Hi, Iam from Innaloo (correct spelling, would you believe) in Perth, Western Australia. I have recently graduated from a small community tank to a 4 foot 200 litre planted. I have 4 discus (started with 6 but thats another story). All settled down now. Wish I had known about this site 2 weeks ago.

Looking forward to learning a lot more from you guys in the future.

Welcome paddy,

Sorry about your loss, but just remember that you're not alone :cry:
losing discus are just part of the learning experience for beginners

Nice tank mate. And your discus look great, especially your Pigeon Blood/Golden. He's got great shape and colour.

Is that a physical background I can see in your tank?

Whats the net holding?

Lovely tank and a very nice selection of fish paddyedgar.

You're off to a great start.

Yea its one of those look like rock sheets that you buy by the foot, But the big rock is for real and heavy too.

I had a handful of gravel in the net to keep it open and was using it to isolate a sick fish (R.I.P.)

Glad you like the golden

Yeh np about the net.
I have a laytext background which is simular, and nothing beats them. The physical backgrounds look great and really improve the look of your tank.
