Best Schooling Fish For Discus

[beechey]

mine just eat them all the time, what do u have

 

[mike os]

rummy nose

 

[rabbut]

^^As above, also Cardinal Tetras. I did have Head and Tail lights, but over 6 months, all 20 just melted, so would'nt recomend them... I have Corry Adolfoi and Metea also

 

[DiscusKeeper403]

Maybe Colombian Tetra? Although I have heard 27 or 28C is probably the highest temp. you would want to go with them.

 

[3ndl3r]

Most tetras will be ok with them, aslong as they aren't too small to be eaten.

ive now tried , rummy nose, cardinal and neon tetra`s and harlequins , thou the harlequins did last a few weeks mind, what else wpuld survive at 30 deg

 

[simonas]

I've always had success with cardinal and rummys, neons won;t live for long in discus temperature

 

[beechey]

arnt neons from the same water as discus

 

[rabbut]

They are the same area, but the above poster is correct. Too hot for them to last more than a few (6 is lucky) months The Discus are out of the river itself, in pools to a side, the Neons are in the river. The river is cooler than the side pools They can cope with about 28c OK enough, but 30 is too much.

All the best

[tropic_john]

Right now my adult guppy tank has dropped down to 27 degrees celcius. I normally have mine at about 28-30 celcius

 

[bagu]

[beechey]

[mattbond]

[rabbut]

Black Widows can be nippy though, so may be a tad risky
