New Change for........

[haynchinook334]

A 180gal. Since I'm acquiring a discus from a fellow member, My wife wants to start a discus tank. So here is what we got.
10 x Penguin Tetras
10 x Red eyed Monks
10 x Black neon tetras
20 x neon tetras.

Also picked up 4 other fish which i will post in there rightful places.

What size are the discus you are getting? If they're not bigger than 4 inches, then please keep them in a barebottom setup for now with a few driftwoods as refuge. Keep your feeding and water change routine consistent as they tend to be less forgiving to water conditions than adults.

Thanks for the input Lupin, 6'' in the size of the discus. I know at a small age they can be very fragile more or less like pbass at 2''.

Ahh..Should work well already in a planted tank setup. Those tetras will definitely work except the neons. Neons will work but not where temperature is the main concern. Neons just cannot tolerate warm temperature so cardinals would a much better alternative in this case.

Off to the store to get some Cardinal. Red will add color to the tank. I plan on keeping at 85.
