A very newbie question and I can't find it covered elsewhere in the forum although I'm sure someone more experienced might point me in the right direction....has anyone any experience of using a mirrored background?
I normally use a dark/black background but wanted to try something different and get anyone else's eperiences.
Thanks in advance
Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
I agree with Pat. Notice when discus breeders are living in side by side tanks and they can see one another that they will try to attack those fish that they perceive are going to get at their eggs or fry. I do have tanks side by side where the fish can see one another but I do this to give the fish a sense that they are a part of a larger school and those fish do not try fight but then again they are not now spawning either. If, however, they do spawn then I do have a screen that I can put between the tanks to give the spawning pair privacy.
I seen mirrors on the old Pemco and Metal frame tanks, Discus were more nervous.

Team, as always, considered and experienced advise that I really appreciate.
I'll not be considering mirrors any further, but a simple light coloured background instead.
I appreciate you taking time to reply
