JakeH Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Has anyone done this pairing? From what I have read the silver tips might be too active/nippy. I’m looking to run the tank at about 83/84. Too warm for the tetra? Too cool for discus? It seems like I can find articles/antidotes supporting any stocking decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted May 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted May 13, 2021 I think you'll end up doing a lot of work due to the silvertips. They'll be very quick to the food causing you to have to overfeed to make sure the discus aren't losing weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been teasing out all the specifics for the next tank and would love to take a stab at discus. However-they seem to complicate things-and when I really think about it I might be happier with a few angels and not have to make as many concessions for the discus. I’d probably run into the same problem with the angels... The silvertips will have to wait for the next tank. Are head and taillights slower feeders?
