Different sizes

[amirnezhad]

I saw some bad posts about keeping different sizes of Discus with each other. But would you please tell me what is the main problem(s) about this?

Tanks

Sometimes the bigger, stronger discus get all the food and the little ones runt. Sometime they all get along just fine - depends on the personalities of your discus. . .

That is very true. I have one that demands half the tank most of the time.

Thanks Carol and dm,

I have fishes in two defferent sizes in a tank but I never see any problem :) all of them look very well and eat very good, I think every thing is alright, So I think there is no need to change thank for bigger or smaller ones :)

Is there any other problem that may cause to change the place of different sizes? also is there any problem to keep different kinds of discus in a tank wi eachother or not?

Ali, I have noticed that smaller,agressive fish that seem to get more than their share of food still don't grow well with larger fish around. Some of the large fish are even bullied by the smaller ones.If you can keep fish that are the same size together. Rich
