Hi Folks!
After a long time, I now coming back to Discus again and I am super excited. I just ordered 6 4.5 inch discus online and prepping my main tank. I have a 55 gal tank with 5 tetras and 1 pea puffer. Would it be okay to mix my pea puffer with the 6 Discus? If not, I'll return it to the store. Any inputs/suggestions are much appreciated.
Thank you!
Lex
Guy I bough Discus from said I can mix em but want to be sure :o
What is a pea puffer?
Cool fish but nasty little boogers.
Thank you for sharing this!!! I only have one pea puffer so maybe they’ll get along??? I hope? Gulp… moment I see him nip or chase any of my discus I’m bringing him back to pet store. Lol. I really do like him though… they’re so cute
Yeah…. I’ve heard that they can be nasty. Tiny little thing though with googly eyes.. pretty clumsy too lol
Of course he did. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:Quote:

First take your 5 tetras and 1 pea puffer set them up in a smaller tank. Now you can QT your 6 discus in the 55G by themselves until you decide what to do with the rest.Quote:
