Just Need Some Opinions

[black molly3]

i have a community setup with mainly live bearers in. ( mollys and plattys) 1 royal plec and 4 coradoras. i want something to be the centre of attention like a bigger fish what would not harm the others. the tank is a rio 180. i was just wondering would a pair of discus be ok in there.

thanks black molly

If it was me i would get a angel fish, i dont think discus is a good choice with your fish

Discus are generally not a good choice for a community tank because of their timid nature and specific water requirements. Your livebearers would most likely be too lively for their liking and scare them.

Angels would be a better choice, but be aware that Angels will grow fairly large (the most common variety, Pterophyllum Scalare, whilst only attaining a length of approx 6", will get to around 10" tall), and will eat small fish such as small tetras or livebearer fry.
