my tank is bare bottom, not a fan of decorating aquarium.

I get it.... It's a lot of work and time too keep a community tank with decorations, live river rock, other schools. But I'm the kind of guy who doesn't put my dobie in a kennel for most of its life either. As for fish bioligy, just had a doctor tell me that small mouth bass can't eat trout schmolts due too having a small mouth. Interesting

Beautiful fish. Immaculate tank. What I'm getting at is building an ecosystem in a tank like mine takes years and it will hyper grow fish. Here are the oscars that got removed for the discuss. Tank and all are going too a friend . And yes these oscars are less than 1 year old and were in a community tank bio filtered. Decorated , current. No problems. No diseases. Bacteria is great for a tank. Just takes time

If size matters here is a measurement of 2 one year olds

I am planning on getting 10 2" discus from him here in the next couple of weeks. I will let you know then. Cheers

Let me know also. I am planning a planted discus 240. I have noticed his prices and wonder how good his fish are.

Since you asked to see pics of BB tanks:

Here is a fast pic of my BB starboard discus tank. Custom 180 with external overflow - 18 tony tan discus (well 2 Stendker). All under a year old and when taken out of the tank and measured are 5.5" total length already. Automatic waterchanges with RO/DI water plus pothos and peace lilies growing out of sump. Recently added a 3rd kessil light so less shadows on the wood and 3 sets have now started breeding, I saw babies in the tank but they didn't last long, but was cool to see the eggs hatch at least.

It's hard to see the 2ft depth of the tank with the plants growing on the wood and rock in the pic.

Here is a previous 120 bb tank. The discus here were still smaller growing out.

Guys. Growout your discus first, please! They are often stunted in planted aquariums because during the growth stage they produce huge amounts of debris and nitrate that ideally needs a bare bottom tank to keep on top of.
