I really want to hear your guys opinions! preferably from people that had both together , i've learned that in the hobby most people say whatever it says on the internet but i want personal experiences! for example bichirs with oscars is a loved combo but for me i didnt like it one bit! the oscars would constantly take food right of the bichirs mouths and overall was way to active for my liking really felt like they stressed out my bichirs! .

I have 2 endlicheris currently in a 100g plan was/ is to keep only those 2 in there , they're currently about 5 inches but barely half a inch wide/tall so they're really small :) , was thinking of adding 1-2 disucss in there. Now i've never had discus before but from what i've seen discus are pretty chill and almost ''boring'' active wise which i like since they're going with lower jaw bichirs which if you ask me are also kinda ''boring'' , and since the discus are so tall i doubt they will go after eachother?

I have a few 1-2ftr endli and ornates with 2-3 inch discus with no issue. It was a bit scary adding the discus as the bichirs are big, but they ignored them. Also have heckeliis and kissing gurami there with no prob. They seem to mind their own business. No food competetion as well. View attachment 1506961
