I jus recently moved my two Pacus to the outside pond, Now my tank is empty. I was thinking of adding 12 discus and some cardinals. What do you suggest i put in my tank?

that would be awesome to see discus that many...
and if ever u decide to get a schooling fish..go with a bigger variety so that u can see them swim.

I like the idea of cardinals since they are very colourful. A large school of cardinals with the discus would look awesome. I've seen it at my lfs before and they look great togther .

Wow that's huge. You can also try emperor tetras with your discus.

Arowana, Oscars, Common pleco, Sailfin pleco - with that much tank room make it useful for a monster!

I think you should just send the tank to me.

I would put all my fish in it and have no furniture in the living room. dream dream dream.


I actually also like the idea od the discus, if you are going to mean and not send it to me!

If you want discus and tetras, make it a South American tank. I wouldn't mix clown loaches and stuff in there, but that's just me. Clown loaches get so big and are so active, they'd draw attention away from the discus. Do something like:

12 discus (I like the more natural colors myself)
50 rummynose tetras (fantastic schoolers with great color)
25 cories ( whatever type or types you like)
6 blue rams
8 assorted varieties of apistogramma (whichever you like and are readily available)
6 bristlenose plecos



They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes,
They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver,
So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.
