a couple of photos of my 6 foot

[tlambert]

i have never posted pics of my tanks on this forum yet so heres the biggest of my tanks 6 foot will be removing the fish to turn into a discus tank soon (soon as i get some more money in the bank after christmas :wink: ) anyway at the moment it contains a discus angels corys briselnoses and a colony of neons :wink: enough talk heres the pics let me know what you all think

nice tank . dont know about the fish, is it going well for you i have never seen silver sharks in a discus tank angles some times can be keep but can also couse probs but . but if it s working for you good on you hope you have a good new year all the best

[tlambert]

seems to be working gr8 but when we add they discus all fish but the neons will be going into one of the other 5 tanks we have as i dont like mixing them i acually have another tank with two juvi red turks in there which will be the first to go into this tank but it will just be my briselnoses, neons and the discus might leave the corys in there as well dont know yet

at the moment there is only one discus in there acually think it might have paired with one of my angels as they go everywhere with each other very wierd discus :wink:

looks good - is that java fern you have planted in the substrate?

Ive always had no luck when planting in the substrate - though yours looks OK if Im not mistaken?

:lol: :lol: :lol: and i wish i could get mine to slow down im forever pulling it out and planting it at the base of the mother plant as its spreading so quick i've now had to start putting it at the front :wink:

do you have low capacity light - or high capacity lighting?

I always have the problem of the furn appearing to darken off then 'melt' and break down - whereas the rest of the plants are going great - though they are high light plants (lotus etc)

Tank looks great mate did it take you long to grow your plants up i set up my 3 foot tank and the plants need to grow,my advice is get rid of angels and put about 10 discus in there,leave the corys and maybe add some tetras for schooling.

cheers
