    Arowana?

    I've seen many tanks with the mixture of Discus and Arowanas. Quite nice IMO. I have the same in my tank and they seem to like to swim peacefully together. Im in the process of aquascaping my tank so images will come soon.

    Anyone tried this before?

    The pics and the tank are mine

    But the fish I share with someone else. I was shy to post him, being such an elongated discus and all

    When I started my membership with the Discus Forums, they were running a photo comp.

    I was lucky enough to have won the comp.

    I must say looking at other members pics is really really good fun.

    Cheers,
