DISCUS

i can not stress this enough(sorry if i sound mean) but they can not, and i repeat CAN NOT be in a tank less then 50 gals. and should not be kept in groups less then six. i repeat they should not be kept in groups less then six. even if you are trying to breed them, do not get just 2. get a group and let them pair off, it works much much better that way. so please people. PLEASE take this advise and dont waste your money and buy expensive discus to put them in a 10 or 20 gal. it just won't work

from the pinned topics
they look good in planted tanks and also look great with cardindal and rummy nose tetras,also dont get neon tetras as discus will eat them

I'd never heard that discus eat neon tetras!!! I've had a small shoal of small ones with mine and not lost one!

Apart from that, there are some very useful websites out there for info on discus, don't go to your lfs, try Google!
