    not ideal..

    as was said.. they like to be in groups.. MUCH happier and friendlier.. when they are in groups.. its night and day.. when their school increases..

    people use to have single angel with group of tetra , so why not discus !
    lets try out : plant tanks + single juvenile discus + single 80% water changer par week( just water change ) + 2 times feed par day.

    Already tried it out.

    My discus died of depression and starvation. Adults are more forgiving than juvies; yet they are so much more expensive no one treats them like that!

    Yup why bother asking if your going to do it anyway?! Ive had single adults in my qt b4 that refused food then popped them in the main tank with the others and fed straight away, you do the math ;0)
