5 Discus

[Sheila]

I currently have 9 Discus in a 70g tank. I'm thinking of cutting back and only keeping 5 of them and getting a larger school of cardinal tetras and maybe some cories. I'm just wondering if 5 will be ok aggression wise or if I should stick to 6 or more? I'm just finding with 9 it's too much work to keep things as clean as I like.

Thanks!

5 discus is fine, I keep five of them in a 90gallon and they get along fine.

Wonderful, thank you! I hate to part with some of these guys but I think it will be an improvement for the ones I keep!
