yes their really good camo against the roots of trees which is their bio tope breeding and genetics defently factors in but ive learned the hard way a dark back round or off water quality can pepper up a fish quickly

young Zach he has more then enough CO2 that the loss is not that much, the plants will pearl with that diy co2 setup and he is best to leave some kind of aeration at nite so the discus dont choke on CO2 overnight since the plants CANNOT photosynthesize when lights are off.

Iwagumi eh? I loved that log with the anubias in the old tank so much it is hard to see such a different layout. I have to say I usually like a dark rock/fish approach to iwagumi but we will see how your blond version turns out. The plants will change it a ton, excited to see it in 2 months.

Just as a cleanup crew, and enough to keep each other company. Not sure if they would disturb the fish from breeding or some such though. I have about 15 bronze cory in my 55 and I have 4 pepper with fry in my 29 gallon tall. LOL.

TheBlackLotusKing - 11 years ago
Also in my experience with discus peppering is more like an undesirable trait rather then stress marks. I've kept discus in a 200g community (6 pigeon) with a black background. From that experience and my friends thoughts on them (owns a discus breeding facility near where I live) I can definitely say its more of a dirty genetic look then a sign of stress. Your right about the vertical marks turning into specks but in the wild those vertical marks are used as camo more then anything else.
TheBlackLotusKing
TheBlackLotusKing - 11 years ago
This is where I also think differently, I think discus are more social shoaling then an actual schooling type fish. Shoaling is more like a group that hang around with one another. Schooling fish tend to stay close together and move as one unit. Also his tank is a 75g with 8 discus a small shoal of cardinal tetras and a cory. If he removes 3 then it would be 5 discus, 5 discus would be perfectly fine as far as social wise goes.

rickyd454
rickyd454 - 11 years ago
discus are a schooling fish and they do best in numbers of six or more which is another reason to keep more of them. and as far as peppering goes most discus strains have these things called stress bars that flare up from time to time due to stress or other reasons. But pigeon bloods which i believe is what he has do not have any stress bars instead they get this thing called peppering. Peppering is little black dots that pop up[ on the fishses body and face caused by stress or dark backrounds.

I love the hardscape on this tank. One thing I learned is when using rocks in your tank use the same kind throughout. It looks more natural than having a bunch of different looking rocks scattered around. This tank is a perfect example- looking good!
TheBlackLotusKing
TheBlackLotusKing - 11 years ago
I think differently, in my opinion a little more space for the discus to move around without bumping into each other is much more visually appealing. I have no idea what your talking about with the background but ok lol.

rickyd454 - 11 years ago
a fulll tank is way more vissually pleasing and i believe that tank is a 72 so 8 full grown is fine but whats not fine if this is a pb strain the black backround is going to fuck him because of the peppering the discus will get from the black backround
Brent Haglund
Brent Haglund - 11 years ago
So I've been thinking of starting a planted tank. I've been looking into dwarf sag or Java Fern as a carpet plant. From what I've read they're both very durable and easy to maintain. Any preference on either one. Btw you and thegreenmachine are both the people I've been going off of for ideas on what to do.
