    I live 2 miles from where there farm raised,(Vero Beach, Fl) incredibly lucky!

    This is my first attempt at keeping them and these folks at: http://angelwingsusa.com/index.html are super nice people! They have Discus there that were fantastic and huge as well.

    I agree, beautiful tank and fish. However if those white rock are limestone rock I would suggest removing them. Also discus are quite clumsy and could really hurt themselves on those rock. BTW, nice to see some Florida folks. I'm in Orlando.

    Sweet setup! I considered doing river rock for my substrate but I saw so many members had suggested sand I figured I would work with that. My biggest concern was waste finding its way in between the rocks and having a difficult time getting it out. How is that working out for you and what are you doing to keep it clean? Thanks!

    Nice pics and discus, of course. What camera are you using? Doesn't look like you are using a flash.

    No flash...the camera is a Canon EOS Rebel XT, 3 yrs old, but it takes great photos.

    Wow nice tank, fish look good too!

    I would be concerned about the rock in there though(the big white ones). I am assuming they are not going to raise the ph?
