    Your tank is beautiful!

    I don't mean this as a smart... butt...
    But do you think you can possibly cover all the surfaces? What about all the glass?

    Thanks. I guess it’ll be a case of whack-a-mole but at least they wouldn’t be establishing territory in the middle of the tank which would be an improvement!

    I have a half a five gallon bucket of Java moss to trade for a few discus if you want to try to cover everything. I think eventually you will become more frustrated than the discus with the whack a mole approach.
    I think the best long term solution is all male or female.
    The tank is Beautiful. A Fantastic job in all aspects, equipment, aquascaping, and livestock.

    Cliff, not 100% sold on that. I've TOTALLY seen young young females I've had damn near cease growing because of way early laying... but they still noticeably grew in length... just took forever (and may have caused them not to reach length they would've hadn't they decided to be naughty, young floosies who stopped eating to spawn, fan, See eggs get eaten, spawn again, so on and so forth).
