hello, mate:

Awesome set up.

May i ask that what is the forground plants you usxed? hair grass?

Do your discus find difficulties in grazing food from the bushy plants?

Forground plants are hairgrass just waiting for it to cover the bare patches.
The discus have no trouble getting to food in the grass they just push into it and what they miss the other fish get ie rams ,black ghost knifefish.
