Discus Friends

Hi all...
I'm still new here, really hope somebody would be able to help me.
I'm very tempted to start with discus. But problem is I don't know which fish a person can have in the tank with them. Some people told me you can mix them together and some say that I can't. I have a 4ft tank with a few plants etc. (Will post pic later)

I currently have:
2x Clown Loaches
10x Neon Tetras
10x Glow Light Tetras
8x Black Phantom Tetras
1x Alge Eater
5x Flame Dwarf Gourami's
4x Angel Fish

I can give some of them away to my friend etc, but it depends which ones I can't keep.

THANKS

Hi mate and welcome to the forum

I have to agree 100% with @Reedfish I to, have been keeping discus for over a year now and have to admit they are one of the best fish to keep if you have the time and dedication to do so. I would not mix them with angels as from what I have read around, angels carry various parasites that will affect the discus. They also are a lot faster then the discus so will pose a problem when it comes to food.

If you do decide to get discus keep them alone when growing them out. Makes life a lot easier when doing water changes etc. I posted a little article some time ago on my discus. Will post the link when I find it. Hope this helps.

Best friend for discus is clean water.i dnt keep any fish with my discus, but thats just me.there are some you can keep but stay well away from sucker fish as they latch on to discus and eat thier slime coat.it also depends alot on what size discus you want and how manny.5-6 discus minimum
