hi everyone i am new to the world of discus,
my husband breeds L number catfish and he has given me a spare tank to use for a display tank but he wants to put a few of his fry in it and i have to "work around him" lol.
anyway the tank is a 4x2x2, it has an otto canister filter and an internal as well. at the moment it has a black substrate and a few large pieces of driftwood and lots of those bristlenose logs.
he has 6 L201 6 L333 and 9 L134 in there ranging from 3cm to 8cm.
he said that he will be moving the L134 from the tank to a breeding tank when i decide what i want to do.
anyway so would these fish go well with discus at all?
would the discus attack or annoy the catfish at all?
oh and i am about to research discus foods but the L numbers are getting fed sera viformo, hikari carnivour pellets and wardleys algae wafers. do discus eat these foods or are they more vegie eaters?
if they would go well, how many discus could i put in the tank to growout? i would want to purchase little ones to watch them grow.
any help would be really appreciated. thanks.
