Just ordered 10 Heckels

I can't imagine they will make it impossible to eat, I just wouldn't keep them together initially because discus, wild in particular can be picky. I'm worried that if they go on together that you will have a discus or two that never start eating, but I might be overly worried because of Ray experience. Something to consider would be attempting to feed something new to the discus, they might all be too large for this to work, but I feed the 1mm NLS to my smaller cichlids and it just floats down past the chocolates because they don't really register it as good and they much prefer cichlid gold. I've also noticed that the chocolates prefer to eat either food as big as possible or they prefer sinking pellets to floating pellets but I'm guessing it's the former more so than the latter. My floating pellets are a good bit smaller than the sinking ones, bother hikari gold.
180 gallons. I just moved them to my 225. I won't keep the chocolates with the. I did leave the aqueidens diadema though. I hope they work out.
Better safe than sorry brother. I think the scenario would be a bit different if you were introducing chocolates into the heckel tank as opposed to the reality of it now. I'm sure you could reintroduce them at some point if you wanted/needed to as well.
I re-did my scape in the 180. I removed the lace rock, thinned my fish down to just the pair of Tapajos pikes and the trio of aqueidens diadema. I removed half my pool filter sand and replaced it with a darker fine grain gravel. I then added a bunch of dwarf water lettuce. I'm Going To Add peat to my filter tomorrow.
Down the road, if my discus make it, I'm going to add some red back angels and a trio of a smaller earth eater.

Here is my hard scape redone. Added a lot of manzanita to mimic a root structure.
