I think it's 20 gallons, but I'm not sure.

i think discus have the same space requirements as angels, a 20g tall or normal 29g, but dont quote me on it because im not a discus expert

Here checkout this link: You need a tall tank 18" and about 10 gal per Discus. Remember they are a schooling fish.

you wanna keep discus in a tall tank because their a taller fish than they are long.

10gals per each adult fish. The more WCs you do the more fish you can keep. 10gals per adult is a guideline.
