Note: I don't actually have this tank or these fish.

Would it be okay to put a pair or more discuss in a 70 gallon tank that is square? I don't know the exact dimensions of the tanks whereas it's my brother-in-laws at the moment (I'm trying to talk him out of it). I'm just scoping out the possibilities.

I am gonna guess that the tank is about 30" square, and 18 High..

personally, based on those dimensions, I would think it is too small, although it is 70 gal..

But... I have never had a tank like that and really dont know. Can you get the actual dimensions?

I thought maybe it was too small, but I figured I would ask in the slight chance that maybe they would be okay.

I'll see if I can get the dimensions.

I think Zig is close on the dimensions...glass cages sells a 70 square that is 30"x30"x18"

You would be ok with a mated pair.

the conventional rule say that provide 10 gallon per adult disus..since your tank is 70 gallon you can easily keep breeding pair discus..

The white engine is meant to be really powerful, and if Square Enix are rumoured to be adding more titles to the Fabula Nova Crystallis do you not think they will just it for that instead so they have it like all to themselves lol??

Um, what? What does Square Enix have to do with a discus tank or fish for that matter?
