Do discus nip at other fish (compatibility)?
I'm getting my first discus Wednesday and I want to make sure its compatible with my other fish. I've never seen it, I don't know how big it is, I don't know anything about the specific fish I'm ordering. All I know is that its called a green snakeskin and I can still cancel the order by tomorrow.The fish I fish I have now are:- 2 silver dollars- 1 very old blue gourami - 3 albino corydoras- 2 golden wonder killifish (breeding pair)- 1 common pleco- 1 otocinclus1) The gourami doesn't move around much anymore, the pleco is big, but slow, and the Nip Fishing silver dollars only swim around when feeding time is coming up. Would the discus bother these fish since they are slow?2) The killifish are my pride and joy, but I had a previous problem with a kribensis and german blue ram nipping at the sides of the when the killies go down to the gravel to spawn. Will the discus act the same as the krib and ram?If've you have experience with discus in community tanks that'd be great, but all advice would be helpful. Thank you! =]Just incase anyone reads this again.I went through with buying the discus and she/he is doing great. She's medium size at 4 in. and is far more peaceful and beautiful than I ever thought she would be. The only problem is that now she thinks she's a silver dollar and won't even leave my silver dollars' sides even if they're double her size. Where ever they, she is.Today is the first day she's eaten though. The dealer had them on live food only so it took her awhile to accept frozen food and dry food. I'm going to wait a month to make sure I have no problems with her, but I'll definately be ordering another one if all goes well.Thank you guys for the advice! =]*Where ever they are, she is. (I forgot "are".)
