Discus fish compatibility

[ganesan]

Can I keep leporinus fish about 6 numbers all are about 4 inch with adult discus fish of about 5 inch suze

[AquaticNerd]

I wouldn't. The Banded Leporinus can grow up to a foot long and are cooler water fish (typically kept anywhere from 74-80F). They're also well known as being jumpers and can easily startle discus. Adult discus should be kept at a minimum of 82F and ideally 84F.

Apparently Jake knows these fish. Follow his advice.
