Discus Tank Mates: The Best & Worst Options

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.

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

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...

[ImageMovie]

Best and informative video, Thanks for this kind of video.

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?

[michaelwong]

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

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.
