How you want to keep you discus is up to you but lets examine these posts:

In this post, you are asking for the taiwan reef.

Interesting that you list it here as your stock.

Peacocks: (Adult)

4” albino taiwan reef

4” yellow/ blue peacock
4” blue/orange

Discus:

5” Red dragon discus
5” Green Tefe
4.5” Cobalt
5” Blue Penang Eruption
3” Orange discus possibly mellon


Here you are thinking of adding a coal grunter and that you had 2 peacock.

We are on to you and back tracking all your posts cuz we have nothing else better to do with our time but unfold all your fallaciouness and discrepancies. you thought u were goin to fish heaven but i will take u somewhere far far away that you wont even see one more fish again:banher::chillpill::screwy:
 
Your discus look very nice:). The 5” Green Tefe looks a touch thin to me but they can be pretty tought to get to eat a lot.

I personally would not recommend the combo that you have becuase in reality it is not in the best interest of the peacocks or the discus to be together. I don't think either will reach full potential in this setup. Your fish look healthy though, so as long as you can make it work more power to you. With that said there is no doubt that the peacocks and the discus would be better off in different tanks.
 
i am looking to sell the discus and peacocks i need the money im going to try a whole new fish look looking for tiger shovelnose and a jardini got to be about 7-9" each cause i want to put my coal grunter in with them my co-worker put it up on classifieds so im hopeing to get someone to buy from me this post was more so just to see if anyone eles tried to put those 2 together like i did

No, I certainly don't have the answer to everything, but I have been an active hobbyist since 1969, so I've learned at least a few things over the years. Some lessons I learned the hard way. No matter what advice anyone gives you, you'll just argue and do what you want anyway, so what's the point? I've seen a hundred people with the same attitude toward fish keeping over the years. In fact, the number seems to increase every year. They either give up after a while, or eventually learn hard lessons and move on to become decent aquarists. Good luck to you.
