40 gallon planted tank

[christofficer3]

never mix discus with angelfish. keeping such closely related species together can cause pathogens to move between these two quickly. angelfish often have parasites and pathogens inside of their bodys that they can tolerate that discus cannot.

[oscarthewhale]

Aren't Serpae Tetras fin nippers? Do they bother the discus and the angels?

[lilomangoboi]

do you change your water for your discus as much as they recommend? I'm looking into getting some, but water changing is making me feel iffy about getting some discus.

[Rhys2010T]

@lilomangoboi Some people recommend about a 30% water change every week but i do mine about every week and a half to two weeks and do about a 30% and my discus seem to be doing fine

Hi what lighting are you using cause your tank is beatiful and i would love to have a great planted tank like yours!

[Purality]

What kind of lighting do you have? And that tank is overstocked, but if you can keep the water good enough for discus I don't see why other people need to complain.

[Brahmantotem]

Does it seem a bit crowded?

[Brahmantotem]

that seems a bit crowded.

Hey Dave sweet tank. What's the name of that plant that's taking over your tank? and are u running co2 or peat?

[davidsspace]

thanks... the plant is called wisteria. it swill seriously grow in any condition. i gave some to a friend and he has no co2, but decent lighting and it's swarming his tank. i do use a co2 system, but no peat

[pbdude725]

[ObsessedWithSerpents]

awesome man 5 stars :-)

[davidsspace]

thanks :)

[RaeMarie518]

Wow, that is awesome! I wouldnt want to clean that bad boy =D

[davidsspace]

lol... thanks rae marie :) there really isn't much to clean. the plants, shrimp, and fish do most of the cleaning and whatever they don't clean the filter and small weekly water changes do the rest.

[BallPythonLuver]

The plants in there look amazing, awesome tank!

[giggis09]
