Discus Overload!

[jacobfata]

My ten babies.. I’m waiting on them to pair off, hopefully eventually. And then narrow down the collection. The aquarium is a 90 gallon with a built in sump filter and I’ve. Ph steady 7.8. 86f. Twice weekly 50% water changes. As pictured too lol. Let me know what you all think of my babies!

I’m trying to give the bright lighting a chance. It looks good in photons and I’m sure it’s good for the Christmas moss but i feel like they are more comfortable in deeper and darker colors.. and they still lolOk beautiful to me.. Someone please give me the validation I’m seeking lol. This is my first time with discus. What do you guys think?

Why don't consolidate all in 1 thread?

I think the lights too bright for the fish, espEcially with the white sand and quartz reflecting it back up at them. It's very different to their natural environment. If you want them to pair up and breed it may be affecting them and stressing them which won't help.
Looks nice as a display but personally I'd drop the light levels and try to make the tank a bit more natural and you might get them pairing up.

Design the scape and lighting to replicate nature and the fish will definitely be happy. To me it's the equivalent of a padded white room with bright lights and nothing to interact with. Doesn't look appealing for the fish at all.
