2,000 Liter Discus Tank

[DevotedToDiscus]

Almost forgot I had this, but here are those guys 3 years ago, when they were toddlers! A bit of a grainy video.....I think I must have used my Nokia 1320!!! 

 
But i just found it and was amazed at how they have grown!!!!

Which Corys do you like best?

 

[Blondielovesfish]

I like Adolfoi and Julii the best. Though the fact that most Adolfoi are wild caught puts me off having them in my tank.

I will see if I can find some farmed ones here, and get them in the tank for you

Ahahaha, thanks

This has now got me thinking about the stocking levels. With the Discus, I am set on 25, I currently have 18 so will buy another 7 adult size fish. Then I just want Cardinal Tetras and Corys. I have some already, but how many should I have in there total?
 
Would 100 Cardinals be right?
 
How many Corys?

On corys, most don't like discus temps. So make sure you get ones that can handle them: amapaensis, oiapoquensis, sterbai are examples.

Thanks man I have a few Sterbai and Pandas, which have been with my Discus for a few years now, and those have been great and are fat and healthy. I will be sure to check if I get any different species from these though.

This tank is going to look amazing, I would love to get my hands on some wood like that as well!

Thanks. I will go to get the plants on Friday of next week. So will complete the build and install the lights over that weekend. Then let it all settle a while before moving the fish and make sure the refugium is fully cycled.
