Farlowella & discus??

[gump]

Does anyone have these in their discus tanks? If so, how do you find them for compatibility with discus? I thought because they weren't very good swimmers that there wouldn't be a problem!! Wrong answer. Come to find out that just recently they are bugging.. the discus going for the slim coat I guess. Anyone else find this??

Well, i know farloweela's have very short-lifes. they are seasonal fish, so chances are it could die, mine died a week before i bought my discus it was 7 inches big, pretty much maximum growth :( I think they are really cool fish, but if they are bothering your discus they gotta go

I have kept farlowella with discus and they never bothered the discus. I only took mine out because it was eating the plants.
