Howdy Discus Lovers...
I have been raising Discus for about a year now. Many of you have seen my posts and I had the pleasure of meeting many of you in person at the NADA show in June.
The big change in my tank since last update is I have removed my plants and have switched to artificial plants. Since doing so, I no longer dose water table fertilizer and the entire biome is much healthier... no more major combat with algae. I never let it get the best of me but maintenance is greatly reduced. My Discus are very healthy and still spawn every week. The other is I no long have any dwarf cichlids or Hatchets but I intend to replenish. I do have approximately 100 small shoaling tetras (Cardinals, Rummies, Neons and Glo Lights)... and the display they make with Discus is very impressive.
My next post will be a full lessons learned over the last year... WQ, species compatibility, plants, dosing and equipment.
Here are my updated photos...
