I have 4 Royal Whiptails and 2 Corys and 6 neon’s (down from 25) and 5 Discus in a 300 litre tank, man can they poop. I believe the whiptails are the culprits anyone else experience Discus tank mates that poop heaps?

Plecos are reputed to. Maybe it is the Whiptails. It is also possdible that if you have driftwood in your tank the Whiptails might be eating wood but I am just guessing. Also, in America Discus keepers keep Cardinals instead of Neons, they tend to do better.

I do have drift wood, the neon’s are left over from the first tank but slowly dying out, thinking about replacing them with rummys i read that they are quite hardy.

Jope your discus were not like mine, when they got bigger they eat the smaller rummys. I was told if the can get it in there mouth they might try to eat them...

Discus are the Kings of the aquarium. Plecos are the Kings of poop!!

I have said the exact same thing this week. You don't quite realise how much plecs poop until they are in a BB tank!

I have 1 Golden BN and 1 L200 Green Phantom. I have the urge to follow them around with a syphon hose. They poop constantly, and i am not exaggerating!
