If you get rid of the parrots and redtail shovelnoses, you may be allright. I'm afraid you have alot of research to do, that you should have done already before purchasing this ridiculous assemblage of fish. No offense, I had my share of mistakes in infancy.
ok thx and the there all small now and im going to move up and get a 150gal too the discuse get big too so i will not have to worry about them i no that the redtails im not keep once they get 1 foot maybe 2 foot
welcome to the fun world of discus! I got my first two smaller than 2.5 in in diameter. A little under a year later and my big boy kaji is over 8 in in diameter. we now have 5 discus, 2 mating pairs (much to my dismay) and a single female (her partner just passed away). They follow me around the living room like dogs and beg for food. Keep your tank clean and your parameters stable and they will be very sweet fish.
Well i did have a MBU Puffer and a zebra shovelnose but i got rid of cause i didnt like the way they swim
Your flowerhorn parrots will kill your discus. And BGK are pretty big fish they can easily reach more than 20 inch long easily. Then flowerhorn parrots will kill each other if they are both males.
Your pleco and discus are fine in that tank.
