Knowing Leopold adding other discus would be pretty much throwing my money away as he would terrorize them and I'd have to remove them. And I definitely want to keep him. Both him and the synodontis (been with me for 9 years) are my absolute favorites. They are part of the family. So other tank...

I absolutely love him, he is my lovely little terror. Wanted to name him Hannibal, but my family thought Leopold fit him more.

I was thinking of something similar to a South American biotope. But I have limited choices because of my discus and I don't want any other cichlid in the tank besides him. He has to be the star. I forgot about otocinclus, thank you for reminding me, definitely have to add some.
