In the mean time water temp should be between 82-90f. And if there 2.5 you will need to feed then 4-6 times a day and water changes everyday. They will be ok in the 30 gallon until u up grade. I hope things go well. Almost forgot since there so small you need a bare bottom tank. Also I have a 115 gallon with 10 discus..Want to know more go to simplydiscus in the fourmsLot of ppl to help and pros. Also sponsers withhold quality discus..! ..Show more

Judie Kise: I persoanlly wouldn't put discus with fire eels.Discus really need to be the apex of the tank. Also they need different water conditions. Discus need about 84 or 29 to keep them in peak condition. Also they require softer water.For your discus i'd go with water changes every other day of about 25%Good move on not breeding the bettas in a dorm really!In all honesty they aren't as hard to keep as you would think. Just no ammonia!Good luck...Show more

A lot (but not all) tetra species could work.I think your googling skills need work, discuss is among one of the best documented species out there.http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/discusfish/ or http://www.aquarticles.com/articles/breeding/Galla...for example.Discuss care is really all about 4 keywords- soft- warm - spacious- calmprovide those and y! ou stand a good chance of keeping these two for a decade at le! ast....Show more
