Discus Cube Update

[AquaAussie]

So I recently build my 240g malawi tank which frees up my cube to house all my discus. The tank is beautiful and the fish so happy.

10 x discus
1 x Galaxy pleco
1 x Farlowella
And a couple dozen fire ember tertras

I think it's around 60g

And I know you may think that it's too small for this many fish but it's perfect. I have a lot of fish experience and it is perfect.

Having fish experience and Discus experience are two totally different things and quite often a big misconception. I had 20 years fish experience going into Discus 10 years ago and it wasn't squat. It a whole different ballgame.

Yes, they should be. I'm still waiting for a reply as to the # of gallons.

he said around 60 gallons, discus have specific needs and giving them anything but those needs and more is cruel. You say you have experience but this is clearly a defense since you apparently know that it is cruel (or why else would you mention this)

10 discus in a 66 gallon tank works for me. But it probably wouldn't work for most people.
