A Simple Question Of Compatibility

[interpet123]

Hey, basically what the title says!! Are these fish compatible...... Discus, cardinal tetra's, panda cory's, german blue rams, a tank bred ancistrus pleco and a black ghost knife fish?? Thanks in advance!! Alex

I think sterbai cory rather than panda and not too sure on the BGK, i dont think that will work, apart from that its pretty good...

What are the quantities and tank size?

All are fine together except the BGK - it would eat the cardinal tetras when full grown.
I'm not sure whether Panda Cories do well in the temperature Discus require though - I think Sterbai would do better.

Wow.. we pretty much said the same thing

 

[interpet123]

ok, thanks alot!!!!!

Ha - nice.

What were the quantities and tank size you had in mind?

 

[interpet123]

33 gal tank, 2 discus, 10 cardinals, 2 male blue rams, 6 sterbai, 1 plec

33 gal is too small for discus - go for 4 foot 55g minimum also keep as group rather than singletons. Cardinals, Rams, Sterbai and some plecs are good tank mates. But be careful of the plec as the temps may be too hot for them long term.

I wasn't sure about the plec either but if it's a BN then I'm sure it'll be fine - they're tough things. I've seen one in a tank with Tanganyikan Cichlids at pH8 I wouldn't recommend this of course. Other plecs are less robust though. I've read Zebra Plecs and Farlowella Acus (Twig Catfish) can be kept with Discus but mainly people don't recommend it as they eat any eggs and enjoy the milk Discus secrete when spawning.

I'm just saying this from what I've read though, I don't keep Discus myself - or anything requiring a higher temperature.
