your tank will be 439L and i go by the 40L per adult discus rule so thatd be 10-11 adults... thats just the way i work out my stocking though, others may have other ways :D

You could have up to 12 but I'd recommend getting 9. Better to be a little conservative. Also leaves you with a bit of extra space for some tetras, rams, catfish etc.

Nine or ten is an ideal number Andy, in a tank that size.
