    Just some random pics I've taken of our tank.

    My wife decided to name our Discus, so many of them have a sexual identity crisis. The dominant Tangerine male is 'Daisy'. The next male Blue Diamond is 'Grace'. The Brown Discus female is 'Serenity' who is anything but... The Pigeon Blood female is 'Rusty'. And then there is 'Gabriel' and 'Zoe'

    The very planted image is when the tank was fully planted, prior to acquiring the Discus.

    The images containing the Discus are the most recent and what the tank currently looks like.

    Watching the dynamics and hierarchies between the Discus is fascinating. Daisy rules the roost and has bred a few times with Gabriel. Serenity and Grace are siblings and bicker terribly. Serenity is rather funny since she loves her food and won't let anyone (except Daisy) near it, she even chases the Lemons and Rummys away. Rusty and Zoe are the loners and eat when they're allowed to. There has been an developing romance between Gabriel and Grace in the last few months but Daisy will have nothing of it and is constantly chasing Grace around to the point of Grace chasing Gabriel away when Daisy is near. lol

    The next one was taken 5 minutes ago

    Handling that iteration of our tank was an absolute nightmare, we used to discard a checker's packet of plants weekly. The lemons and mottled (peppered) cories loved it, but the tank eventually became unmanageable :|

    Lovely tank. Like the orange discus.
    Bit of a lesbian vibe you got going there.
