Thanks for the info!

Funny you mention that, I stopped by a new fish store that I usually don't go to because they have a small selection and sure enough, they had red tail botias. I'll be going back to get some I think after I get the discus.

MrHoney2U - 12 years ago

yes I have 2. Just saw a bunch today for about 9 bucks each.

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

Thanks!

i wouldnt do clown loaches with discus btw , discus are pussys for the most part , and clown loaches are very active fun fish , the calmer the fish you have with the discus are , the more active your discus will be , imo

Those are the ones you have right? Red Tail Botia? I never see them at the LFS around here. I'll have to ask and see if one of my LFS can get them.

logan Mackrell - 12 years ago

wow its truly stunning. its like a tank you would see out of a magazine. i want to someday switch from my african cichlids to discus

MrHoney2U - 12 years ago

soundslike you are well prepared. Looking forward to it. Look into red tail botia (blue loaches) they might look good against that sand substrate.

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

Thanks!

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

It's a 90gal

1Filmproducer - 12 years ago

Thank you :)

logan Mackrell - 12 years ago

the hardscape is fantastic! how many gallons is your tank? wont hate on you, just curious:-)

OscarMan442 - 12 years ago

No that I have seen but I have gravel. I have a friend who has one in a sand tank and he said that he is just like a Pleco.

eyegottchamedia - 12 years ago

looking great bro!!!

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

Thanks. Doing plants, but not until the discus are in and doing well.

Looking sweet! I thought you were doing planted though? The discus might need more hiding places

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

thats what've heard

Jwhiser1302 - 12 years ago

Don't blame you bro! Keeping wild discus is more daunting than keeping a magnificent anemone to me. Lol

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

Thats too much pressure for me to handle!!!! Seriously though, not getting any wild caught, don't want to mess with that.

Jwhiser1302 - 12 years ago

I'm sure you can keep em alive B! Unless they are wild caught they should be aquarium hardy for discus anyway. I want to keep them some time too so I'm counting on you bro! LOL

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

Yea, gonna do some plants once I get a handle on the discus

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

Thanks!

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

THere is a layer of Seachem Flourite Black Sand under the white stuff. that way I can plant at some point

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

Thanks Tim!

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

I've checked with other people and everyone said they are OK. If not, I'll pull them out. Plenty of tanks to keep the loaches in.

Thanks! I'll sub you back

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

Thanks BM!

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

Thanks!

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

Maybe eventually, I'm just hoping to keep them alive first!

Jwhiser1302 - 12 years ago

Man those black neons are gonna look dope B!! You should do some starbei Cory's (spelling) instead of the loaches but either way I cannot wait to see the discus you pick man! Are you going to try your hand in breeding them too eventually?

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

Does he dig in the sand?

Brian's Fish Tanks - 12 years ago

Yeah, I'm planning on a few German Blue Rams at some point

Omar Alvarez - 12 years ago

Instead of loaches, get a school of any type of corydora

Omar Alvarez - 12 years ago

you can put a ram in there along with the discus, just a suggestion :)

OscarMan442 - 12 years ago

Tank Really is Looking Good. I would say to get some whiptail catfish cause I have one and he is helping keep the tank clean. Good Luck!!

John Wray - 12 years ago

Its going to look great mate , can't wait to see the discus in there ...

Aquascaping the World by BM - 12 years ago

coming along nicely

1Filmproducer - 12 years ago

Great looking aquarium! i subbed :)

GodofFishtanks - 12 years ago

discus are awesome!

travismccrayfish - 12 years ago

Not sure on this but with my recent Discus purchase the guy at my LFS mentioned that loaches shouldn't be put in with Discus. He didn't explain, and I didn't ask because I don't plan on getting any loaches. Thought I'd mention it. Maybe there's some info out there. Have you decided on a type of discus?
