I had this dilema a little while ago when a free tank and everything needed for it landed in my lap, I chose an angel tank instead of a discus for 2 reasons, 1.Discus require lots of maintenance 2. DISCUS ARE EXSPENSIVE!!! I'm not really a fan of larch cichlids because I haven't found the right kind of large aggressive cichlid for me. Im more of a big bad and toothy fish kind of girl ;D
