In the process of upgrading from 55G to 90G. The new tank dimension is 48"X18"X24". This is my current stocking list:

- 2 medium Red Turquoise (3~4")
- 1 German Blue
- 23 cardinals
- 10 rummy noses
- 7 serpaes
- 4 clown loaches
- 5 cories
- 1 pleco
- 1 male beta

I will be getting 5 to 6 more juvie discus (about 1") in about 3 weeks.

Can I add more fish? If so, what can I add? I wanted something bigger and peaceful. Can geos co-exist with discus? If not something bigger, what would be some of the cooler fish I can keep? Don't want angels. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I think that tank is about maxed out as it is, particularly if you get the extra Discus, bear in mind they will all grow. To stock the tank with much more would require water changes almost daily to keep the discus healthy.
I've been told Plecos and Discus can be a bad combination after a while as well, the Plecos may end up sucking the slime coat off the sides of the Discus, maybe that's not true ???....but I have a pair of YoYo Loaches that are a darn nuisance in that respect, and they are a lot smaller than the size a Pleco may achieve ???
