rwhelan Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hello everyone, I am new to fishkeeping and am currently setting up my 4x3x2ft tank to eventually house some discus with a few other peaceful fish. I was wondering whether cherry or rosie barbs would go ok with Discus? I intend on introducing a few different schools slowly and ensuring my paramaters are spot on by the time Discus make it into the tank. Other tankmates I am considering are a couple of Blue Rams, Cardinal tetras, corydoas and a few bristlenose. I would love to add a few cherry or rosie barbs in to mull out the Rams a little..... At the moment I have 4 Rams and 2 cory. Any advice is much much appreiated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasMick Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I wouldnt. Focus on he discus and get fish which are less nippy. There are lots of nice tetras you could consider instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwhelan Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Thanks for that VegasMick, that was my gut feeling but I sore cherry barbs in with discus in a LFS the other day and they recommended putting them together. They looked quite happy in the shop, but that was only for the 5 min I spent infront of the tank I suppose. Might stick to tetras, thanks a tonne!
