Hi everyone
I am in need of some help and assistance. I currently have the fish you see below but am spreading out my fish to some new tanks so they are not so crowded and my plan leaves me with 2 rams and 6 rummys in my 50. could it be possible to add some discus after i add a few more members.

I was thinking of
10 Rummy Nose Tetras
3-4 German Blue Rams
4-5 Discus


What you guys think

If no please say why and what i could do to fix it

Thanks

I wouldnt keep so many in a 50 - more like 3 max, since they seem to do better in odd numbered groups.

I agree, 3 is a good number. Any less and you will have domination problems between the 2, and any more would be to many for size of tank. IF u want more get a bigger tank:coffee2:

IMO your tank is barely big enough to keep the discus already in there.

IMO i feel like 3 discus max...its only a 36" tank with a wide foot print, I feel like you'd be better off with a community tank rather than discus...unless you made it discus only tank
