Hi all,

I'm looking at setting up my 250L for discus, and just have a few questions before I do.

My plan atm is to put my breeding pair in there, along with 3 to 4 other discus. Am I likely to get agression issues since the pair is used to their own tank? Also, they're both pretty big fish, would it be ok if the new tankmates were slightly smaller, or would this just make any agression worse?

So far, I've kept a breeding pair, but never kept a community of discus, so any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

if you add the pair to a group they will be aggressive especially when they have eggs, by and by they should be ok, look out for bullying if the tank mates are too small.

maybe take your pair out and redesign the landscape of your tank,then add new fish,let them settle in and then add your pair.
just a thought,it may cut down the agression.
