How many would you keep in a 55 by them selves? I myself have been having the dream of owning a few.

Only discus? Four or five should be okay, but just remember that water quality goes down the more fish you have.

it depends on many things like how often u change your water and their size...if keeping young discus (5-6cm)and grow them, you can even start off with like 15 if you wanted to, maybe u need 3 times water changes per week in this case. As their size grows bigger the number u should keep decreases....the exact number u can keep will be indicated by yout nitrate level
