This is Don in Virginia, just joined. I'm also Don in Virginia on Simply Discus, and the REASON I came over here is: I'm in the need for some tankmates for my discus, and I would much rather purchase from CCA members than from LFS.

Nobody over at Simply seems to have much for sale right now, so I thought I'd ask here for possible sellers of discus-friendly and 84 degree F friendly fish. Rummy nose, rams, corys, and such.

Any suggestions? Many thanks! -Don

84° is too warm for Corydoras as is in fatal - I keep Steatocranus and bumblebee cats and A. heckelii with mine at 80°. Don't have anything that really fits that temperature range other than Hemichromis guttatus but am sure others will present options. You keep anything besides discus?

Just a couple plecos, but as I am woefully ignorant of all fish names other than discus, I can't tell you what they are! I used to keep rams and rummy nose, and cardinal tetras with my discus, no problem. I'm pretty sure I had some cory's, too, maybe they were temp-resistant . . .

Welcome to the forum. Check with Frank Cowherd on the rams. He is breeding both the regular and blue color variants.

So who actually has successfully kept/is keeping C. sterbai at 84°?

I do like that Andrew has a group of 18 - that's the way to do it.

Yes, I kept Sterbai with my discus for about 2years+/- Kept the tank at 84-85
I got rid of the discus and changed to angels and tetras.
Then they were in the Angel tank for a couple years at 77F.
Got rid of most of them. There were a few I could not catch. T
hey now are still in that tank but with Malawi grow outs.

Well alright then

Good to have confirmation - something else must have done my in, they just went slowly downhill from the very beginning. Should've got some of Mistah Cowherd's.
