My new 190g discus biotope

[Swedgin]

Hi, just some quick pics of my newly set up 190g tank. There are currently 14 sterbai in there, 6 discus and some Mesonauta sp. to move in over th weekend. Still debating wether to add rummy noses or cardinals. Will post some better Pics once the fish are in, need some help with discus strain id.

I'm lovin' the 3d background. Did you make it or buy it?

Bought it on ebay. The pics dont do it justice, looks really good. Fish are in the tank now, love the way it looks and will put up some better pictures when my pc is back up.

Stock so far:

5 discus (3 more still in qt)
9 Mesonauta sp, 1 1/2 inch
2 Apisto. agassizi
16 Corydoras sterbai (12 more still in qt)

Still to come:

4-5 discus
30-40 cardinals or rummy noses
15 Corydoras panda ( already in qt, going in on sunday)

Still looking for some bristle noses but no avail here at the moment

Will do a proper write up on filtration etc when i get some time

Once the Mesonauta are grown a bit more they will move into their own tank

tank is sweet. keep you eye on the festivums. I had four with my wild discus (adults) and everything was fine until they got to aroung 4". although I never saw any aggression towards the discus they took over the front of the tank. my discus would just hang in the back. as soon as I removed them, the discus were all over the tank again. bn's are great while young. the problem is the learn that it's easier to eat the food being put in the tank than to eat the algae. I had one adult that crapped more than all the other fish combined. got rid of him too. just giving you a heads up.

That's a sweet looking set-up. Some Wilds would look AWESOME in there.............

How much did that background cost you? I'd like to get one for my 180 tank, I don't like the boring black background
