Hey All

This is my 5x2x2 tank. Runs a 1500lph canister + internal filter full of peat moss and wool. Has 2 sacem 250w heaters, Twin outlet air pump, three t8 light tubes. I have had this tank running for a little of 18 months now and all is great.http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy293/sandmannvan/5FTDiscusTankandothers.jpg

Nice Tank, I like Yellow White Discus :) . You should feed your Discus with beef heart, the body shape will better :wink:

You are right Leanne, they look skinny, and the BD's look like they are in bad condition also, and stunted :?

Nice tank tho

I also thought they all looked quite skinny before i had read any of your posts. Especially the yellows.

Have you ever given them a worming? I didn't know until I started here that you needed to worm discus. That maybe the problem. What do you feed them. Please don't think I am having a go just trying to help your discus out. :)
