mollies + discus

[DiscusMad]

Well I had thought that mollies were quiet and would not bother the discus as well as a great supply of fry for the discus to eat...........


Well was a bit wrong there i cought the new mollies bothering the discus and it looked like they were eating the slime coat off the discus! :evil:

So I had to put them into a seprate tank oh well I guess we still learn as we go.

Not a good idea. I once had mollies with discus. Mollies are too agressive when it comes to feeding.

Mollies, guppies and sword fish are bad bad idea to mix with discus...I had guppies and sword fish with my discus before...they love to eat slim coat off my discus and trace my discus around...
they also love my discus eggs...when parents swim out for food....

going to just use them as breeders for feeding the discus there fry

my g/f had picked up 12 neons and dumped them into the tank a few days a go.


well now there is nine and a fat red turq :roll:


but shhhhh she has not counted how many is left in the tank yet lol

[weird]

I have seen mollies vicously attack a ghost knifefish ... not a good idea to put them with slow moving fish I don't think.
