OH my GOSH! Absolutely stunning! The tank on it's own is beautiful, but those Discus are just mystifying! Would you mind sharing more of your other tanks too?
Thank you for the compliments.

I have approximately 3000 gallons of tanks in my garage. I import discus monthly and have the opportunity to get the best Discus in the market. I do have a passion for planted tank and it's nice to see discus co-habitate with tetras without getting eaten.

Visit my website and see the other discus planted tank i've created.

A really lovely tank! But somehow every time I look at a planted tank the discus always looked like it was pasted in the picture. Not saying that it is. It just looked that way to me. :) Are there any solid green discus variety. IMO.. I think that would blend in more. But that's just my opinion. :)

Update the tank. I removed a few plants to create more swimming space for Discus. The other discus started to pair up and stablish territories. The pair started beating up the others causing unjuries so I removed them. I added these sub-adult Marbled Blue Diamonds. The tank is now more peaceful.

Does this make it difficult to keep a large group of discuss over a long period of time?

Have to say I completely agree that blue colored fishes fit best in planted tanks, spatially Blue Diamonds like yours. Awesome tank.

Would you be so kind to inform about lighting, temperature, chemistry and nutrients levels in this tank.

Regards,
