Discus & Ropefish?

[Eoibio]

Im clearing my tank out of all my rainbowfish and my zebra danios and my fish that wont go well with discus. I was wondering if rope/reed/eelfish would work with discus..I am also keeping my hoplosternum thoracatum in there. Will there be any problems? The temp will be at 28 degrees celsius.

Also the dimensons of the tank are 120 (L) cm x 50 (H) cm x 40 (W) cm

Any other fish that you might now think would live with discus? I was thinking maybe channa guacha..Would they be to agressive?

in my opinion I would keep the discus alone in a only discus tank but that is just me.

No..Im looking to get them some unusual tankmates..

ropefish should be fine with the discus

have you had discus before, I'm just giving you a few heads up. if you want some tank mates, Kory catfish but that's about it. do you plan on getting small or big discus, please do your research! and I hope you get 5-6 at minuium.

Yeah I have corys. Im not getting anymore fish apart from discus and maybe a few more cories. I have got 3, 2 acclimating as I type, at the minuite but I am definatly building up my shoal and hopefully breeding them.

I keep 2 discus with 2 senegal bichirs, 1 ornate, 1 klown knife, 1 ghost knife, 3 ancistrus, and the discus are doing just great.

A few days ago I got 4 Erpetoichthys calabricus aka ropefish and 2 endlicheri and 2 congicus in my quarantine tank. I intend to mix them all up, and I belive there won't be any problems, as there were none so far.

By the way,for how long should I quarantine my new Polypteridae?
