i voted BB. it really depends what you want. do you want a nice discus display tank with plants and substrate which is fine for them - the discsu may not grow as big and probably wont be used for breeding.
or you can have a BB which some people will say it doesnt look anygood.... i have some potted plants in my BB tanks and i think it looks great. the discus will grow faster in BB, maintanence is much faster and easier and the fish generally are larger. BB usually carry less diseases aswell.
both are good but it depends what you want from your discus.....

Thanks man! I've been keeping Discus for two months now... I already killed five but no regrets.. I always learn something from it though... Except that I'm nearly bankrupt!haha I can't afford too many Diskees. Am only a teenager who still depends on mom... The doggie-teary eyes always work though!

i am not selling discus yet. i have only recently started on my fish room so it might be a few months before am selling fish.
i have lots of experience with discus and a few other fish but lack the funds a little bit so i cant put what i know into practice that much...... im getting there thoagh.
cheers

main points
Hey Everyone,
I think what GP said about BB tanks being the better option is true. But I would have to say that I doubt having the BB tank in of itself makes fish grow bigger. I think it is more likely to be the ease of which poo and decaying food are removed, leading to improved water conditions which gives better growth. However, the tank will look dirty at most times due to no substrate hiding poo and food at the bottom of the tank - this would require frequent cleaning.
So BB is likely to force you into cleaning your tank more often which is better for the fish within it.
My vote goes to BB.

sorry i ment fish usually grow bigger in BB
because there is more space without gravel and cleaner water they usually get bigger. sorry for the miss understanding.
