    I currently have Discus and Altum's together. However, don't be surprised if you notice some Neon's missing from time to time.
    Just follow a quaranty period before adding new fish to your community tank.

    Just to save you some time, I have never heard of them sold as pairs. Anyone with a breeding pair (which is extremely rare) is probably not going to sell the pair.

    and that is if they really are altums too ... not wanting to burst bubbles, but most so called altums aren't.

    Hey-bappu... it will be perfectly fine but remember quarantine the two Altum's for 4 to 5 weeks first before you introduce them into your 120g and your Discus are gorgeous.

    CIMG3860.jpg Five Altums with a combination of wild and domestic Discus, and some Brochis Catfish. When I've kept Altums by themselves in the past they always seemed very shy. The Discus act like dithers and bring them out of their shells. It works out well. Quarantine is a must.

    I keep my Altums with Geophagus Red Head Tapajos. They go great together.

    I agree, I have two black angels with my Rose Reds. They get along great.
