Catfish with discus

[Nicolascrnelson]

Do you think i could put pictus catfish with my discus???? And what kind do you have with yours??? Post pics BYe

yes that would work. anything that stays small and isnt going to bother them since they are very shy fish.

I don't think that a pictus will bother discus, but be prepared for a manic fish.

We had one in our discus tank till we lost it to a heater malfunction.
My 17 yr old took one look at it when we got it and nicknamed it crackhead.

if you have adults I'd say yes.. if you have juvies I say no. Pictuses are too active.

Yup....It all boils down to your discus. Most of the people on these forums are smart enough to purchase good, healthy discus from private breeders. If you have a healthy, outgoing discus, you aren't going to have any problems. I had a Synodontis Eupturus with mine (Until it reached about 7"). I decided to remove the cat, just because I was uncomfortable with it....I don't think the discus minded it.

I've seen Plecos sucking on Discus slime so be careful about the size, I got me a small one and he's doing fine with my Discus.
