Take any person off the street and get them to keep discus with out any help. That's a true noob, IMO.
To answer your question directly, you really don't want just one discus by itself. Many discus breeders whose fishrooms I have seen use 20 talls per pair, 55 gallons and up for grow out tanks and unpaired adults. Like any fish, once you do your research and understand the necessary parameters they need, your chances of success will be much better. If you want some really good info. do a google search for Bing Seto, D ick Au and Jack Wattley.FishFreak101 said:i mite be getting 1 discus wat is the minium tank size?
Boy..wouldn't I just like to take you up on that one Nat.....lol....however, the largest tank I have at present is only a 29...and anything larger just isn't in the picture for me right now...(sigh)...HOWEVER...I am going to pick up a couple of dart frogs this weekend...I have a 20long sitting around that needs something in it and I decided to go with something that doesn't need water changes...lol...(OOOO...CAN'T WAIT !)NatakuTseng said:EMG, I have 60ish fry growing out right now, I could give you a heck of a deal if you wanted some, let me know.
