hey guys i thought id post some pics for u all of my tanks, the guppy tank was just a spare tank so i thought no point wasting it.

the planted discus tank has been running for around 6 months, please take the time to look as i have spent a lot of time trying to set it up.

anyway please leave comments an if you want any additional info feel free to ask

oh yeah an some of these pics have been taken before an after the last pruning, also the BB tank is going to be a breeding tank, im getting the discus on saturday arvo so u can expect some pics of them two.

ive never taken any picstures of my discus before so there a bit timid, an im not that great of a photographer so sorry but some blurry pics

hey nathan

great pics you should be proud of what you've done with the landscaping and plant arrangement.
tell me it looks like you have a blue diamond,pidgoen blood and snakeskin discus in there but something else i could'nt quite make out.

Nathan,

Tanks look great but i am a fan of having a background on my tanks.

as am i pete i didnt get one to start off with so a 3d background isnt much of an option so ill have to see what i can put on the bak.

there is 2 pigeon bloods, ones a runt unfortunately. a blue diamond an a fine line SS

yea its my first discus tank, ive kept fish before just the common tropical sort.

but i got basically all my info off this forum. and i bought most (wish i had bought all) of the equipment from APW, saved hundreds.
i bought the discus from other forum members aswel, so i guess i need to say a big thank you to everyone.

THANK YOU!

thanx for the comments aswel

Hi Nathan,

Your Tank looks great, and the Discus look nice and healthy.

A coloured background would make them stand out more though.

You've done well for someone who hasn't kept Discus before. Great work!!

Had a feeling you'd like the Guppy tank Sammi :D .,

Yes! I am a sucker for guppies!!!! Love them as much as my discus, they are just so "wriggly", writhing around having fun in the tank!! :lol: 8-)
