    Stay on top of WCS and vac the S*** out of that gravel as much as you can and your fish should be happy. At least until you decide to go sand

    It's def true what they say about sand. Everything just sits right on top making it very easy to clean. Well most everything sure some stuff settles

    I'll be sticking with this set up for a bit since I just swapped everything.

    I keep trying to attach a video of them feeding. It gets compressed, but disappears after I hit upload. Oh well...

    Scott, the forum software will not upload a video. It is not setup to do so. You could create a YouTube account and upload it there. Once the video is uploaded to YouTube grab the link and use it in a post. Here's is how to do that http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...How-to-and-FAQ.

    I recently purchased two additional Discus for my 185 gallon freshwater tank. One is yellow and the other a red checkerboard. I don't know if they are male or female. I placed them in a quarantine tank. Not long after, I noticed they were sick (whiter poop and fin tear) and not eating. The yellow one almost died. Lucky I didn't added them to the main tank. After several weeks of isolation, frequent water changes and medication they recovered, started eating and swimming normally. These two Discus have some peppering. They are swimming and eating the same as the other fish. None of the other Discus are peppered. Anything to worry about?
