Any advice on keeping discus would help. Temp, ph levels and how many is the minimum and max numbers for a 125g with a bunch of tetras. Thanks
tyspot1000 said:Discus prefer 80 - 86°F for the temp. As far as Ph, Ive heard they like the acidic side of the scale, but if acclimated properly, they could do fine in neutral Ph side.
I think a group of 5-8 could go in the 125 with the tetras. What kind of tetras do you have?
tyspot1000 said:Hmm, Im not sure about the Black skirts and higher temps, but you could always try. The cardinals will do good though.
The Black ghost knife should do alright with the discus, just make sure to have it densely planted with fake/live plants, Also make sure to have a hollow cave or something. This fish is sensitive to light and needs some cover. Also make sure the temp does not exceed 82 degrees.

You can keep the pots and driftwood in there, but just make sure to have a hollow piece of driftwood or a hollow cave that the BGK can get in and get some rest from the light. You could get a floating plant do dim the light.
