Discus tank mates?
Has anybody kept Colombian red finned tetras in a planted Discus tank. If so, did they make worthy companions?

The Colombian red/gold tetras are very peaceful and easy to maintain. Not too flighty and live in similar water conditions. I also found them easier to spawn than the discus, but then the discus weren't yet fully mature.. Jim |

Thanx for the reply Jim. One other thing, I find the Tetras are very fast, hearty feeders and now have a liking for frozen Discus food, this is not leaving a lot for the Discus. Did you use a particular feeding regime to over come this
Thanx

Try feeding some pellet foods first to sort of fill the tetras, then feed the prime stuff for the discus and to top up the tetras. Jim |

Since this is a planted tank newsgroup, I would also like to point out that
these tetras have a liking to plants as well. They'll nibble at the soft parts(new shoots) of the leaves. "Skunky" wrote in message ... Thanx for the reply Jim.
