do you see a picture or a link? I can't post a pic that I can see unless I also upload to photobucket and then paste in image brackets. |

Mine do fine together. Sometimes the discus gets a little snappy at feeding time. I will try to post a pic. Forgot to ask you what size tank your angelfish are in? I have some of mine in a 46 gallon bowfront tank. 5 angelfish, 1 discus and 6 kuhli loaches, 3 baby bn plecos My angels are in a 72 gallon bowfront corner tank. You could just try it and see when you are going to be around to watch to make sure they all get along. Mine have. Just when I feed black worms the discus will chase angelfish off to keep it from getting worms. |

I sure wish I'd met discus person at swap. I'd love to find someone who raises them to get some good quality fish. The 2 I have I got at petco and they are mostly culls. I still love them but sure would love to buy 6 youngsters from a quality breeder.

They have a large tank with only discus in the row of tanks right behind the checkout island. |

If you look deep enough on the internet, you'll find discus breeders in this quadrant of the country shipping fish at fair enough prices.

Although I keep, breed, and raise several types of fish, Angelfish are my mainstay or primary fish in most of my tanks.
I love all of the colors, but do have some favorites, and the red/orange/black koi, with as little white as possible are my favorites.
Actually the red in fish is my favorite color for any type of fish.

When I had a pair of discus a while back, I had them in a 55g tank. I kept it at 82 degrees and did a 20% water change twice a week. I think they were pigeon blood or something. Anyway, they died after about 4 months and that was it. I had another pair for a few weeks I kept alive and sold, but that is the only experience I have with them.

I have been breeding angels off and on for 30 -plus yrs. But i never have had any discus but i have always wanted to try them. I was lucky when i started trying to breed angels i had a old man in a town near me that had been breeding them for yrs and he tought me how, so my hat is off to MR BILL BISHOP in heaven now he was a really great friend and knew alot about angels.
