Need Help!!! Silver dollar tankmates.

[Dean]

New plans again for 90 gallon

-6 silver dollars

-2 firemouths

-8 cories (any sudgestion on which type?)

-10 larger tetras (which type?) Benous aries maybe?

will firemouths bother cories? smaller and less agressive tetras are not good with firemouths right?

Highly reccomend Parrot Fish Cichlids . Friendly, curious and always entertaining. Each face has it's own assymetry and they get along brilliantly with Silver Dollars.

 

[Dean]

no offence but i think Parrot Cichlid look kinda gross, like a mutant.

 

[gregg604]

LOL... What's everybody got against mutants? Besides personality goes a long way, and these fish are more entertaining than alot of other fish in my tank.

But at 12" their just too big for a 90 gallon.

How about a Discus? I think they would do fine. IF you have questions check out 125gjoes tanks, he used to 80gjoe. He has some very nice discus and has a great looking tank. I know you are talking about doing a plant tank, you can not do plants with Silver dollars, they tend to love the stuff and would clean your tank bare.

I get the kind of felling that discus are hard to care for, very picky about their water. The water they like is the total opposite of what comes out of my tap. They need ro water. I'll save geting discus for a couple years when I get my 150+ gallon tank (THE AMZON RAINFOREST TANK) it will be sweet, till then i can only dream.
