adding new discus... ?

[Stuquarium]

hi guys
i have had my discus tank running nearly 3 months now, i;ve had 2 blue diamond discus in the tank for a month and i've just added a blue turq juve discus.

my girlfriend wants to buy me a coulple more discus for my birthday.

but is it ok to add another pair so soon?

it will bring the total to 5 in my 55g tank..

If im not mistaken that should be about the maximum amount. I believe 5 - 6 in a 55g is plenty.

yup that the idea i do 30% water changes every 3 days
and a gravel vac once every 2 weeks
so that should be fine yer?

Hi

Personally I would not add them in straight away until they are quarantined to make sure every thing clean.
