Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	Hey, Thanks for the replies. The cories sterbai and adolfi can handle water up tu 19-26C,i think i will not buy them. The temprature that i need is 28C-30C/82,4F-86F because i will buy some discus. You think clown loaches will be ok...they can handle 25C-29C.. Plecos i think i will not have since they will not be ok with discus,except if there are some plecos that are small and can handle 86F?

ACIDRAIN Moderator Posts: 3162 Kudos: 1381 Votes: 416 Registered: 14-Jan-2002	If you can find them, try some Ancistrus sp. "Pucallpa". These guys actually come from waters with that temp range. They are great for use in Discus tanks. You may have to find a breeder to get them. They are a smaller type bushynose pleco. I have a breeding pair, but have not set them up for breeding in a while, and have no fry. _____________________________________________________________ There is always a bigger fish...

Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	I know...i have a common pleco...but they are not really good with discus. I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

Cup_of_Lifenoodles Fish Guru Posts: 2755 Kudos: 1957 Votes: 30 Registered: 09-Sep-2004	Most ancistrus species will readily adapt to 30C, even the presumed colderwater Colombian species (which is baloney). Furthermore, Rio Negro and Orinoco corydoras such as c. adolfoi/dupli. are found side by side with discus in their natural environments. They will fare fine in the temperatures you quote, though, from what I hear, lower levels are preferred to initiate breeding.

Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	At work we have a Discus tank with clown loaches and i think it is a Rubber Nose pleco with them. I have only seen the pleco a couple of times. I didn't even know that it was in there. 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric

Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	So 2 clown loaches will be ok with the discus in my 75g tank? I know the clown loaches get big,but iam soon buying a 125g+ tank later. The clown loaches grow slowly isn't it.. Robby I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.
