Discus biotope...or at least my version of it...

[Hamza]

Hi all
was going to redo my old annubias only tank and this is what i have managed with it
Tank 36 18 18
Filter 2217
Jager 200w heater at 27
Backdrop by Nauzer (Aquascapes)
Sand is brown quartz sand
Fish 5 angels,30 odd rummy nose,5 cories.
There are some black neons as well which will be sold.
Final fish will be some 4 wild strain or san merah discus
The second picture has bright light which is on for 5 hours a day for the plants.Rest its always got the dull light on.
Fish are being fed frozen artemia,micro pellets,and algae wafers
excel was being dozed in the earlier tank am not sure what to do now.
Any suggestions please do let me know.

Looking good! Can't wait to see it with some Discus

nice but u need to put more plants, not just anubias..

small floating plants too..

 

[jcardona1]

Looks great! I think it would look even better w/o the plants

Are those anubias nana?
Stick some valisneria or echinodorus in there, I think that'll look awesome with discus.

looks pretty good to me, but i see 4 angels not discus

great tank, but it's not a biotope. discus and angels inhabit the same waters and except for some floaters there are no plants. many people like plants for some color and thats fine, but it would be a amazon tank and not a biotope. plants or not, some wilds will look great and should be very comfortable in that tank.
