RE: discus gills

[Gary.Johnson@netupdate.com]

Mine were aquarium bred. But everything I have read about Discus says the
temp is even more critical with the wild caughts. Depending on the apistos
they may like the warmer temp. We had Altispinosas (sp?) that were very
happy in the warm water. We also had several cardinals and a few corys. I
don't know about the rasboras or the black phantoms as I have never had any
of them. Since we were basically doing just discus in the tank we made sure
to purchase fish we thought could handle the warmer temps. We had good luck
with Cacatuoides, Kribs, Zebra Plecs, Cardinals, and Rainbows (These were
too agressive though!), and a few others that I can't think of right now.

Gary, Were your discus wild or aquarium bred? It would sure be nice to just
go home and turn up the heaterstat rather than medicate, which I understand
is really to be avoided. Will my corys, rasbora hengeli, black phantoms, and
apistos suffer at the higher temp?
