Here's the rundown:
50gal
Eheim canister 2028
195W pc lighting
CO2 injection - 20lb tank/metering valve/internl reactor
1 year established
loaded with plants
4 ottos
2 clown loaches
2 blue rams
4 mollies (will go away as I get new fish)
2 SAE
11 yamato shrimp
1 cory
pH 6.6
Temp 75 - 81 fluctuates
KH 7
GH 7
CO2 approx 56ppm (keeping the algae at bay)
regular fert dosing
I am thinking of adding 1 discus to the aquarium. Is the temp too low? Is the pH not low enough? What else? I really want to have 1 nice, smaller discus to accent the plants. I know that I can take care of it to a good quality of life, however I do not want to adapt the entire tank for 1 fish. Will a new discus adapt to my current conditions? I have read alot about them, but I would appreciate advice from someone that has owned them. Thanks
