Yes you can keep Discus in an unfiltered tank! Maybe 2 or 3 discus in 1000
gallon tank full of plants might work! The trick of filterless tanks is in
the size of the tank in relation to the fish. Discus being big fish would
need a really big tank to live without the aid of a filter. Filterless tanks
are for small fish unless you have an unlimited budget and unlimited room for
indoor lakes!
