Hi All

Just a quick question, is it advisable to mix juveniles and adult discus in the same tank? Will the older discus pick on the small ones?

Thanks

Bigger discus will hog all the food, so the little ones may not grow and be stunted.

I agree with carol, I have an adult and juvenille together and if I don't target feed the little one or put food on opposite ends of the tank, sometimes he won't get anything to eat.

Myslef, I have no problems at all. all my fish get equal amounts of food and I have none picking on any. If anything the Juvis sometimes pick at the adults! ;D
