Re: Discus and the planted tank - 03-31-2005, 05:53 AM

I picked up several 1/2" discus at Christmas from Fairy Lake ($8.00 each and he threw one more in for free!) and put them in my planted tank. I upped the temp to 82o (although I want to bring it back down to 80) - they are doing fine, and so are the plants (with the exception of a little BGA that keeps coming back).

Plants that are doing well for me include:
Hairgrass,
Tiger lotus (started with one, now I have three)
Telenthera,
Wysteria
Riccia,
Rotala Indica
And something someone gave me (but I don't know what it is, how do I post a picture to the forum?)

Plants that I've had trouble with (and I don't believe this was heat related, but related to the reason I got BGA to begin with):
Rotala Macrandra (melted),
Pearlgrass.

I had a couple of swords, but they take up too much room so I'm not their biggest fan and so I got rid of them.

Oh, and the discus are a good 4" now and goergeous (where is my damn dictionary ).
