I can see small floating particles in the water. Just like mine. Is that bad?

[n03lzz]

I think that depends on what causes the particles, but generally there is nothing bad about it.

Maybe your filter isn't packed properly, and instead of filtering the particle it whirls them around.

Hay weird question but do you think gravel or sand is better for a discus fish tank?

[n03lzz]

Sand is much cooler, but i think the discus don't care. It's more important for ground-dwelling fish.

[cieloevely]

gravel is better, if you planning to have plants, in another view the sand take longer to set because fine particles and clog the filter faster, but the main reason for no usin sand it.s beacuse acoording to Jack Wartley the discus expert , sand will have dead spots inside the tank cause the water doesn´t flow on compapct sand and bacteria who eat detritus live on gravel better . you can use a smal gravel about 2 o 3 mm instead

I think the sunfish is better and its not boring

[n03lzz]

That kinda what my homepage banner says:

Discus vs. sunfish. ;)

[n03lzz]

They are some of the most beautyfull fish.

[Benjahmmin]

discus are one of the most boring fishs

[n03lzz]

They are very beautiful but their behaviour is kinda boring.

[blownable]
