Most of the fish you have listed go together well. Monos are brackish water and need higher salt content than what you have listed. Also your discus will do better in what they call blackwater and should be in a separate tank. There is blackwater tonic on the market, but there is a simple less expesive method and easier to maintain. RECIPE: Go to a local garden center and buy the smallest bag of Peat Moss available. Cut the foot off of an old pair of panty-hose. Stuff peat moss in the foot that you cut off. Tie a knot in the open end and rinse out the bag that you have made. Squeeze out the excess water and place the bag in your outside filter. Hope this helps. IP: Logged |
