    Dear All: I desperately need help with a disease outbreak in my main tank. I have a 200 ltr (5ftx 2ft x 1.5ft) tank (with 3 sunsun canister filters 2000 lph and 1 SOBO 1000 lph. with UV, total capacity 100 ltr more). The tank is moderately planted. It has 17 Discus, cardinal tetra, siamese algae...

    Has anyone ever purchased fish from Discus.com out of Brooklyn?
  3. Equipment
    I know two smaller heaters are usually recommended for a larger tank. I'd like to get a brand with a remote thermostat as it just seems easier to manage. Any recommendations? TIA, Roy

    My glossostigma, which has struggled in an area too shaded by taller stem plants, has adapted by sending runners forward off the soil substrate into the open sand where it's less shaded at the front of the tank. It's been spreading like crazy to the front glass and to the right, but is already...

    My husband and I went through a traumatic tank cycle-crash a few weeks ago with our 125 g. Long story short, after a big water change the tank's nitrite level spiked, and despite doing a 2nd water change immediately, the next morning we woke up to find most of the small fish gasping at the...

    I'm wondering if SAEs could tolerate living in a discus tank; mainly because the tank is kept around 82 or 83 degrees (F). The tank is a moderately planted 125g and contains 8 discus. I love SAEs and keep several in my 30g and 75g, but both of those tanks are kept around 78 to 79 degrees for...

  9. General Planted Tank Discussion
    Hello! So I have decided to set up a centerpiece discus tank. This is my first DISCUS tank, so I came here for some advice. My plan is to have a 50-60g tank. I found the Marineland 56g column tank and that is exactly what I want. I was gonna do 4-5 marlboro/snakeskin discus. For scape, I was...

    Hello! After cutting my last projects short (West African Biotope) and moving into a different house, it's time to start fresh with a 210 gallon tank. (84" x 24" x 24") Not sure what I want to do, but I'm leaning towards these options: Discus tank? Rainbow Fish Tank? High Tech Community Tank...

    Back from hiatus. I know I am doing the unconventional way of growing Discus: planted, not bare-bottomed and semi-Walstad. Also I got a couple with stunted growth and what might be, but hopefully not, a runt (Blue Diamond in the photo). I also have a quite a snail infestation - most likely due...

    I set up a 150 gallon planted tank this summer with the interest of making it a discus aquarium. Last week I bought a discus (2") and he has been doing fine. Today, I bought two more, one that's the same size and one that's 1.5". Unfortunately, the one that I had first has been nipping and...
