i was jus wondering wether

if not could you give me some ideas of nice fish to buy
because im stuck
i want reall nice fish thanks
 
Yeah we'd need to know how many gallons your tank is and your water parameters first....discus are very sensitive to water conditions and are easily stressed, and do best in groups of 4+. In a 3 foot tank though, I really doubt you'd have room...and if the either of the plecos is a common, best to get rid of it now before it grows into a monster.
 
"i have a 3 foot tank "

no, discus should be kept in a school of no less than 4 that alone will eliminate your tank as a possible home for discus. even more so given you already have fish.
 
I would get rid of/move your clown loaches(they get pretty big), the plecos, and the betta. Then start with a school of fish like tetras/cories, or even kribs/rams/any drawf cichlids. Depending on your size thank a pair of angels maybe.
