Both my wife and I are thinking some Discus for the fauna but not 100% sure on that. I have always wanted to try them but not sure what scape would be good for them. I think this may ba a good choice with the sand forground. What are all your thoughts on fauna?

what no one wants to chime in with a fauna choice?

I suggest no to discus, how about a huge school of ember tetras, maybe rummy nose? Neons would look sweet too!

I dunno but this discus is very tempting

I'm a fan of small fish in these tanks. Big fish just throw the scale off IMO.

That said, that's a nice discus in your AquaBid link.

I also won't recommend discus for this tank. You need to keep at least discus in groups (at least 3) and 3 is too many for a tank this size. You'll end up having to do lots of water changes and algae outbreaks can happen very easily if neglected. Perhaps sticking to schools of small tetras would be nicer.

the tank is 58 gallons. I figured 3 would be the max. Plus I dont plan to have them grow super big like some you see. Maybe 5-6 inch max

wat does the p in 90p mean?

ianiwane · 10-24-2006, 05:55 PM

Its actually more like 48 gallons not 58.
