should i have a discus in my tank

[cottonj21]

My freind got 2 discus's but one is being bullied in his tank. He wants me to take one. My tank has 3 sword tales 7 neon tetras 4 panda corries, 4 other fish about half size of sword tales (cant remember the name but are very calm fish) 2 plecs and some baby sword tale ( i know they might get eaten)

The tank is a quite heavily planted juwel 180 running the juwel filter with an eheim 2213 and co2 being injected into it. And has been running over 3 months

Should I take the discus or will I run into problems

Discus are very difficult to keep from what I've read. I've not kept them but as far as I know they should be kept in a separate aquarium. Sorry not much help really.

Never kept them either, but you may get a better response in the new world chiclids forum.

When I worked in an aquarium shop we had discus(fun guys if you ask me). they really arn't hard to keep.

But i need to know the following:

• The tanks capasity (leters will do but prefure gallons)
• tank dimensions (LxWxH...cm is fine but yet I do prefure inch
• water temp
• ph
