Mini Discus

Well ok, but I'm guessing anyone in the trade has plenty of connections to move fish on, let alone discus.

Do i have to write a book on what happend. The discus i bought were the last ones there, he had sold all of his breedng pairs and other juvies etc.Obviously he would not of sold them to a 12 year old with a 45 gallon tank unless he needed to get rid fo them quickly.

man this is getting confusing thanks for supporting me guys
okay i will write my main questions since i have had different answers. here they are
can i keep plecos with discus (a leopard frog pleco, king tiger pleco, and candy striped pleco?)
can i have the two discus with two rams or is this a no no?lol
should i use RO water (i think i should) but i dont know where to get it from.
these are my main questions. i am getting a new test kit since im not going to rely on an old one for discus. i have soft water with no chlorine (lucky me). i am really appreciating this guys and i am doing lots of research on the internet, at least one hour a day

I would keep placid pleco''s with discus. Could be risky. Could be great.

Any of the Plecos you mentioned should be fine with your Discus. If Discus are kept at a lower PH then that's a bonus as Plecos prefer it.

 

[Mystix212]

Do discus like salt? Cause plecs dont?

 

[stang1]

No idea whether Discus like salt, I'm afraid.

 

[Mystix212]

I would keep it below 1 teaspoon per gallon.

 

[DiscusAngel]

why salt? theres no need for salt. because discus hate salt. and plecs hate it to. so why salt?

 

[Mystix212]

I supose theres no need. Plants hate salt aswell. Win-Win

 

[DiscusAngel]

I supose theres no need. Plants hate salt aswell. Win-Win

neway....

id check and see what your PH is now cos that mite be fine.


changing the PH means adding chemicals and thats never really a good thing. plus when you do a water change you have to add the right amount of chemical back in to get it to the right level and this can cause PH swings which u dont want.
