im converting my 65 gal marine aquarium into a freshwater planted. moving all my corals into a nano. im selling all my larger fish and plan to buy some freshwater fish with this money. i have a 10 gal planted tank that im really enjoying and plan to move it all into the 65.

in the 65 i plan for a school of 30 or so neons. many cherry shrimp and some amano shrimp.

i would very much like to add a discus or two. what do i need to know? my ph seems to run 7.6 even with some CO2 added. my alkalinity is high, we use well water. i plan to add RO water to adjust the alk.

my biggest concern is if the 65 gal is to small for discus. if i somehow get 2-3, will i have issues with aggression? at a LFS i once worked at, i believe i remember discus would be aggressive towards each other.
