Discusguru Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Tank have been set up for 10 weeks. 2nd week have to deal with BGA. Then all hell broke loose and algea everywhere. Took me 6 weeks to get it under control. Discus have been in there for 1 week now and are settling in. Every now and then they look abit dark and stayed at the back corner (probably due to the bright lights. Lighting are 1 double tube T5HO and 2 double tube T8. Fish : 4 discus (eventually will be 10-12) all spotted. 5 otto 4 cories 2 SAE 2 bristtle nose 1 lg male gba 1 gold nugget 10 cardinals 4 clown loach co2 sera filter : aquios 2200 gravel : JBL plant base with bright water gravel on top and finally a thin layer of Seachem Flouride on top.

Faran Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Nice mate, did all the plants I sent settle in well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Ronnie-- which is the barthi and how big do they grow? I bought a couple that had been grown emersed and I am getting them back to submersed and the new leaves seem massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Blue, a couple of them are. Don't like the swords that are grown emersed so took it out. Alanmin, the barthi will grow hhuge. Took some new pic after rearranging the plants and added 17 gold tetra and another 2 ottos. and this in the front anyone know what this plant is might put this one in gold tetra, new addition ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antwan Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 If you're talking about the stem plant, it's a colour form of Hygrophila polysperma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
