450L tank need help i am undecided

[andy1985]

HI
i have 1 5ft bowfront 450L tank.
Currently have lemon & Columbia tertas. i was think of making it a Discus tank & have the tertras as the shoaling fish. i am not sure if i want discus but was wondering if there is another fish you could recomend instead of discus,

Kind Regards Andrew

I take it you would want something similar to Discus? Angel fish or Flag Cichlids?

Just something that wouldn't eat the tetras.

I think Flag cichlids (Festivum?) would be a great fit and not as fussy as discus. Stanzzzz7 keeps them

I did a video on London zoo, here you can see some in a blackwater tank

Festivum are great fish. Not to aggressive, do well in groups and are a pleasure to keep.

My festivum have not touched any of my tetras. I keep black neons, ornate and black phantom tetra.
I have heard reports of festivums eating tetra though so can't guarantee anything.
I started with full grown tetras and juvenile festivums. I think that helps.
