Tankmates & Setup Advice For Discus

[JamesTee]

Setting up a Discus tank. Is it better to just keep purely Discus or are there any suitable/desirable tankmates that would fit in well? Also what is the ideal setup for them ref substrate etc? Plants? Real or fake acceptable?

Cardinals are good in a tank with discus some corrys on the bottom to help find the uneaten food.Rummynose, harelquiens also are fine. I have sand in the bottom of my tank.

There have been plenty of good posts on Discus here, do a search for Discus on this forum James, then if you have any remaining questions post them up.

Personally I'd do a large shoal of cardinals, some higher temperature cories e.g. sterbai, a few BN plecs and maybe a few ABF.
