I want to add a small school to my Discus tank. It is a tall 110. I was thinking of adding a small school of a small loach or somthing. Got any suggestions?
 
small clown loaches or rummy nose are always nice....
 
Rummy nose, larger tetras. I've got a half dozen Black Skirts in with mine with no problems at all.
more color? Cardinal tetras, etc.
Just beware that the higher water temps can take a toll.

The only loaches I'd add are Yasuhikotakia sidthimunki, Botia kubotai, Botia histrionica or Botia striata. Better options are the loricariids of the genus, Rineloricarias.
 
If it not overstocked, just add more Discus. I have a "school" of younger Discus in my 125, it's interesting to watch them. I've found they behave differently than they do in smaller numbers.
 
I like the Botia striata, they are just hard to find around here. I guess I will have to special order them.
 
I would like to add some more Discus. I just want to wait to buy the ones I want. I only get mine from breeders and I want some from another guy on here. The only problem is he lives so far away. I'm waiting till I have a business trip over his way.
 
Hey Zig, I've got 10 Clown Loaches in my 135 Discus tank....The largest is about 7" (Two at that size)....As long as you have good, healthy discus, you shouldn't have a problem with adding CLs...
 
I just saw some Zebra Loaches that look really neat. I'm thinking about getting some of those.
