Clown Loaches And Discus

[SPO-00L]

Hey all,

Well i have my main display tank set up and cycled down stairs, at the moment it has half a dozen tetra's in there and a couple of gourami's. I will be adding the stock from my 100 gallon tank upstairs in the next few weeks, which includes seven large clown loaches. I would love to add a few nice discus to the tank as well. So my question is, can loaches and discuss live in harmony in the same tank?

Cheers, Trent

not really, nocturnal fish tend to upset discus, & so will the gourami's

cheers mike, i guess i will stick to a large group of loaches in that case

don't clown loach and discus come from the same habitat in the wild?

 

[mike os]

to Anguilla82: what fish is that in your avatar? can't decide whether it looks more like a massive barbel or a reeeeeeeeeeeaally skinny common carp
