Hey guys I ordered a 55 gal corner bow for my room. i want to put discus in there. I want to put in a freshwater stingray (still looking for one that won't grow too big) and from there I don't know what else can i put it there. I'm thinking of putting live plants in there to help keep the water stabilized.
what can i put with discus??

There are no freshwater stingrays that stay small enough for a tank that size. A pair of german blue rams, a trio of apistos, or some cardinal tetras would be nice.
Unfortunately there are none. They all require very large tanks. If there were, I suspect they'd have to add a Stingray forum. :grinyes:
male mollies can be nippy, and they like hard water.
black ghost knives get far to alrge
it depends on what kind of rasboras, loaches, plecos, gouramis, and barbs you are talking about.
platies can work, but they really like a higher pH than what discus prefer. same with swordtails and guppies.
sharks are not a good idea to have in a discus tank. they are a bit to aggressive.
crabs and lobsters will not work because most crabs available are brackish and need some type of way to get onto dry land, and lobsters are to aggressive.
puffers shoudlnt be kept with discus or really any community fish. to nasty.
cardinals are not the best idea either, for a fully grown discus will easily eat one. rummynose tetras would be a better idea.
Even an 80g would be too small. Black ghost knives grow to 20" long, and need a tank twice that big.
