Clown loaches?

[cyber_ecco]

Is it ok to keep my clown loaches with my discus? Will they be able to handle the temp.?

They can be kept with discus but cannot tolerate with much salt.....glad you are back into discus again.

I wouldn't worry about the salt too much, they can usually tolerate salt as good as a discus can. In regard to the temp they should be fine also at discus temps, but the clown loaches and their playful silliness can disturb discus at night, which could be especially a problem if you want the discus to breed.
