Discus Tank Mates You Can Try (explained) - in 12 minutes

Are you looking to add diversity to your discus aquarium?
Discus are one of the most prized and respected fish in the hobby. Their unique colors, docile nature, and exclusive price tag make them the holy grail for most fishkeepers. That said, Discus doesn't have to be kept in species-only tanks.
Well, I believe a discus tank should only accommodate discus fish considering the amount of care and dedication these fish require to live happily.
For choosing discus tank mates, you should consider these factors:
1. Temperament
2. Size
3. Competition
Apart from these factors, you will get to know about these stats of fish mentioned in the list.
-Scientific Name
-Adult Size
-Compatibility
-Water Temperature
-Minimum tank size
-Care Level
-Diet
-Origin
-Swimming Level
So we hope you will get all the information required for choosing tankmates for your Discus Fish.

Nothing more relaxing than watching a small group of colorful fish in a pond full of very nice greenish decorations. Angelfish is my favorite, it reminds me of the movie "Nemo", those marked stripes with its characteristic fin make it one of the most attractive. Good research, I love the marine flora and fauna.

[@mdrobiulislam9122]

It's a very nice video.I liked the video a lot

[@Awsimilate]

Skirted Tetra also work very well with discus, and they live longer than neon's or cardinals.

[@bdshamim7126]

I adore my 10 blue turqiouse discus fish in a healthy community of kardinals, cory;s an army of shrimp and some algue eaters, this all I have them now for 10 months in a 62 gallon tank, with no water changes, on a deep dirt substrate, and 3 feeds a week.. and I can tell you my discus fish are far from shy, they do follow each and every step we make in the house...

[@johnwhite2293]

My experience with the angelfish is not good. I had 6 angelfish in a tank with 12 discs the 5 of the angelfish became aggressive to the discus and I had to be moved they were damaging the discus.

[@michaelwong5129]

plecos can harm discus that are nurturing fry, the mother discus secrets a mucus like nutrient on their scales for the fry, that is a snack for plecos

[@Tomahawk1999]

yes but a breeding pair is usually put in a different tank of its own

[@finsandthrills]

Hey just wondering I have a 330-litre tank and I have 8 angelfish do you think that I can put in 2 discuses, I feed them frozen brine shrimp, flakes, peas, zucchini and sinking wafers.

[@JJ5572]

Discus are a schooling fish they would be lonely with only two of them in a tank

[@JJ5572]

I’m confused about the white cloud minnows I thought they were a Coldwater fish and yet you recommend putting them in with discus who like waters of 82° and higher would that not kill the white cod minnows?

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

They are extremely hardy and adaptable fish and can be accumulated to the higher temperatures. They will have a shorter lifespan though due to the increased metabolic activity and they won’t breed at these temperatures. They got listed because I’ve seen them at an clubs member’s tank here in Texas and they did just fine. It’s nearly impossible to have a room temperature tank here since its too hot in the summer. Temps in aquariums regularly get to over 75 degrees without a heater often times over 80 unless you are blasting your AC

[@mdbelalhossain6214]

Can u tell me name of golden fish. Thanks

[@DallasARCH79]

Can I keep discus in a 260 gallon aquarium with Golden Wonder Killifish? The Killifish are calm and docile. But Can the Killifish stand the warmer discus temperatures?

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

It would be on the higher end, but I’ve seen a post or two on simply discus talking about success with both. It should be possible with careful accumulation. Here is the link to a case for reference - forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?60802-I-found-a-Great-Tankmate-for-Discus-Golden-Wonder-Killifish

[@lawg2909]

I put neon tetras in my discus tank. Slowly i noticed my tetras are decreasing in numbers. Discus eats them!

[@kendallherring7283]

Discus tanks have higher heat. That’s what killed them.

[@davidising]

The video is very well done. However Id absolutely discourage that nasty pleco. They should be banned. The bristle nose pleco or any other small plecos are safe. Also colonizing ghost shrimp make for a great base food source for discus. Its neat to hear them hit the shrimp and the community will clean up the pieces.

[@Jacksprat265]

White clouds?? They are a cooler water fish

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

They are one of the most adaptable fish in the hobby. They will do okay in the warmer waters discus prefer up to 82 degrees. They need to be drip accumulated and will have a slightly shorter lifespan as a result.

[@butterflyowns]

rasbora I can say with experience is a bad tankmate, they are ravenous at feeding time and nearly always left nothing for my gouramis to eat.

[@rvcuartojr]

Why some dwarf gouramis are aggressive? :(

[@AquariumStoreDepot]

Yes - some are. They need space to curb their aggression. I'll be making a video about Dwarf Gourami tank mates in the future. Stay tuned!

[@tktropicals4997]

why do you want tankmates. Aren’t the discus beautiful enough.

[@sheregulparvez5394]
