A very interesting interview! Since I'm new and dumb to discus...here is the question? If the flow is so strong in their natural enviroment, then why do I always see and read about virtually no flow tanks??
thanks

[Ralph]

Hi Chicki and welcome,
Good question. I think that it may be one of the discus commandments that got started early on and has taken a life of it own. There was a similar question on another thread a long time ago and almost all the responders said that their discus seem to like to play in the filter/powerhead outflow.
I thought that it was also interesting that the flow rate changes significantly during the inundation from the rainy season.
Best thing you can do is offer them a choice, half to 2/3s of my tank is calm and about 1/3 has flow from a box filter. They spend most of the day in the flow and night is mostly in the calm section.
