Hi all, Im currently looking for some advice re which type of sucking fish will go well with Discus.
I have quite a large discus and 1 small discus, previously had to get rid of my chocolate albino plec due to it giving my discus a bit of abuse.
I currently have a Chinese sucking loach which is only a few inch long but recently noticed that is starting to bother the discus too. (Presume its trying to eat the mucus on the discus' fins). It hasnt done any damage to the discus but it cant be any good for it long term.
I could do with some kind of algae eating fish so that my tank is kept algae free as I have quite a large tank.
Obviously I don't want to have to sell my discus as they are the best fish in the tank, however they hide quite a bit in the day presume due to this other fish bullying it a bit.
It will be a few days till I get the chance to exchange the algae loach but would like an alternative that will not give the discus any hassle.
