Hi all,
I'm considering changing my 90g into a discus tank, and i was wondering what is the highest temperature that Centromochlus perugiae and Centromochlus reticulatus can handle? I would hate to have to re-home them.
Thanks.

Re: Centromochlus perugiae/reticulatus temperatures
I think these catfish could handle Discus temperatures but once they go in the tank it may be the last time you'll ever see them unless you keep Discus in bare tanks.
If you do use bare bottom tanks at least add some bog wood and caves for the catfish.
I keep wild Discus and those in display tanks are over a thin substrate and I pot rooted plants in Gladware food storage containers. I set up breeding pairs in bare bottom tanks. Sometimes I keep a few small, ~1-1/2 inch . They help clean up left over food off the bottom and have never attempted to eat the Discus spawns. A common Bushy nose will eat algae and are fine if under 1-1/4 inches but larger than that they will eat Discus eggs.
