Discus Fish Order
Discus Fish Order
Help-Fish compatibility ?
I ordered a custom fish tank… Its 2.5-1.5-1.5 with 8mm glass
I am confused which fishes should I choose & about compatibility too..I am beginner so need your help.
Following are my favorite fishes:
Arowana
Discus
ourami
Blackghost
Sucker Fish
Redcap
Parrot Fish
Ghost Shrimp
Snails
I know that arowana grow so big & it wont be perfect choice for my tank but though I just listed it.
Tell me the possible combinations considering compatibility,I don’t want to keep very small fish in size nor bigger ones & I am also not willing to keep more than 1 pair of each type of fish.
Thanks a lot

You need to do some proper research into which type of fish you like and want to keep.
Your tank will hold around 42 gallons which means you are probably best keeping smaller species. There are some gouramis that will be suited to a tank of this size and also some plecs (sucker fish). Shrimp and snails will be fine but your tank size rules out the rest of your list it is too small for a Black Ghost Knife, Arrowana, and Parrot fish. By redcap I’m assuming you mean a red cap oranda which is a cold water fish, the others on your list are tropicals which need a heater fitting to keep the water between 25 and 28 centigrade.
Have a look at a website called aqadvisor.com and see what it says about the compatibility of the fish you are looking at. Also look at http://www.beginners-fishkeeping.com/ as this explains everything you need to know about starting a fish tank for the first time.
Good luck and don’t be shy about asking questions on here there is a good community of knowledgeable contributors.
