Beautiful discus!
Add some more plants so you can help keep algae to a minimum and keep us posted!

Very cool! I'm interested to see how that community of Discus get along, I'm pretty new to them. Great selection of fish, but the more cardinals, the better! I have a school of about 20 now, and believe me they get better with quantity. Curious, do you have any "utility" fish: algae eaters or scavengers?

Who knows what's causing the cloudy water, but I bet it will go away soon enough.

I think Jessie may be right. If you run into algae problems, cut down your photoperiod and/or add more plants, plants, plants!

Yes i do! I have a pleco, yamato shrimp and a corydoras to help me.

The Discus all get along real well but there is always the a king an a low one so don't go with only 2 of them if you planning on getting some. I will add more cardinal in a near future we had problem with them at the petstore where i work so i am waiting for the problem to go away don't want to kill mine.

ARE THOSE GOLDFISH IN W/ THE DISCUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they need outa there now! the discus should be kept at temps of 84-90F and goldfish will die quickely in those conditions. also, how big is that tank it looks like there is a lot of discus in it compared to the tank size.
