I like discus and i want to put them in my aquarium... I have a 35 gallon tall, but its still fairly wide. if they get big round-wise, wouldnt i be able to keep at least two?

MissMTS

You could keep a pair of discus in a 35 gallon tank. What do you have in the tank currently and what are the dimensions?

Slug

Yes you could maintain a pair in that tank. Pending on the other fish and what they are.

You'll be fine with a pair and maybe some tetras? Good luck!

DarkFin

I have nothing in my tank, do discus eat plants?

aquarist48

Hello DarkFin. Discus would love a planted tank I'm sure. They also do well bare bottom especially for breeding purposes.

They do not eat plants, but like Ken said, they enjoy plant cover. It doesn't matter to them if the plants are live or fake, so that's up to you.

DarkFin

why bare bottoms, and i have another question, if i decide to get and bread angels, how many could i have in there?

hey you need 2 know what heat and pH levles that the fish you already have. discus like depth drift wood plants and good water condishens. i keep my tanp temp at around 30. if u really wont 2 keep discus happy colect rain water as that is very very good 4 discus hope this helps.

Slug

Rain water can be very misleading and dangerous for any fish. With all the pollutants and stuff in the air these days, I wouldn't trust it. It'd be easier to get a simple RO/DI filter. Just had to throw that out there.
