Nice E-Yellow tank Samir!
The white substrate goes well with the fish.
May I ask how you managed to cut the holes nicely out of the pots?
Cheers :D

i drilled them , took me an hour and the bit was blunt by the end, so I'd recommend getting something that can drill through stone.
they have started building nests, pretty cool, i guess discus can take a back seat for now. :lol: :lol: :lol:

i'll burst all the black eggs with a pin this time and only keep the albinos. i'm thinking of scaling down and only breeding albinos. its become more of a second job than a hobby.
