discus

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I plan to have them long term, just did'nt want to buy too many. I realize they grow to about 8". Wanted to add some smaller fish as well which would be compatable

I'd get 8 discus, 5 roseline sharks, and a couple of fancy plecos.
 
it's usually about 1 per 10 gals. fish that small should be raised in a much smaller tank until they reach about 3". you need to feed small juvies 5 or 6 times a day and do at least 50% wc's every other day. I have 8 adult wilds in a 120 gal. but there are also other fish.
 
^ wait why are you giving him the wrong info ? hes not even talking about few weeks old? hes talking about half dolar size..
do not feed your dizcus 6 times a day lol your gonna kill and amonia spike... plus water change everyday nvr!!!!! if your trying to get in to discus its very difficult very!!! you can kill them with just a water change (note) ~~> need buffer for water to much will shock fish or death, to little your guys will stress and can die.


you need to do more research b4 you get in this hobbby of discus.. plus where is your tap water comming from? is it from the well or str8 from the city cus ph reading are very off..
unless your getting it from a local breather thats been using tap water where the discus be used to high ph?
