any other discus tankmates?

[goldenpigeon]

i am having a bit of trouble with finding new tankmates for my discus community tank. i currently have bristlenoses, rummy nose, rams, hocky sticks, whip tails, cory's, phantoms, and maybe a couple more that i have forgoten about.

this may sound like allot but i have a 6ft by 2ft by 2ft and only have a few of each species.

i am very interested in rare fish that go with discus if any1 knows any good ones. :D

thx

Hi David, and welcome to the forum. Browse thru some of the post here from Kevkoi at SLS. He often has rare and unusual discus tankmates.

How bout a Potamotrygon reticulatus with your discus...

Both dinner plates... just one lies on the ground, the other swims around. :lol:

How 'bout some nice corydoras or some rare pleco type catfish?

:wink: How rare and exotic do you want to get?

Send Kev a PM via this forum, and he will tell you what fish they have in stock at SLS Aquarium. They can ship fish to all over Australia without any problems.
