A few weeks ago I set up a new 65gal that is almost bb. Actually I decided to use pool filter sand as the substrate. I figure I get the best of both worlds; no planted tank to worry about during wc, and you don't get a completely empty tank look.
Just yesterday I received my order of Electric dreams and LSS(grade A) from Kenny. Since acclimating them, they have looked great and are super hungry, in fact I have the toughest time restraining myself not to overfeed them lol. The best part of the babies are that they eat right out of my hand :)
I thought I'd share pics of them (taken on day 1) and express my satisfaction with ordering from Kenny. There are 8 discus juvies in the tank now, but I will be adding 4 larger (3.5" - 4") juvies next week. That brings the total to 12 which already overstocks the tank.
I'm contemplating moving all 5 of my existing juvie discus from my planted tank over too, but would that be too crowded for the discus? I merely want to do this for now until the discus grows out and then move the larger ones back into the planted tank. Daily wc are not a problem for me and I could even add a second cannister filter.
