Thanks VaughnH yes the discus to get fed a good bit, and that is my fault! haha

I do clean the algae off the plants as much as I can during my water changes..I took those pics before a water change.

I know im overstocked on the tank, but I figured with my water changes it would be ok for a lil bit...hopefully one day I will be able to get a big tank....like a 6 footer

I was hoping to propagate the plants as they grew....but here I am, they dont grow like I hoped, and so I can reproduce them.

Thanks again very much! I appreciate everyones help....very quick responses
