Hi,

today I went into a lfs west of the mountains.A new 4x2 has been set up as a display tank,from across the shop it looked good.As I went to have a look I was amazed to find this tank contained rams ,discus and their favourite tank mates frontosa and on closer inspection their was even a tropheus moorii sp.I mentioned to a staff member on this combination of fish and he also was not impressed but this is what the boss wanted.

Unfortunately mate there aint much you can do about this. I know i wouldnt like it if someone looked at my tank and tried telling me how to run it. But thats just me lol laugh.gif . he will find out when the fronnies get big and eat all his rams and when the tropheus realises it is a pretty aggro fish and nails his discus. Benno

I have seen discuss and frontosa kept together happily, both species of fish were breeding. Whilst i don't encourage it, as long as water parameters are kept 7.5ph and some KH, both fish don't mind the slight variations in water chemistry. Obviously the tropheus is a bad idea in a thak with discuss. In the end i would not comprimise my own fish by mixing the species.
