Can anyone tell me what blue arches are?? My friend has two that she needs to re home as her oscars are making them miserable. I have recently upgraded to a 450 litre and certainly have the room to house them, but I want to make sure they will be ok with my discus :wink:

Also what is a good discus tankmate that lives in the top region of the tank? My cardinals, rummys, Kuhlis and corys occupy the bottom-low region but I would love something that stays in the mid-top region of the tank.. thanks :)

Funny thing is I can not find them on the net either :lol: Think the aquarium who sold them to her were making up their own species! I have seen a photo of them and they look very much like a blue ram?!

Do you mean this fish? http://badmanstropicalfish.com/profiles/profile50.html


If so, here is 2 interesting threads from another forum, discussing one hobbyist's experience with them
