L14 and Discus

Post by Mario »

I would like to house in my 500 liters Discus aquarium a L14 young, with the discus today there are L128, L200, L191, L187 and L177 and they get along very well.
Does any boys has experience introducing a L14 to the above
All opinions and remarks are welcome.
Thank you

Can you tell us how long you've kept the L-numbers you already have and what sizes they are?

Cheers,

They look pretty settled, which is why I was wondering.

I don't have any experience of keeping barbs with discus in a bare-bottomed pleco tank, so I don't think I'd be much help in answering the question.
