Adding new fish (Discus)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
They are new haha , My tank is only running since 3 weeks !!!! But my angel ate 2 of them .. they were already dead tho ... but I don't know they are not attacking eachother xD
 
Sounds like I'll change idea for the discus :P i might try one , one that isnt too expensive ! But my crayfish are always hiding in a cave under my wood .. they dont even eat the tettras .. I give them pallets ..
 
The crays will slowly eat whatever they can get their hands on all it takes is one days shortage of food and they start picking on your fish or eachother. I have cloning crays and can't keep them from eating eachother.
 
Heres my thoughts: You can mix angels and discus. But keep an eye on them!! With all those plants and driftwood, you should be fine. The only thing is...discus eat neon tetras. They don't eat cardinal tetras. Don't ask me how/why, I have no idea. The crabs will be fine in the tank with discus, but a word of caution is the crawfish. They pick on weaker fish...especially ones that have nipped fins or get hurt and lay at the bottom of the tank. The crawfish will eat those right up before you have any time to quarantine them. The best thing to do is add (3) discus a little bigger than the angels and you should be fine. As always, monitor them for a week or 2 to make sure they are adjusting well.
