My Fish

I'm saving now to get 2 more discus, but this is my start. As you can see some of my plants are new, like the sword, but this shouldn't take long to grow... I'll have some update pics in few months,.

Thanks for looking guys,

Very nice indeed, I have always liked planted tanks.

A very nice start and when the plants fill in it will look great. Be careful you have a lot of light over the tank. Your discus will also look better when they get bigger. Good luck ED

Thanks for everyone's comments... its a work in progress... .. i'll keep the pics update when fish and plants start growing!

looks great. i think the top of that stump would look amazing with some flame moss right on top or it, or a small java fern.

just a side note, fresh water flounders need marine water when they are adults so don't feel too sore about it if it only lasts a year or two.

I've had java moss in the past on that log.. it looks nice... i might consider it again..i'll do a search on flame moss... i've never heard of that... as for the flounder. .. i've had him for id say about 4 yrs now.. he's the size of a silver dollar. I had 2 but one got stuck between a rock and the glass.. grrr.. i felt bad.. i had him them together for about. 2 yrs... it was a sad loss.. but this solo flounder is doing fantastic....

thanks Katt~
