Welcome to APC

Your tank is very nice! I like plant choices you made along with the combo of colors. The Discus fits right in.

Very pretty! I would only suggest that you "fill in" the background a bit. Your driftwood is amazing, and I love it! I also agree that the discus is beautiful.....nice job, Pereiro!

What about your tank specifications? What type of lighting, plants, fish, etc.? Tell us about it!

Amazing tank...I hope to achieve something like that one day. Do you have a blue background or what is giving the blue color?

Plants are some of my favorite, especially the rotala macrandra
