Suckermouth catfish & Discus ?

[Scat]

Hi,

Ive been told that now ive put some discus into my 7ft catfish tank that i will have to get rid of all the suckermouth cats i have in that tank atm.

These are peppermint bristlenose,longfin albino bristlenose,Royal whiptails and Red whiptails.

Ive read that larger pleco can be a problem when it come to sucking onto the discus`s slime coating but have seen conflicting opinions about other suckermouth cats.

Would like to hear of other peoples experiences :D

Cheers
Craig

All those fish will be fine with discus, keep an eye on your whiptails, thw discus like to pick at the whips.

as far as i know your suckers will pose no threat.

it's the yellow/ golden suckers that can do some damage...

Absolutely agree.

The larger catfish (plecos etc) will be a problem, but the catties you have won't bother your discus at all.

Thanks for your input everyone :D

Was a bit worried from hearing a few stories from some people within our cichlid society over here and didnt fancy kicking all my peppy`s and other tankmates out as they have only just begun to breed this year !

Cheers :D
