Megil TelZeke    Fish Addict Posts: 863 Kudos: 890 Votes: 393 Registered: 21-Jul-2003    | i need some fish the will keep my agressive discus busy so he isn't picking on ym other discus... any suggestions? i have seen that the angelfish in the tank seems to keep off some of the agression so would more angelfish help diffuse the discus's agression?  |

Cardinal tetras are my favorite and blue rams also look good with discus. The ram in my tank chases after everyone, but isn't really aggressive.

Is it possible I could get the rams that want? thanx, brac  |
