discus questions

hold the phone im not slamming anybody but does anyone agree with me that angels and card. tetras bad idea down the road.Tasty treat for angels when larger.

I did a lot of research on this topic...and on advice decided to go with cardinals and angels together. I got the cardinals medium sized and grew them out for a few months, then when they were about 1.5 inches + or more, I got small angels (so they got used to the cardinals as not being food).

So far so good.

I think the thing is, cardinals have a shorter lifespan, so if/when I ever have to replace the cardinals, I will have to purchase big ones as adding new smaller fish may trigger the angels to realise they are potential food...
 
I hope this works out for you maybe its like the cat and dog growing up together thing.When you have to replace some cards. u can also just grow them out a lil in a seperate tank then add them to your main display.
