For those that haven't seen them, I picked up 3 discus to add to the planted tank, and got rid of the tetras and rasboras. Two checkerboard pigeons and a ring leopard. Such graceful fish, enjoy!

but will they be able to compete against the denisonis for food, and the other thing i have noticed is, usually discus become peppered in planted tanks

Thanks! Last night they just started getting interested in food again. I feed frozen brine shrimp which floats everywhere, so I think they should do ok. Those barbs are little pigs though!

As for peppering, yeah I read this is common with pigeon-based discus in planted tanks and/or dark backgrounds/substrates as they try to blend in with their surroundings. Unfortunately, isn't much I can do about it.

great pic love those discus

Thx!
