angels and discus in one tank?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The biggest problem in keeping angels and discus together is with feeding. Angel are aggressive feeders they will eat as much as they can as quick as they can. With discus they can be very picky, they would much rather feed mid water or graze from the bottom. Worst thing that can happen is the discus become stressed during feeding time, then they will not eat at all.

Some discus will become aggressive feeders though, mine are pigs and compete with one another for food. If you should decide in giving the combo a try, I would go with adult discus, they are more stable then juvinilles.

I won't say that it won't work btu the odds are that you will have trouble.
 
yeah i may just have to stay with one tank for each but now i am thinking about discus. any idea about sizes or tanks for angels and discus. i keep my angel in a 30 with about 12 zebra danios
