    Default How many discus in 80 gal?

    Hello. I wanted to go very big but since I live in an apartment and I'm afraid how much weigh the floor needs to support, I want to start with an 80 gal. How many discus+altums do you recommend to have to be happy with the space, and not have bullying/stress problems?

    6 discus, 0 Altums. The altums get too tall for an 80 gal tank.

    It's not the size of the tank as much as how clean is the water. What's your water changing schedule? If you're not sure, I'd think a lot more about this.
    At my age, everything is irritating.
