    New to Discus :)

    Thanks mate, advice taken :) Doing a water change later so will get pics then (tanks a little yellow due to drift wood). Discus tend to stay at the back when the lights are on, little shy as their only 3" but im sure they will start coming out for photo shoots soon!

    Not my choice this time around mate, dont have any kids either. I got the go ahead on a salty tank provided the missus could choose the fish! I havent let her have any say over my FW set-up ha. Anyways, I like them as well
