With Oatmeal Gone, I'm Down to Six 2.5" Fish - Is That Enough for one 75 gallon tank?

am I missing something? Oatmeal?

Please tell me that is a typo...

Nevermind, just saw your other other thread and see that the discus' name is Oatmeal. A group of 6 discus is still good depending what size tank you have?

Oatmeal was my red turk, he showed up in the travel bag kaput. There are six fish left - is that enough for a healthy school? Current tank is 45 gallons, but they will move to 75 gallon when they get bigger.

Should be enough. Are they out and about and eating well?

Personally l would have started with a group of 10 to 12 fish, and thin them out to 8 once they become larger. They really do much better in larger groups

Not sure how I missed that. Thx.

OP, you should be fine with 6 in a 75g

Let them get a litter bigger in the 45G and then into 75, they should be fine.
