Discus fish compatibility

[ganesan]

Between Red cuipeau and semi royal wild discus which discus are harder and more demanding to keep. Can these both be mixed together. How many wild discus of size about 15cm can be kept in a 5feet by 2 feet by 2 feet aquarium . Would keeping altum and scalare with wild discus be hard on wild discus for food competition, bully etc. Can heart mix be given to wild discus or its better to give fiber rich foods.

Red Cuipeau and semi wild royal could be the same strain. Just that royals have more blue striations. Generally 1 per 10 gal of water, depending on WC's and maintenance. 15cm can be mixed with angels. Some folks use all beef heart and most use a varied diet. If I was to use beef heart, I'd feed some peas for fiber, while others may not.

Most wild discus are named from which tributary or river system there are caught. Most tributaries could have semi royal or royal in color.
