    Default Adding one discus

    I have a Blue Knight adult discus in my quarantine tank, 29 gal, it had ammonia burn from being shipped then developed a slight fin infection. It is looking great, eating doing well. My question is, can I move this single discus to my 60 gal tank with 5 other adult discus. My concern is they will take turns harassing the new addition. In the 60 gal there are two mating pairs and one single male. Your thought. Ksermie

    How long have they been in quarantine? All new discus should get 4-6 was qt. Also best to add a hero fish to new discus to make sure no cross contamination

    I'd go a minimum of six weeks. Keep doing water changes in the Q tank and the finnage will fully recovered very quickly. Since you have two mating pairs in the 60, I'd recommend you move the unpaired fish into the Q tank after a full quarantine to insure no disease.
    At my age, everything is irritating.
