seems to be working gr8 but when we add they discus all fish but the neons will be going into one of the other 5 tanks we have as i dont like mixing them i acually have another tank with two juvi red turks in there which will be the first to go into this tank but it will just be my briselnoses, neons and the discus might leave the corys in there as well dont know yet

at the moment there is only one discus in there acually think it might have paired with one of my angels as they go everywhere with each other very wierd discus :wink:

looks good - is that java fern you have planted in the substrate?

Ive always had no luck when planting in the substrate - though yours looks OK if Im not mistaken?

do you have low capacity light - or high capacity lighting?

I always have the problem of the furn appearing to darken off then 'melt' and break down - whereas the rest of the plants are going great - though they are high light plants (lotus etc)

Tank looks great mate did it take you long to grow your plants up i set up my 3 foot tank and the plants need to grow,my advice is get rid of angels and put about 10 discus in there,leave the corys and maybe add some tetras for schooling.

cheers
