So_Very_Sneaky Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004	Beautiful Discus. Im sure he will be just fine with your fish you already have. My LFS has a Discus/Angels/Pleco/Rams Display tank of 55g in their store. It has at any time 6-10 Young (2 inch diameter) Discus, 6-10 Young Angels (same size) and assorted plecos of fancy varieties, as well as Gold, Blue, and Bolivian Ram breeder pairs. I think you will do just fine! I have heard discus are tricky, but not as tricky as people think. I wish you the best of luck with your discus!

Man, get the angel outta there if it is worrying the discus at all. That discus is stunning and deserves a peaceful life. A beautiful little guy. Hope you get a lot of enjoyment from eachother's company. All the best with your tanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~

CoryAddict Enthusiast Posts: 184 Kudos: 231 Votes: 6 Registered: 16-Dec-2004	The ram does not attack him that much. He just protects a piece of the tank. He settled down a bit and I think he likes the discus. I hope it works out. I love Buck

CoryAddict Enthusiast Posts: 184 Kudos: 231 Votes: 6 Registered: 16-Dec-2004	My angel breeder friend has kept discus and angels together for years and never found a problem. Im not having a problem either

Stormy Big Fish Posts: 357 Kudos: 606 Votes: 81 Registered: 13-Mar-2004	Very nice discus. I have always been a big fan of them. Unfortunately I hate to say it, but discus should never be kept with angelfish. To put it simply, angelfish carry cooties that will kill discus. Found this out because once upon a time I wanted to make a discus/angelfish tank.

CoryAddict Enthusiast Posts: 184 Kudos: 231 Votes: 6 Registered: 16-Dec-2004	Yeah. I think 30 min of acclimating was enough

Megil TelZeke Fish Addict Posts: 863 Kudos: 890 Votes: 393 Registered: 21-Jul-2003	nigh impossible to tell unless u watch it breed. anyways if u get him a partner make sure its another red turq or at least very similar in colouration. GL with ur fish it sounds like its acclimated quite well.

CoryAddict Enthusiast Posts: 184 Kudos: 231 Votes: 6 Registered: 16-Dec-2004	His name is Buck(if he is a guy). What kind of discus is he/she. Im so happy! http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/bigmart07/my_photos

CoryAddict Enthusiast Posts: 184 Kudos: 231 Votes: 6 Registered: 16-Dec-2004	Well. Im am getting him a friend. I wanted to see how my other fish react to him. He is about 1-2 inches. (ill get a correct measurment later) His tankmates are 55 gallon- 3 angels 2- pearl gouramis 1-ram 6-cories. I am really surprised. My ram is showing him around. And whenever i put food in my ram chases him to the top nd leaves him to eat. Them my discus follows him. its really kool. Thanks!

terranova Fish Master Posts: 1984 Kudos: 1889 Votes: 229 Registered: 09-Jul-2003	clickable version! EDIT: Now that I've gone back and clicked on my own link, I can comment. Very pretty fish, good luck with them, as discus are known to be picky and a challenge. Last edited by Ferretfish at 23-Jan-2005 23:05 -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

Megil TelZeke Fish Addict Posts: 863 Kudos: 890 Votes: 393 Registered: 21-Jul-2003	look like young red turqs to me. very nice fish ^ ^. nice that u have one but they prefer to be in pairs or in groups. solitary discus are alright though but they can get tempermental when other discus are added later on, other than that nice purchase. as for the sex its hard to say what it is. what size is it? around 2.5-3"?
