Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: The 6 Perfect Fish Species to Include In a Discus Fish Tank

A lot of people believe that a discus fish
aquarium should only be dedicated to discus fish
alone.

However, you need to keep in mind that although
they are considered to be high maintenance fish,
you will find that there are other species that
can also thrive with them.

And, the best thing about these fish species is
that they go along with discus fish and can
really enhance the look of your aquarium.

You have to remember that discus fish are
schooling fish that likes to be kept in small
groups of five to eight.

They need security of a school around them and
getting them in groups will help in reducing
their stress levels and also help in keeping them
happy.

Another advantage of keeping them in groups is
that you are actually increasing their chances of
mating and breeding and produce more discus fish,
which you can keep or even sell for profit.

Although they are very beautiful on its own, you
can increase the appeal of your aquarium by
adding other species of fish.

Here are the 6 species you can include in the tank

1.Characins

Discus fish will feel comfortable with small
schooling fish, such as characins. When your
fish see the characins in the open, they will
feel that they are safe to swim around the
aquarium and will be more active.

A large school of characins, such as the Cardinal
Tetra, Rummy Nose, or the Neon Tetras go well
with them.

This will also help emulate their natural habitat
more and both types of fishes flourish well in
the same water conditions.

2.Dwarf Cichlids

You can also include most peaceful and slow
moving South American fish as well as Dwarf
Cichlids with them.

However, you just do so if the other fish doesn't
compete for space and food with the discus fish.

3.Blue and Golden Gouramis

Blue and Golden Gouramis can also be included in
the tank but are not recommended because they are
more aggressive in nature.

4.Corydoras

Another fish that goes well with them is the
Corydoras. These are small and peaceful catfish
that does a great job as a bottom feeder. Get a
couple of these fishes and they will be able to
help keep your tank clean.

5.Angelfish

Although Angelfish can look great with the discus
fish, it is not recommended for smaller tanks.
This is because Angelfish can grow very large and
can bully them.

They may even outcompete them for food and they
may also carry diseases that the discus fish are
prone to catch. This combination is possible but
it will require a much larger aquarium and also a
skilled aquarist.

6.Blue Ram

Another great fish that can complement is the
Blue Ram, which is a beautiful dwarf cichlid.
This fish will go well with them in the tank and
it can further enhance the overall look of your
aquarium.

These are some of the fish species that can go
well with your discus fish. By keeping these
things in mind, you will be able to have an idea
what kind of fish species to get to accompany
your discus fish in the aquarium.
