    Very Very Nice - I would not add too many more - remember these grow up to rather large fish.. Maybe 1 or 2 more

    Hi
    Stunning tank nice scape and very nice root.
    What plant do you have in the left back corner looks to me like Diefenbachia but that is not a AQ plant??

    I LOVE the layout! Have you got a mixture of real and fake plants in there?

    Hi deongt - Please get rid of the fakes and replace with real --- much better for the tank and fish

    Thanx guys. I haven't been in the business very long and living on the "plattelant" does not help. LFS's does not really stock a lot of AQ plants. But give it another couple of months and the three fake ones will be gone. But yes, being a keen gardener too, nothing beats real plants in an aquarium.

    Cool - Plants are easy to post - so get hold of the sponsors and get them to send to you..
    Fish Nook are reliable sponsors :) :)

    Awesome discus in that first pic. What do you call that color?

    Fisk Nook has got my vote also. And they are a fountain of knowledge!!

    Very nice setup! Particularly like the two tone stone colouring. Saw some beautiful discus's at the LFS going for a reasonable price. A very nice breed to keep, yours look very happy in the tank! Tank looks very beautiful!

    Not sure which ones you refer to, in the Pics I can see Golden Bown, Red Turqoise, Albino etc.
