i dont have a bigger tank to upgrade to except my 45 gallon tank but it has 2 marble angelfish a figure 8 puffer fish 3 clown loaches 2 rams 1 hifin pleco and 2 glofish, so that tank is pretty much full plus i would think the angels would beat up on a discus. once i move i have convinced the wife that i need a bigger tank so maybe i'll have to wait to get a discus when we move.

You need a 90g tank with a group of 6 discus for them to do well.

Discus are VERY sensitive fish. It's not just about the water changes, it's about keeping water parameters perfect too. If you've never owned them before I recommend doing a ton of research first. Of course we'll all help you out as well Smile
