I bought 10 discus fish and they all died?

JK i really didn't i just wanted you to click here.

I have a 29 gallon fish tank with guppies in it, if i put a discus fish in with them will he eat them? I don't care if he eats some, cause they reproduce so fast, but im wondering if he will eat all 20+ of them.

a discus will die in a 29 gallon. Much too small for it.

The discus would need at least a 55 gallon tank, and prefers a high temperature than other tropical fish.

keeping the water quality right in a 29 gallon tank will be impossible unless you do daily water changes, and it is still small to contain fish that can attain 8", the fact that they should be kept in groups of no less than 6 as they're hierarchical fish and the less fish the more likely you are to find that the smallest will die and then the next and so on till you're left with two and if theyre of the same sex you're left with one.
In a larger tank guppies will survive with Discus.

He will eat them all. Fish reproduce every 30 days or so, so thing about it. He will eat 1 – 3 fish a day, maybe more depending on his size. I had a small catfish in my tank, and it ate fish 1/2 it's size, so think about it before you do it.
