1 killi fish, 1 clown pleco, 3 true yo-yo loaches, 2 endlers
Would they be good tankmates or would they stress the discus out.
Thank you

My discus ate guppies, so I doubt your Endler's will stand much of a chance.

My disc are still juvi's about 3 inches.
i dont think endlers would fit in their mouth yet.

Will the fish you mentioned tolerate the higher heat? I've never kept loaches or killies but I've done Endler's and I always kept them in the high 70s. I've never tried them in water warmer than 80 degrees or so. That may be your only concern.

I've got guppies in my tank and had no problems with high heat or meds, but any babies born are fair game for the discus.;)

I have a bristol nose pleco in there right now. It is fine with high temps as high as 90 and also kulih loaches.
