Basically, im having trouble with plants in my discus tank. so im thinking of having maybe 3 big bogwood pieces and some small amazon swords.

So if you could post pictures of your discus tanks.... i could see how it sets your discus off etc. or something that your think would look good with discus in.

Thanks

i'm not a huge fan of stem plants so here we go....
(they come up with discus chasing... they shed... they hate high temps... on and on)

these seem to take the high temps of a discus tank... which i assume you have

(heavy root feeders.. use fert tabs)
longer stemmed amazon's in the back
shorter compact swords in the middle
crypt species to cover the stems of the swords
microswords in the foreground as a carpet

anubias here and there

also that bunched "lucky bamboo" looks pretty cool in a tank

driftwood can also be used to create different heights of substrate in a tank which look neat :)

sorry i didn't list names and stuff.... kinda weak on plant names lol fish come first :)
 
haha same not good with plant names only amazon sword seriously LOL! i think im gunna get some more bogwod make different levels nd then put some more amazon swords in there ;)
 
Hi there!

I'm new to the forum but here's my discus tank.

120gal, large gravel over fine substrate. This pic was taken about 3 months ago, need to get camera fixed so more pics soon (fingers crossed)
