SourceAquatics Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Plecos and Cory Cats should do fine in a Discus tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykit Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I've never kept discus but everywhere I have read it says not to keep discus with plecos because the plecos will try and eat the slime coat on the discus skin. Not sure how this holds up but I would be wary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SourceAquatics Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I prefer to stick with BN plecos, they dont seem to bother any fish and love to tackle algae. But most plecos should be fine with Discus...just watch you temperture (84F) works for all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince0 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 at 84f, you have to be real careful what pleco's and cories you put in there, not all of them will be able to withstand that high a temp for prolonged periods. Also, not all plecos are algea eaters. As for the cories, why not go to your LFS and see what catches your eye and is locally available. I have cory. sterbai. They are awesome, but they also took me close to 6 months to get my group of 11, since i they were so limited in number when they were availabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
