I've set up quite a few fish tanks, but I recently got my first decently large tank set up of my very own. Its custom made and dimensions, but lets just say its 71-72 gallons.
I currently have a spotted severum who is currently about 6 inches long:
And I love him very much. Really cool personality, and gorgeous fish. This tank is in the family living room, and I am having some MAJOR requests from family members if they can buy this Discus they saw at the store. Its pretty similar to this picture:
Anyways, I've never had the luxury of being able to buy the more expensive types of fish (my severum was 55 I think?).. so I'm not quite sure if these two can share a home. I know Severums can be decently peaceful but, and I know every fish is different, so I guess I'm concerned about the space? Thoughts?
