[db2inst1]

Beautiful fish. I have two Red Panda's that didn't have much peppering either but once in my tank with black flourite as the substrate. They two developed a lot of peppering also. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful job you have done with the scaping ;) how big are your discus now? I assume they are around 3-4", and how are you finding at that size they are working out in a planted tank?

[db2inst1]

Thanks, Yea its about 3 - 4". Its been good since the past two days, they been acting weird after the addition of the Yellow discus. Staying near the surface all the time, and not eating well.

Have moved them to a bare bottom tank now and added some penicillin tabs. Hopefully they will make it :(

Sorry to hear that, what symptoms are they showing? I found with discus you definitely have to QT all new ones that you get, I have learned the hard way too many times by adding them straight into the tank. Hopefully they make it.

I like your setup, especially the driftwood looks good in the tank

They have been on the surface and not eating. I lost two of them, rest look good in the Barebottom tank. I am going to keep them there for now.
