What's a good size tank to quarantine Discus in and use as a hospital tank. Would 40g breeder due. Or is it better to keep them with each other to prevent extra stress. These are just theoretical questions at the moment. I don't have any discus I just want to plan out my future tank really well. Atm it's just a dream but may become a reality in a year or so depending on funds. I'm strongly considering a 120 or 180 tank because of the depth so the discus can maneuver better.
Also, while I'm posting, do discus nibble plants. I've read mixed stuff that says they are ideal for large planted tanks and then other stuff says to keep the tank relatively sparse. I love the thought of aquascaping and since this is partly a dream tank anyway why not plan out a lush plant scenario. I would think it provides the discus with some shelter considering their relatively docile and sometimes shy cichlids. Also it would make the tetras I plan to add as dither fish really stand out.
