Discus W/Black Aro in 150 Tall

[95socalstang]

I am planning on putting adult discus in with my 17 Inch black aro. In the next year I will be upgrading tanks however how many adults should I put in the tank? The only other tankmates will be a clown knife and a fei feng. Currently I have 2 10 inch peacock bass in the tank however they will be gone before I get the discus.

Don't even think of mixing discus with fei fengs.

whats the problem with a fei feng? Do they do after the discus slime coat?

had a jardini and it didnt bother my discus but my discus sure didnt like it even being in the same tank. do it but be sure to watch for signs of stress on your discus.

the temperment of a jardini and a black cannot even be compared. Jardini are one of the most, if not the most aggressive aro. Blacks are from what I have seen the least aggressive aro. The tank is 30 inches high giving the discus plenty of room. I will also make sure to give them plenty of plants to hide when they feel like it.

wow.. does that mean there's a possibility that Jardinis could live with Disusses too? must re-evaluate tank =)
