I have a 48 gallon tall tank. I don't have dimensions at the moment, but it's about 30"deep. I was looking for some opinions as to what to stock in it. I haven't had it set up in about a year, so I'm starting fresh. Any ideas or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
Do discus need a long tank to swim or is just a tall tank good enough? I haven't heard about the exodon, any info on them would be great.
 
You can prob do 3-4 discus...... exodons are a spiecies only tank and are like miny piranhas .... you can prob do 30 in there and they rarely exceed 4 inches in captivity but are known to hit 6 in the wild ..... wil need good filteration
 
Thanks for the info SandNukka15...Anyone else have any opinions? Also made a typo in first post, tank is roughly 30" tall.
 
exodon tank! +1
 
I decided to not go with the exodons. I couldn't find them anywhere in my area. So I decided to go with angel fish. Any good options for maybe a couple small bottom swimmers for this tank? Or should I keep it with just angels?
