In a 2 ft tank... u need to take some fish out, not put anymore in!!!

Get a bigger size tank b4 u put in anymore fish.

Lots more fish can go with Discus...
My favouries are the corydoras.

Ditto to what kev said...

overcrowding will lead to major problems, unless you are prepared to do massive water changes daily with identical water you would be better cutting back, or going to something bigger...

my suggestion...

GO BIGGER

lol

no my discus are in a 3 foot tank with a school of neon a gippie sep and 4 boliven butterfly and 4 bristlenose cat. i have a 2nd 2 foot tank and hope to breed my bristle nose in that 2 foot tank .......
i am a newbie to discus and even i know that a 2 foot is way to small..... how much do rummy-nose tetras go for ?

I put 3 discus in a 3ft tank and it was a big mistake i wish now i went bigger in the first place. Also iam with Kev Cory's are one of my fav;s aswell.

[Jonesy]

why was it a big mistake ?

[flukes]

That there wasnt enough room for them, and also i think they do alot better in group larger. Its not like they are going too die but you want the best to maintain the best fish.
