Hahahhahahahha. Sounds like a plan. Just don't get any blood in your tanks. In case you haven't heard, once discus get a taste for human blood...

Heya Chris,

Good gravy mate - I just cannot believe the horrible run of luck you've had so far with your fishkeeping!

For 'next time' (which we both know there won't be), your plants should be...

Heya guys,

Thanks for the advice. I've switched mine over to running 24/7 as well. I'll let you know how I get on ;-)

Cheers!

Heya Scooby,

I will normally throw out maybe 1/3 of the sponge in my canister, rinse the remainder in tank water (NOT tap), and then replace the missing volume of sponge with some new sponge.

Heya Mango,

My melon sword did the same thing a few months ago. Mine didn't even make it to the surface - ended up growing at a fair angle, with ~ 15 baby plants growing off it.

One warning...

Heya Dave,

I've read that 1-2 hours / day is sufficient a lot of the time. It'll also make your UV bulbs last longer.

I got a 15W unit for my 4x18x18 tank. Overkill, sure, but better than underpowering it from what I hear. I...

Heya Oscar,

I haven't seen these new-fangled ones, but I can certainly vouch for the quality of the "old-skool" Jagers. I still have the one I bought with my original tropical tank in high...

Matt, careful with the mercury ones & discus.

My discus managed to bust the original glass thermometer I had in with them. I only noticed when I saw a big ding in my snakeskin's nose :-(

I'm...

Here's a pic of one of my whiptails. Gorgeous little fish, and damned good algae eaters too. Plus they aren't the fastest growing fish in the world, so they won't need replacing often (if at all). ...

Thanks guys.

Heh - yep, I'm following you, Chris. Best stay off those pr0n sites ;-)

Love your new aquisitions, Dreamer!

Cheers, Aza.

Heh, I figured I'd probably find you here, Rod.

Hope life's treating you well ;-)

Cheers!
John

Last few for now..

Cheers!

Hallo all,

I figured since I've just signed up here, I'd post up a few pics of my discus tank. Apologies to Simply or Brissy members who've already seen some of these.

This is my first discus...

Heya Revda,

If you're not inclined to put real plants back in the gravel, have you considered floating plants?

There's a floating plant available locally in Australia called Ceratopterus. I've...
