| I don't think it would work. For one, they're really a schoaling fish, and one alone wouldn't be comfortable. For another, I think your other fish would outcompete the discus for food. Also, discus prefer higher temps, and you want a very lightly stocked tank for them to keep the nitrates at zero. |

| I agree with Lotus. Maybe if you got rid of some of those fish, but with that stocklist i wouldn't chance it. It seems to be a more mixed bag stocklist where i'd only recommend a straight biotype type stocklist for a discus tank. Whats a Gmais?
