16-10-2006 20:07 by mannings	what r the best tankmates for discus i have a 4 foot tank with 1 5-6" discus, 2 2-3" pictus cats, 2 3" bristlenose cats, 6 harliquin tetras, 2 1" wild honey gouramies, 3 1" corydoras. what other fish would work in this setup?. i was thinking of a pair of angles some congo tetras another discus and a pair of rams. would this work?
16-10-2006 20:11 by tank busters	i thought angels carried some parasite that effected discus,but dont take my word on that
16-10-2006 20:14 by mannings	i have herd about this but i always see discus setups with angles as tankmates
16-10-2006 20:16 by tank busters	try it and see what happens maybe put some clown loach with em
16-10-2006 20:17 by mannings	i already have clown loach i forgot to say in the top bit i have 7 2" clown loach
16-10-2006 20:19 by mannings	not sure i want to risk the angles if they do carry parasites that my harm the discus
16-10-2006 20:19 by tank busters	how about bosemani rainbow fish sorry for *** spelling
16-10-2006 20:20 by mannings	yeah mite try some do they do well in soft water?
16-10-2006 20:21 by mannings	thanks for the suggestions
16-10-2006 21:16 by OLD MAN	RAMS ARE GOOD TANK MATES. YOYO LOACHES AND CLOWN LOACHES GO WELL CARDINAL TETRAS OR MOST TETRAS CORRYS.
16-10-2006 21:16 by OLD MAN	DO NOT PUT ANGEL FISH WITH THEM! NOT A GOOD IDEA AT ALL
16-10-2006 21:31 by robert.pope	i thought rainbows (bosemani rainbow fish) are hard water ? Cardinals and Rummynose tetras.....Rams would be very nice i love these little characters!
16-10-2006 22:39 by heros hero	Don't keep ya discus on its own fella,they are so much better with other discus for company. Angels are great tank mates for discus as they are dead confident and it seems to rub off on the discus. The thing about angels carrying a discus killing parasite only applies to wild caught fish and not many dealers have wild caught angels. Also try rams, rummynose,corys,hoplos,clowns and any of the apistos.Don't do featherfin or decorus synos, they bite the discus sides.
