I'd like two or three "Centerpiece" fish for my 90-P. Great flow, good filtration but summer temps have been 80-85 during the day. 78-80 at night.
Is this too small for altums/discus? I am not going to change to water more than 50% weekly to be totally honest, so A: I'm not sure if my tank is big enough at just 50 gallons and B: I'm not sure if my laziness would let me have them, anyway.
I read that juvenile discus secret a hormone that keeps them small, and that's why people obsess over carbon and water changes especially when they are small. I read that if you don't do crazy high % daily water changes, they just won't grow into big dinner plate sizes show specimens. But I don't really care about any of that.... smaller would be better for me. I mean in a hormonal excretion way... not in a stunted way.
I was only even thinking about discus because I've never kept them before, and because of the heat issue. I don't have to have them or anything.
Altums are pretty big I am not really sure if they get too big or not. I'm not sure if angelfish would look weird in a 90-P. I should have went for the 90-H.
I should have went for the 120-H : )
PS: German rams would do well with the heat, but I was hoping for something a little bigger...but not too big. My hunch is that altums and discus are probably way too big....
