Well angels+cardinals/neons= Most discus tanks have usually discus and not much else, but if they're compatible with angels, go for it. I'd do some more research on that first though. I would add maybe a small shoal of rare cories, or even pandas, but nothing else. Keep water quality up and you should do okay, temperature should be around 82F.

resle Enthusiast Posts: 273 Kudos: 112 Votes: 14 Registered: 09-Oct-2004	well most everyone i asked said that cardinals would be fine with angels as long as the cards are full grown and the angels are small so they get used to being around them instead of eating them and most people said i could keep angels with discus. some said the only way i could do that was to get angfels that werent wild caught others said it didnt matter :%):%):%):%):%):%):%):%):%) Last edited by resle at 17-Oct-2004 11:05

solublefish Fish Addict Posts: 562 Kudos: 850 Votes: 40 Registered: 27-Feb-2004	You are going to hear differing opinions on keeping angelfish and discus together. It could work if you find a really peaceful angel. However, if it were my tank, I wouldn't risk it because discus can be quite expensive. As ferret said, discus would prefer a tank that is 82 degrees. The water should be around 1-3 dGH and a bit acidic. Another fish that would appreciate that type of water would be blue rams. They are beautiful and peaceful. I would be a bit wary of putting cories in such a tank because they like their water a bit cooler (around the mid to upper 70s).

terranova Fish Master Posts: 1984 Kudos: 1889 Votes: 229 Registered: 09-Jul-2003	I considered that too Soluble...but we have a 130gallon show quality discus tank that we kept larger/rarer cories in, and everyone existed peacefully. We had to take them out because the Motoro Rays kept sucking on them. The angel/cardinal thing you said might work...but I have to agree with soluble in that it might not be worth the risk to keep the angels w/ the discus...even the cheapest ones are expensive. EDIT: We=work Last edited by FerretFanatic at 17-Oct-2004 11:43 -Formerly known as the Ferretfish
