great photos, thanks for sharing. What's the longest you owned one discus. How many years did it last?

Hi Kenneth,
Thank you.
The longest I've had is 7 years. I gave it away so I believe it lived longer.

Once again, everyone on this forum has such wonderful tanks! All I am is a forum skulker that is trying to have success with a 55 gallon paludarium that is currently being planned in my head.

Wonderful job and BEAUTIFUL fish!

Very nice clean tank, it looks like pertrified tree rock you got there in places laying on its side. I think that would look better going up and down instead of sideways. That bit of large wood you have in there looks good the way you have it set up, I think large wood peices like that work great in a big tank

I'll take your advice into consideration.
The large drifwood is actually drilled in the center with a 1" pvc pipe as an overflow.

I love your tank. Do you have problems with keeping the substrates apart?
