    Post BEST TANK MATE FOR DISCUS

    Is there a general consensus among members what the undisputed best tank mate/s (type of fish)for a discus might be...Other than another discus?

    Just curious.

    Thanks,

    John

    Cardinals come from same area and water conditions. Coreys handle the same conditions well.

    Rummy-Nose Tetras are also very good discus tank-mates, as are Lemon Tetras.

    All I keep with my discus is plecos, however rams, and most tetra seem to do well with them. I have even seen a lot of people keep rays with them.
