Other Fish with Discus?

[Abercrombie6202]

I'm just wondering what qualities would a fish have to have to go into a tank with a discus. Slow, Fast, small, big, shy, outgoing, greedy, delicate, hardy, color, etc.. anything? This question is because my mom has a red blood parrotfish and she wants it to go into the 75 gallon with the discus, but can this happen or will the discus kill it or will it kill the discus?

The only reason i told my mom MAYBE is becasue parrotfish can't bite. There mouths are always open and they suck food in. So... please tell me if they can or can't, Thanks-Adam

Hi Adam,
I have had both (NOT IN THE SAME TANK). I have had the parrott try and attack my hand when it was in the tank. Scared me to death. I would not do it. I find the parrott fish very very aggressive and I doubt the discus would get much food. Just my opinion, others may disagree. I gave away all my fish, and only keep discus now...

I keep Parrots and Discus but not together.I would not recommend it as Parrots can be aggressive.
