Selecting tankmates for discus fish is not easy. You need something that is capable of withstanding the higher temperatures of a discus tank, something that isn't going to be eaten as the discus get bigger, and something that isn't going to nip! https://t.co/gZYdZ2iI2i

While these snails are not predatory, they do produce a stringy substance that acts like a web coming from their self-made tube. The substance is used to catch algae and detritus, but if this substance is discharged near corals, it will irritate them, cau https://t.co/eKrqKLpC50

They are completely reef safe, they will not bully other fish, or pick at corals. They can become territorial with other sand-sifting gobies, especially those of it's own kind, but they can be kept in a tank as a mated pair. https://t.co/xzqfp1pHVT

These beautifully coloured fish are not considered reef safe. Some people report having a model citizen in their aquarium, but that is the exception rather than the rule. https://t.co/g6lr4nIgwH
