Hey there,

I was just trying to gather as much info about what to do with my 3 discus that should be arriving tomorrow morning. I have 55g with 4 others in there, and a 10g QT tank set up . Please let me know of anything vital ! thanks!!

i wouldn't put them in the 10g for sure and the 55g is not a great option either. you always want to keep new arrivals separated from your current stock, this includes nets/hoses/filters/sponges...etc. i would suggest getting a 29g at least for QT. i know not many have the luxury but this is something that has to be considered before ordering new discus. if you have to add them into your current 55 then be very cautious and watch them closely. where are you getting the ones coming in.
