Recent shipment of wild discus included one Nanay green, or as it now turns out, half a Nanay green. So tiny, but ballsy, one of the most active fish in the qt.

Quick shot from today. The pistia are not letting a lot of light through, need to harvest a few buckets next water change

After the harvest. There will be light.

And I’ve just noticed how far this one has come since I got him a bit over a year ago (ignore the ott red pigmentation , will disappear soon)

You have amazing setups and some very beautiful fish.
Scored some nice Scleromystax barbatus for my greens tank today. Things are looking up in the fish species availability department here in Dubai. Always wanted those, very happy to have found them. Now need some Brochis....

Glad for you, keep the photos and the info coming about these less frequently seen species
The Scleromystax barbatus is an amazing corydoras sp., but will be very short lived at discus temperatures. They should never be kept above 77 degrees.

Fair enough. Looking at other species from the exact same locations their temperature “requirements” vary largely, and from experience I can say that these numbers are neither always accurate nor set in stone. My tanks are all at the lower end of the Discus temperature range, with a max of 82-83, going down to 79/80 during the winter.
I do however genuinely appreciate your concern and am always happy to get these kind of comments and constructive “criticism”. And I’ll keep you guys posted on their progress.

Just a heads up, I know they are very expensive. Best luck to you.
PH crashed in this tank a few days ago, 4.7
Noticed because the fish developed pretty nasty ammonia burns over night.
It’s fixed now, but this is what the fish looked like that day (weird though, their behavior did not change one bit, begging their burnt little butts off):

Got some Angels in with the greens, they were supposed to be altums, but they are not. What are they?
