First off i would like to say that this site and everyone here has been a great help and provided a wealth of knowledge and help. OK time for some brain picking
1) I have read repeatedly not to use carbon filters as they make discus prone to disease, but what about useing the amonia rocks (white stuff next to the boxes of activated carbon at the LFS) is that ok to use? I dont have any amonia probs but it wouldnt hurt to pull as much out/keep it as low as possiable right? or just avoid it all together?
2) I have just got my new (to me) 90g tank settled in and just about cycled to where it is stable enuff to go hunt down some nice WC blues/royal blues. i currently have 3 long fin BN pleco's, 6 coreys (forgot their name but they are orange with a black stripe), a mob of 18 rummy noses and a little female beta (im a sucker for a good lookin lady
) i seem to frequently running into storys about WC discus murdering/bullying every other fish in the tank, however my buddy has a community like this with domesticated discus and it works great, should i be conserned about getting WC's for a community? or should i just get domesticated ones so my other fish dont get merced?
