I everyone
I thought I should post my tank (finally)
Currently here is my setup tank size roughly 50 gallons 36 x 18 x 18 rimless starphire tank.
5 discus ranging from 3.5" - just over 4" one red turk 2 blue diamonds, one eruption something (I forget the name) and the other one I also dont know the name of anyone know what they are please let me know
Filter ehiem 2217 loaded with coarse foam pads and one pad of floss. Intake is also pre-filtered with a sponge on the intake.
An air stone for added aeration
Lighting 2 x 39w t5 HO. 1 bulb 10k giesemann 1 bulb aqua flora giesemann bulb. (Changing soon to LED)
Heater is a 300w Jager and the temp sits at 83
Daily routine is 2-3 feeding's per day of freeze dried Australian blackworms. Some days more and once or twice a week supplemented with blood worms or Hikari discus pellets.
They share the tank with one bristlenose pleco and 3 german blue rams.
The tank gets a 50 - 70 WC per day and the glass is wiped once or twice a week.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do going forward once they are grown out I might go for a larger tank or I may keep only 2 if I end up with a pair and keep them in the same tank.
Regardless once the fish are grown out this tank or their new home will be planted with safe easy to grow plants and a thin layer of sand.
Here is a couple of pictures of the tank. If anyone has any comments or suggestions regarding my setup or regmine please chime in. I'm concerned only about raising healthy fish and I have thick skin so if I can do something better I will.
