2,000 Liter Discus Tank

Thanks Charlie, the Tetras are getting so fat already, feasting on beef heart scraps!!!

Still no Assassins 

 LFS keep telling me next week. Will go and try to find some elsewhere this weekend, as the snails are taking over, like a Hitchcock movie! "The Snails"

Assassin snails are from Thailand, Go find the nearest local water and catch some

I never knew that....my snail knowledge is limited! I should be able to find them easily, and so should my LFS. Am off to the market today to see if I can find them there. Fingers crossed, or I may well need to take your advise and start poking around in the lake across the road. ;-)

Bought a dozen Rummy Nose Tetra, and 5 Yo Yo Loaches today. They look nice in there. Haven't managed a photo of the Rummy Noses, as they are to quick!

Yo Yo loaches are a good addition, like that idea for your tank 

 
Did not realise Assassins from Thailand as well, might be worth for you to have a look at that lake you mentioned, you never know......

 
And yeah, rummy noses are active wee fish, give it a day or two to let them settle then try to take pics again!

Yo-yo's are so cute!!
Your Discus are beautiful as per usual
I can't wait to see the rummys!

 

[MojoDex]

You no longer need assassins with those loaches! Although that said maybe a few in the refugium wouldn't be a bad idea?

They look so tiny next to your discus!

The rummys look really nice. I saved them from a tiny little tank in the shop!

My discus have had a great growth spurt since going in this tank, but I do think my girlfriend feeds them too much when I am at work!!!! I will try and get a good pic with something for scale, as they really are very big now.

Thanks dude. I have had him since he was a wee nipper, and he has grown to be the daddy! He's around 8 inches top to bottom.

Oh, and I thought that I own the tank, but the truth is......... He does!!!!!!

 

[DevotedToDiscus]

Looks like those YoYo's are having a feast! The bottom of my tank is littered with empty snail shells, happy days 

 

[Ch4rlie]

Yaay! 

 
You'll soon have no snails at all which is what you wanted.
 
Do you think you'll get some pest snails free from LFS to give to your Yo Yo's as a treat once in a while maybe?
