Can I mix my 5 2.5inch bichirs with my 4 2inch discus,4 2.5inch clown loach and a few tetras peacefully?
thank you in advance!
 
For alittle bit probably depending on species but, long term I don't see it working.
 
tetras will probably end up getting eaten and because of clown loaches growth rate they might end up getting eaten to. I've heard successful stories about people keeping discus and polys together but i'm not sure about the growth rate of discus. What species of polys are we talking about? Info i just gave really depends on the species
 
Discus will be fine. Depending on how big the bichir and clown loaches are they should be fine as long as there is not a huge difference in size. The tetras are actually discus natural food in the wild so they mighr get eaten, and bichir might actually pick them off slowly as well.
 
^ like Dr.B had said though it depends on specie, if delhezi, Senegal, mokelembembe, or one of the palmas complex the discus combo will work. Tetras will be eaten either way though. If they're lower jaw, ornate, teugelsi they'll probably be able to eat the discus eventually

^ no I meant any lower jaw and ornate and teugelsi. Don't underestimate the size of a full grown WC ornate or teugs mouth lol. I think there is a video on YouTube of an ornate trying to eat a discus
