Discus tankmates

[TwitchyDiscus]

Can you guys suggest some tankmates for my discus's?
I currently have 6 Harlequin Rasboras with my discus but my LFS said the discus temp is too high for them.

Most tetras are good imo. Look for the ones that are from the same waters the discus are from, Brazil and the Amazon.

As far as I know, rasboras are fine in discus temps. I don't know how they'd do if you had to raise the temps over 90 to treat diseases though. Are you running a particularly high temp in your tank?

Try Bolivian rams That's what I have with my discus and all is fine.

It depends on your temps... there are some that can't handle the middle-to-high end of the temperature range of Discus and then there are several more that can handle the lower range of the Discus temps.

I've kept Corys, Plecos (people have mixed feelings about these but they work for me), cardinals, otocinclus, neons, and even a betta (would not recommend).

The best tankmates for discus are other discus.
