    Moving Discus

    I currently have a discus tank with 2 discus in it which have been pretty hardy, I had lost 4 within 2 weeks of buying them and these two have survived that plus a move into a new house. What I want to do now, is move them in a guppy tank, do you think they will take to that or cause too much stress? I need the tank to make into a vivarium and dont want to give the fish away unless its 100% necessary. I realise I can probably lower the ph and up the temp in the guppy tank to make a happy medium for all fish living in the one tank. Any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated

    Um, they may not like it, but I have about 15 guppies in my discus tank (30c) & they're breeding. I'd stick them in & set it up for the discus specs. But then, I'm an amatuer.

    they will survive but look its not right to keep a fish in a temp. its not supposed to be in, when i remember right guppys are something like 22-25. it will shorten the lifespan extremely
