RE: [GSAS-Member] Discus and Angels

["Monica H" <ninita@hotmail.com>]

Hi Scott, I keep angels and discus.  I have 2 tanks that are discus only, 
and another tank that has angels and discus.  I hand feed my discus, and am 
very careful to make sure they get enough food.  The angels are pigs, and 
would eat everything if allowed.  I don't have any aggression problems with 
them though.  Good luck.
Monica
