Hope you like.
My camera sucks but I'll try get some clearer ones of the individual discus. The colours are best without flash but if your not really still it comes out blur because its harder to focus.

Cheers
Dan

That angel thinks he's a discus! Schools up witht hem :)

Thanks for the comments midazolam, Scott, Darren and Kindredspirit :)

I also had a school of rummynoses but they seem to have diminished to a trio.

Love the sight of schooling fish :)

I unfortunately lost one of my white discus due to bullying.
But the rest are growing fast and strong :)

[dawncollette]

Hi, great tank and discus, if you don't mind I'd like to know what type of lighting fixture that is?
thanks for sharing,\dawn

[Danlee]

Cheers for the comments guys :)

Ok here it goes

I have running pressurised CO2 with a timer

Lighting is 2 x T5s (off e-bay :) )

substrate is Eco-complete

It had root tabs ages and ages ago but I mainly just dose with seachem Excel every 2nd day or when I remember

As for plants there are quite a few I dunno what they are.
Off the top of my head I have:
Tiger lotus
pygmy chain sword
vallis
lots of various crypts
Rotala macrandra
Hygrophila polysperma
A few types of swords

Fish:
Discus
Cardinals
rummy noses
Ottos
SAE
Bn
Angels
Cherry barbs
Leopard cories

Any other questions feel free to ask :)

Thanks
Dan
