rams, cardinal and rummynose tetras, corydoras, and BN plecos
those are the best, there are a few other, but take caution
Discus fish primarily eat a diet of live or frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and blackworms. They may also eat high-quality flake or pellet food specifically designed for discus fish. It's important to provide them with a varied diet to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients.
Yes, discus fish sleep. They are diurnal, meaning they are most active during the day and sleep at night. It's important for their overall health and well-being to have a regular day-night cycle that includes restful periods of sleep.
Discus fish may shiver their fins as a way to communicate with other fish, display dominance or submission, or in response to changes in their environment such as temperature fluctuations or stress. It can also be a sign of illness or discomfort, so it's important to monitor their behavior for any other symptoms.
Crayfish will actually attack fish. It is best to keep them separated.
It is not recommended to keep a dead pregnant fish in the tank as it can decompose and release toxins into the water, putting the other fish at risk. It's best to remove the fish promptly and perform a water change to maintain the water quality.

NO! Discus are very fragile fish- very sensitive Goldfish are messy plus, goldfish like temps in the 60's and discus like them in the 80's i can think of millions of other reasons do discus a favor and never keep them
Discus are not any more difficult to keep than other tropical fish. Proper tank maintenance is required, discus can be shy and somewhat picky eaters if you are feeding them different food than what they are use to. A clean tank is a must when keeping discus, weekly partial water changes are recommended. A high water temperature is required, around 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind, the cost of a discus fish is much more than other tropical fish. Keeping discus fish are not recommended for those who have never had an aquarium setup.
no

No, green terrors are of the acara group who are generally less aggressive than Flowerhorns, which are extremley aggressive piscivorous predators (as opposed to acaras who browse for aquatic inverts etc.). And simply no mixing either of those with discus fish, In my opinion. Flowerhorns especially will easily kill a discus, all of whom are non aggressive
It depends on what type of tropical fish you are intending to keep; it ranges from 6 (freshwater & discus) to 8.5 (for cichlids).
they arent -_-
what any discus eats.
no, discus are very slow moving fish zebras are one of the most active fishes. The zebras would stress the discus so much, they might die. If you want pretty fish that are also small, get cardinal or rummynose tetras.
what fish feed their own young Both the male and the female Discus fish (Symphysodon discus) produce a nourishing slime on their sides/flanks for their fry to devour.
