Discus really hate bright lights and enjoy being in the dark

I have found most fish are uncomfortable under bright lights....its why I always scratch my head when aquarium manufacturers supply such intense bright lighting.

I go with Nicrew lighting cos then I can control the brightness from a cloudless sunny day to overcast and stormy light levels....the dimmer/darker the light, the more activity you get from the hooligans in the aquarium

Algae Discs for tea tonight. Spot the whiptail not missing out. I have decided to add some larger stones into the tank to give the pygmy catfish fry somewhere to hide. We went down to the beach and found a few, I will add some more to complete the look.

I would like to thank @wasmewasntit and @CaptainBarnicles for your votes on the Tank of the month, it is appreciated, I will tell you it is hard work just getting two votes. The tank is still young, in another couple of years I might get there.

I love this tank, its so natural looking and I'm sure the fish really appreciate the environment you've created for them. The artistry involved it making a space look like a Sci fy movie scene is remarkable but for me nothing beats the simplicity of nature

It is interesting, we all have different ways of doing things. You can either buy a lot of fish, they never breed and eventually die, or you can buy a few fish to watch them breed and end up with a sustainable population. Those are the choices we make.

How can you not love these guys, cuddle time

If you don't understand this, right finned fish always face left, and left finned fish face right.

Oh, you were being serious?

One of my dogs was left footed and the other was right footed. Dead set serious. Left footed dogs lift their left foot when they tinkle. Right footed dogs lift their right foot.

Feeding time, I just love taking photos of these guys.
