i would guess damaged part of plant leaking the gas

seems to me that it is just trying to blend in with the surroundings
in my mind i would think fish that can choose to be seen or hide will be more secure in the tank , so the hiding places amongst...

450 litres call it 100 gallons, 200 watts so 2 wpg is fine - you could have more or less depending on what else you do
Almost anything with aerial roots ie the ferns , mosses , and then yes...

i would tend to disagree with illusn on this one
as plants are growing they use mostly Nitrogen,Phosphate and Kpotassium... probably in pretty much the same ratio as terrestrial plants

any surface area will become a potential site for adhesion of biofilms and biobacter
good media therefore has much surface area per volume
what is provided will do the job, i do like the...

looks lush
plants are growing in well and the discus obviously like the security of the plants
why do you say you want all sand?

sorry i'm a twit didn't read properly about you having fish across
in this instance just squeeze old media in front of new media intake to try and aid transition f bacteria to new media faster......

bacterial doubling time can be as short as 24 -36 hrs... all quite variable depending many factors
so depending how many bacteria you moved to the new tank
how much food you provide for those...

definitely
not many people care for fish that much that they would give them up and ask nothing in return

levamisol if overdosed is appetite suppressant, appropriate dose is 1.5-2mgs /litre of water
epsom salts can be used post worming to encourage expulsion of dead or dying worms within the gut

fungus is opportunistic

why cant i edit?
filter sand is made to stay moving ie not compact otherwise it wouldnt filter it would clump even in current of pumped water column

an alternative to the pots is stockings with a fertile substrate in... this can be shaped and hidden , also can stick plants in where you like
