Had to redo the discus tank - Aquarium Advice

**Zagz** · 05-26-2008, 10:52 PM

Due to algae issues and I wanted to rehome my kuhli loaches to the 135, have you ever tried to catch loaches in a fully planted tank?

Somewhat crappy before pic.

Now, once it all grows in better it should be ok.

Should look nice all grown in.

You know, I dread the day I have to catch all these fish out of my 125. lol.

I hd a hard time catching the kuhli loaches out of my 10 gal bare bottom tank....lol. I do NOT envy that task...what an adventure that must have been!

The tank looks nice though.

A few more pics.

Tank looks a lot lighter and more open. Nice!

Is that anubias buried in substrate at the front? Surely not!

Very cool, and I know what you mean about catching fish. It takes quite a bit of patience. Can't wait to see the tank all grown in.

Nicely done Anne.

Looking good Anne, your discus should be very happy.

To catch 7 kuhli loaches I ended up having to remove everything from the tank! What an ordeal. Glad I don't have to do that very often. It made the tank quite cloudy for a while. And loaches are not the most cooperative.

Very nice, can't wait to see it fill in. Love those giant discus as well!
