    Tank Mates

    Hi All.

    I have seen pictures of Discus and Angels sharing a tank, my question is more about Apple Snails and Bristlenose Ancistrus. Any thoughts and/ comments.

    Thanks

    Bristlenose and Peppermints are fine but only keep one or two as they produce a lot of waste.
    Apple snails are not ideal. They need hard water to maintain their shells. When I tried it my discus did pick on them. More importantly, I would keep snails out of the discus tank for potential disease reasons, as well as the ability to medicate without invertebrates in the tank. Many medications are toxic to snails.

    I agree with the medicating issue with the snails. I am trying to find research of the snail being a carrier of disease. I will post what i find.

    Thanks
