With all the fish you have in there, Poklei, he will suffer for a long time before he does die. Hillbilly may be willing to take it from you as he has plenty of accommodations for any discus. This is about the best you can do for your fish. PM him to make arrangements for your fish.

what will he suffer from exactly???

what will he suffer from exactly???

As I said, stunting can increase its susceptibility to health issues so unless the issues are addressed, then it definitely becomes more prone to health issues.

 

[Poklei]

okay, i think imma get 2 more discus, is that better than 1, also im gonna remove all the guppies and convicts i have to make more space in my 55 gallon, i will post up pictures when i get the other 2

and get rid of the sharks as well, Too aggressive as a tankmate for discus

 

[Poklei]

rainbow shark or columbian shark?

 

[HarlanAshmore]

columbian sharks get too big for a 55 all i would have in there are the discus and smaller tetra like fish

rainbow shark or columbian shark?

Both. Coluimbian sharks require brackish water once they hit about 5-6" and rainbow sharks are to aggressive for discus. You should buy 4 more, not 2. Always have a group of 5 discus to spread aggression.
