    I have my 6 Discus in with a variety as well, but in hindsight I will remove some that I feel may eventually be detrimental to the health of Discus, and I've noted which which I think are wise or not

    2 Marlboro reds
    2 Red Turks
    2 Dlue diamonds

    along with.......................

    12 young Albino Pearlscale Angels.........only temporary until adult size ???
    8 Long Finned Serpae Tetras.............very suitable and my favorite
    3 Yoyo Loaches......can be troublesome, as they like to suck on the Discus
    1 large Upsidedown Catfish.............no problems at all, very good
    1 large Rainbow Shark..........can be bossy, not really recommended
    1 large Black Lace Angel........no dramas so far ???
    1 Male and three Female Bettas..........very suitable.
    4 Adult Albino Bristlenoses.................they are coming out soon as they
    tend to foul the water quickly, if you've ever has Brissies in a bare
    bottomed tank before you would see how much these fish poop, they
    poop more than any other fish available

    a cpl of my SAE are starting to fight a bit now so i'm going to split them up and put 2 in my 3 footer and also going to put all my neons into there as well, but am going to add some more rasbora and rummy nose to my 5 footer.

    125g tank
    11 discus,
    6 Sterba cory,
    4 otos,
    2 bamboo shrimps
    2 Albino BN

    I'm thinking of add one or two clow loaches into the tank to control the snails. Is that OK or the clowns will chase my discus?

    In a 540L tank, currently lightly planted, but planning to become more heavily so:

    Discus:
    1 First of the Universe
    1 Giant Anakonda
    1 Albino turq
    1 Red Gold Diamond

    Tankmates:
    2 royal whiptail catfish (breeding pair)
    8 peppermint bristlenose catfish
    19 cardinals
    6 emperor tetras
    2 bolivian rams
    2 gold rams
    1 blue ram

    I think that's it at the moment. I'm hoping to get mates for all of the rams - including the bolivians, and another 4 discus, maybe 2 or 4 more peppermint bristlenoses, to grow them out, in order to keep 2 males & 4 females.

    Great topic by the way, very interesting!
