Discus In A Community Tank!

[joyboy]

Are discus suitable for community tank with (Kuhli Loaches, A guppy, dwarf gourami and Cardinal tetras). I tried to research but im getting mixed answers. In this videos, it looks like it's in a tank with a lot of smaller fish and looks fine. What do you guys think?

Discus are lovely, and that is one hell of a south american set up. I'm not too sure how they would be with gouramis. I've never kept discus before, but what i've read is they require pretty precise water chemistry.

Keep these dudes with gouramis? Mmmmm... I don't think they're gonna get along becuase they might be aggressive towards each other. OK, I might be wrong about that. But, nice tank!!

It really shouldn't be done, as discus need temps of about 86* and very stable water chemistry. I've also heard you must use RO water, which means either buying a RO unit or buying the RO water itself. So ideally they need to be kept in a biotope or a species tank as said in your other thread. Also they should be kept in groups of 6 so I'd say no for your tank.
