    Wild Discus are so much more beautiful than the solid color strains, I love the stripes.
    Well done, when I finish with this 55g shrimp tank, I'm going to start on a South American tank, 75g and Discus are definitely on the list.
    I bred Discus years ago and it is all coming back to me, I can't wait to get it all set up.
    And who sells those T-shirts?

He came out to inspect set up, and food and my other tanks before he wewd😂 let them go...he to gave them to me as well. They were Gorgeous!!

    Beautiful tank, great fish. When I kept discus (20 years ago!), my favorite was my solid brown wild type. All of them loved good quality flakes, so its not surprising to see them like flakes here as well. That said, I usually fed them Hikari discus pellets which they seemed happy to eat as well.

  • @Suislide16

    Cool idea the bottom with plates, nice looking fishes and great story! You may optimize your water change with your overflow: let down the overflow tubing up to e.g. 3/4 of the height. Put a pump hier in timer, once a day the min e.g. 1 min, only job in fact is to start siphon in overflow tubing. Water go down 3/4. Siphon deactivate. Then fullfil slowly the tank. Back to normal. Benefit? Avoid dilution of dropping overflow. Would you have already tested that? Thanks for sharing ;-)
