| Re: Ok.I need some info Ok....I wouldnt keep 2 discus in anything less than 50G, infact IMO you shouldnt keep 2 discus together unless they are a mated pair since 1 will more than likely be the target of the others aggression. Therefor I would keep 1 discus. Discus kept solo become more petlike than those kept with other discus. A few otos and cories with the Discus would do fine. Red Snakeskins with a high amout of striations and high finned are simple beautiful fish!

| Re: Ok.I need some info Again......ditto lynn minimum 5 discus to disperse the aggression. If getting juvies, feed lots and change TONS of water daily. 5 discus=50g to start. for a 20g....ONE. No more. Unless they are a proven pair, and you will pay as much for a proven pair as a 55g and 5 juvie discus. http://www.jeddsaquaboard.com/forums/ is a great place with a superb discus forum. www.simplydiscus.com is another

| Re: Ok.I need some info Rummynosees will also act as an indicator of the water quality because the water is in good order they will display the bright red coloration on the "nose"  smiley* Hence the name
