Is my tank suitable for 4 discus?

[Ugzy]

Hi,


New to the forums...

My current setup is a 350L Juwel corner aquarium with a 2000L/h external APS filter. Fully planted (photo attached)

Stats :
ph : 6.4
kh : 100
gh : 125
nitrate : 10
nitrite : 0
ammonia : 0

Fish:
12 x glowlight tetra (all under 0.5 inches)
12 x serpae tetra (all under 0.5 inches)
7 x guppy (around an inch)
7 x platy (around an inch)
2 x siamese algae eater (around 1.5 inches)

Any thoughts on whether it would be suitable for multiple discus on top of the rest of the community fish?

Thanks in advance.

Chris

I would say that you have room although I have never kept discus and based off what I've heard that sounds fine in my opinion. In a ninety gallon tank you should be ok. Anyone else want to comment?

Ya you would be fine with 4-5 discus

Brill, thanks guys, was hoping so.


Ive just read a lot of stuff about some fish spooking the discus unless the tank is large enough, but no one goes into any detail on what is "large enough"

Beautiful tank!! Is that Val in the back? Parrotbay is a great person to talk to about discus! Very informed and willing to help. You should pm them.
