Hi, i have a 6×2×2 tank with 3 discus. Do you guys think if it will work with a flagtail prochilodus? Thanks

Flagtail can be quite jumpy and spook easily. Thinking that could possibly stress out the discus. Flagtails have also been known to go after the slime coat of slower moving fish.

I don't think it would be a good idea. My flagtail tends to be aggressive towards other tankmates especially one particular rotkiel sev.

It could work but just get ready to remove it if need be.

Thanks for the inputs. I decided not to get the flagtail. Any other larger fish that can fit with discus. How about a datnoid?
