From an all male peacock tank to a discus tank... Can't wait to start my new journey!!

I'm waiting for the tank to fully establish/cycle.

I have no idea what sort of discus I'll be keeping and/or other fish with them.

I will be adding a few more driftwood pieces and attaching some plants on to them. I'm not sure of which plants just yet.

I'd love to hear from you guys, any advise/suggestions.

Here's a quick setup I managed to do.

Nice looking tank

 

Whatever you decide to go with I am sure you will love it. Some Geophagus would look good with any south americans you might get.

I'm thinking of chucking in some dwarf rams and school of tetras (neon/rummy) and a few pleco's

nothing too much or crowded as i still want the attention drawn to the discus

if i come across geo's maybe i'll look into that!

 

thanks

Beautiful tank, I love the natural look. Those discus are stunning and those are some pretty cool Angels!!! What ph are you keeping the tank at?

[abc123]

I've still got some plants to add, my tank is looking very empty.
They're kept at tap water pH of about 7.8-8

[Westie]

Those discus are nice!
What's with the fins on the angelfish? Are they supposed to look like that?

[abc123]

Yep, they're super veil angelfish (long tail)
