SamH Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I think that would be heaps cooler. Got any full tank shots at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Discus from the amazon, Kribs from Africa and plants from Asia, not quite a biotope tank. Nice setup nonetheless And Harlequins from Asia. The cories are from the amazon to go with the discus at least. I've always thought biotope type tanks too limiting anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuri08 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 no full tank shots yet.to be honest am not happy with the current set-up at all so is just a mess until i get my new tank when i do will add some pics.so lets say its not a biotope but a multi-tope :smln: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zuri08 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 The Pantopeon? lol wut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 lol wut? It totally ruins the funny if I have to explain it. :an!gry Pan, latin root meaning "All" Tope, from the greek word "Topos" meaning place, as in biotope meaning the region of a habitat associated with a particular ecological community. Eon, referencing "The Pantheon" which includes the latin word "theon" meaning religion. A religious temple/place of worship in Italy dedicated to all the roman gods. Hence "The Pantopeon" which is intended to be translated as "All place religion" or in context could be considered to mean a shrine to all ecologies. Seriously, I'd have thought this didn't need any explanation. :facepalm: :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuri08 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I damn knew you were meaning something like that but was like wait what?you and your puns ira :cofn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Quick question. What cause's the peppery speckled look on the discus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Poor genetics, some people claim it's to do with substrate and tank décor but that's not correct in my opinion. Also some of the discus look kind of stunted/deformed this is usually from not enough water changes whilst they are still young and not enough food. Good news is they can still come right with correct feeding and regular water changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 They look good in a group though, I like seeing a decent group of the same type of discus, looks more natural in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuri08 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 it varies with the peppering like these guys peppering will completely disperse in low light with mixed in fish like blue diamond it seems to come out aswell.and with a dark background and decor makes it come out also.its not these fishes genetics that have caused peppering they were raised in dark environments.heres the parents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
