any other discus tankmates?

[goldenpigeon]

i am having a bit of trouble with finding new tankmates for my discus community tank. i currently have bristlenoses, rummy nose, rams, hocky sticks, whip tails, cory's, phantoms, and maybe a couple more that i have forgoten about.

this may sound like allot but i have a 6ft by 2ft by 2ft and only have a few of each species.

i am very interested in rare fish that go with discus if any1 knows any good ones.

thx

Hi David, and welcome to the forum. Browse thru some of the post here from Kevkoi at SLS. He often has rare and unusual discus tankmates.

Errrm, rare eh?

How bout a Potamotrygon reticulatus with your discus...

Both dinner plates... just one lies on the ground, the other swims around.

How 'bout some nice corydoras or some rare pleco type catfish?

How rare and exotic do you want to get?

Send Kev a PM via this forum, and he will tell you what fish they have in stock at SLS Aquarium. They can ship fish to all over Australia without any problems.
