Hi all, I was wondering if boesmanis can be kept with discus?
I've seen pics here and there were people have both also some you tube vids.
Are all the parameters compatable?
Thanks..

Boesmani will be ok from a discus perspective but they do better in harder water in the long term. Many rainbows carry fish TB so this could also be an issue. Rainbows also love moving water. Even though boesmani are a lake species, they do best in moving water to keep them fit. Many of the old time rainbow experts would tell you a high protein diets for rainbows is also a problem.
Hope that helps
