@thebearjewkiller1976 Discus come from the amazon were they are free to swim as much as they whant so the real hell is at home in aquaria and betas only endup in puddles in the dry season for 2-3 months, not there whole lives to 1 l cups won't do

That tank is way too small for discus

@saarloswolfhound the biggest pair were just under 2 inches.

@fishy8907: I'm sure they are somewhere. This tank was torn down and turned into a hospital tank since this video. I sold the discus about 3 months ago and I haven't received an angry call by the new owner since, I assume they're still alive. The Albino Pleco (his name is Mr. White) still lives with some of the Endler's Livebearers, in my 55.

@turkeyslayer100 thats wat i was talking about when i said its the water quality that matters.

@turkeyslayer100 it is not the actual volume of water that matters, its the quality.

how high did you have to fill it up to get ur whisper 40 power filter to work? im looking for the lowest water level possible

This tank has since been torn down. You may be happy to hear the Discus and the Ram were moved into my 55 (after selling quite a few fish). The Livebearers, shrimp, and pleco were moved into a 41. The plants divided into three separate tanks.
