Discus fish and cardianl tetras

[wertyu5555]

Can discus fish, and angelfish coexist with cardinal tetras?

Angel can't go with Neon Tetra, when the angels grow large enough they will eat the neons or if the neons are small enough. I'm not too sure about discus and neons but I'm pretty sure they will be fine togther. It's either no neons or no angels if you want to get these fish.

The simple answer for me is yes as i have this situation right now in a 75 gal tank with 2 discus, 2 angels and 15 cardinals. The tank was set up with all fish added very closely together and has been going for about 2 years. Cardinals get bigger than neons so the food thing is not as much an issue but i have seen the bigger fish from time to time take a snap at one of them. HTH

EDIT: i would think the harder part of this would be getting the discus to accept the company as they are pretty particular about who they share the tank with as they are really shy fish.

Get the angels when they are small. From what I've heard/read its easier if they grow up with the cardinals as tank mates.

I know many people who keep cardinals with discus. But I don't know anyone who's tried the triple combo.
