    Default New Discus

    Hi All,

    My new Discus 4-2.5" will be here Tuesday. I already have 4-3" in a 46 gal bow front. My 90 gal is not up and running yet. I have the new Canister filter on the 46 so it can cycle with friendly bacterial. Would like to leave it for at least 2 weeks. This means that for 2 weeks I'll have 2 big Canisters on the 46. Can I put the 4 new ones in with the 4 I already have for 2 weeks? I worry about stunting and bullying.

    I would agree with Skip and try to figure out how to keep the 2 groups apart for 4-6 weeks.

    If that's what you have available it's better than no QT.
