:For all those who know alot about these majestic fish, please forgive my inexperience. I am starting to set up a 3foot tank...I believe they hold 33gallons? would I be able to keep discus say 3 or 4 with other fish such as angels, clown loaches and elephant nose and ghost knifes? Do there pH and water temp even match? Any info in keeping the fish would be appreciated greatly. I have been warned not to do discus until I have more experience........and the literature informs me that you need to keep them in a tank only with other discus.......I thought I would get other peoples opinions :)
:Thanx

Hi Betty,
A 33-gallon tank is too small for anymore fish other than one discus, it's even too small for the elephant nose and clown loaches. You might want to rethink the setup you have at the moment before adding any other fish.
