Had to redo the discus tank

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.

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.

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.

I just saw several kinds of discus up close for the first time today at a new (to me) LFS. They really are something special. I wish I had a tank large enough for them...

Hi,

I've been flicking through my set of Amano aquascaping books in the last few days for some inspiration for a new project ive got coming up.

I've never been into discus before but WOW that man really loves to give them a happy home that actually leads to them breeding etc.

I don't know if you have seen them, am i allowed to scan some pics and post them being they are copyrighted material?

John
