Discus Fish
Can a discus fish be kept with a spotted puffer fish?
The tank is 95 gal. slightly brackish. The puffer is already living well with varies other fish, but has attacked other fish and snails. These fish had to be saved immediately. Discus fish are beautiful and I would love to add one to my tank.
Nope. That would actually be a very bad idea for several reasons. Not only are they completely incompatible tankmates, but discus need very clean, pure water without any salt. They can’t live in a brackish tank. GSPs are (as I think you know) aggressive little snots that will rip fins and chunks from tankmates that aren’t puffers, and they won’t hold back simply because their tank mate happens to be particularly beautiful and expensive.
Discus should be kept in groups of about five or six to prevent bullying, or in breeding pairs. You can keep them with peaceful dwarf cichlids like Bolivians or German blues and with shoals of tetra (like Cardinals) as dither fish. Rainbowfish also apparently make good tankmates. The puffer would be a definite no though. A 95 gallon would be a great discus tank, but since they’re so particular (no carbon filters either) you pretty much have to set up and plan the tank specifically for and catered to the discus, not add one to an existing tank and hope it adapts.
