Discus Mates For Tropical Fish Tanks
So you want to add fish to your Discus tank, but are not quite sure which is best? The UK publication Practical Fishkeeping has some suggestions for tropical fish tanks.
Tetras
Most tetras are great with Discus. However, one or two of them with “flatter” bodies such as Bleeding
hearts, Serpea and, needless to say, piranhas, are to be avoided.
Yes, no piranhas.
Another fine tank mate:
Bristle-noses
Bristle-noses, Ancistrus, stay around 10cm/4″ and will work tirelessly to rid the tank of algae. Keep three individuals per 50 l of water.
