@playboxfan When we buy discus fish we should buy them in a whole group.If you try to introduce to older discus new ones in particular if there is a pair ,it is very likely to have fights.New and small discus may be chased to death.Breeding them it is really difficult and in most cases they eat their own eggs.

very nice and colorful discus you got there, check my aquariumk and give me your opinion on it , id appreciate it.

thanks and good luck.

@playboxfan It is very nice but it needs some time to settle because it is brand new.Pay attention to your discus behaviour if they are uneasy it is very possible that your black knife fish or the clown disturb them during the night and frighten them.Wait for some days and you will see.Remember that discus are very delicate fish and they want a quiet life...

Beautiful and great job. I'd love to get some discus, however, I need to get a new setup. I'm afraid CJ, my four inch red devil would'nt take to kindly to something so beautiful.

@ILLGRIPSKI Thank you.Yes discus fish are compatible only with easy going fish,even fast swimmers can stress them a lot.Of the best companions are cardinal tetras and corydoras catfish.Mind you if you need algae cleaners choose plecos of the ancictrus family.The others can suck your discus during the night as they get older and drive them mad soon...

and by the way , the tank is not newly setup , its only the design i just made it, the tank has been here for like 5-6 months now containing only the red melon pair and i used it at first as a breeding tank but with no success at spawning even tho i witnessed the pair cleaning the tube , recently i had the pair constantly fighting the snow white and blue diamond as they were newly added to the tank and that caused the new discus not to eat and very shy and cornered

@Lassiegreece thanks for the advise , i removed the black knife and the yellow gourami as they are fast swimmers and they do disturb the discus as i observed them following your advise , ill post an update of my aquarium in the near future just waiting for the new discus to finish quarantine time, thanks again lassie.
