Juvenile Discus
Hi all,
Just a quick question regarding a juvy i brought last week because i could not resist him. He is much smaller than my other discus and they picked on him and he hasn't eaten for a few days now, i was wondering if i let him grow out in a 120L tank should i get him a buddy discus that is also the same size as him? He is 4cm from mouth to base of tail.. I know they like their own company so i thought perhaps get another one the same size and let them grow out together. Dose this sound ok?
Also getting another one will complete my discus school of 5, i already have 3 others.
Any thoughts welcome

Small Discus do better in groups of 5 or 6. Please don't get more like this one. I mentioned before that this one is already stunted, so you have to be more careful choosing better fish.

Hi Sabrina;
I am growing 6 juvy in 200 l BB tank ,they are 5 months old and growing well apart from one who is a bit unsociable ,you always find one who always gives you hard time . i think he will be happier with the others as you said .
good luck

Being alone will make him sick I am sure, better with the others, but like Sayid says, there is always one who gets the rough end of the stick.

Hi guys!
Thank you for comments.. I put him in with the other 3 and besides a little bit of push and shove they are all getting along amazing! The little one (Dingo) is swimming around everywhere, he is much happier with the others!
I have another small Discus on hold at the pet store, should i get a photo of it and post here for you guys to see him before i buy him?

Yes, a few photos and I will say either good or bad if you would like my opinion.
What about quarantine ?
