Red Turquoise Discus
Hey guys I got my self some new discus they are around two or three inches long and they ate the first day I got them they are in a 44g and I was thinking of getting two more but before I went out and bought any more I thought I would ask some other discus owners if they would be ok with some new friends or if I should just get some tetras or somthing else to stick in there!?
Any comments or ideas will do as these are my first discus and I want them to be happy and mabey even breed! Justin

I know it's tempting...maybe one more....but, the thing with Discus is they are Cichlids themselves, after all, and thus are territorial. I'd be patient and see how the two you have get along. Maybe you got lucky and have a male and female already.
Another thing with Discus is....they can be tough to keep. Even the captive bred. The less stress, the better, IMO. Having said that, 4 would be too many, IMO. I used to keep 5 at the most in a 90. Long story short, hold off with just the two and get a small school of tetras, IMO. Cheers,
