Posted	fire mouths with discus
03-04-2006 03:08 by mannings	i have 3 discus about 4" or a bit bigger and a pair of fire mouths they r about 1-2" will they be ok all the time or will i need to mive the fire mouths at a later stage and also i have a pair of keyhole cichlids with them will they be ok together?

One is aggression, even small firemouths about 2" can be agressive, so depending on the size of tank, you will not have long. Small discuss can be spooked fairly easily. More importantley, firemouths require fairly hard and alakaline water pH 7.5 and above. While Dicuss require soft and acidic water ideally. So i would get rid of the firemouths if I were you.

04-04-2006 17:29 by mannings	hi the fire mouths have been in the tank for 2 weeks and have been fine i was hopeing to grow them up a little then put them with my oscars. does anyone know where i can get some female keyholes from i have 2 males and all the local shops only seem to be selling the males
05-04-2006 10:13 by Stephanie	The firemouths must be very small then and I didnt doubt that the firemouths would be fine with discus, but as they grow you will run into trouble, its the Discus I worry about.
06-04-2006 18:22 by mannings	hi stephanie the firemouths will soon be put with my oscars the only thing is that they like to chase the keyholes and rams. but not aggressively
