[Sub-tropic-discus]

thanks all

I'd recommend neon plastic ones!

lol!

I find that most colourful plants tend to die, the leaves all fall off! So they might need more care? (unless you already have that!)

I cheated and changed the light in my tank to make the greens stand out more!

The plant in my avatar, Alternantera reineckii does well under most conditions. And that red color is no lie. Crypts, especially wendtii red will also have a lovely shade of purple on the leaf undersides. Rotala rotundifolia will blush pink/salmon as it nears the surface.

Below is a scape of mine that features the Alternantera and the Rotala. No CO2 or ferts.

You have to be careful, however, some plants will not tolerate the higher temperatures that discus require.

The tank pictured above did not use a heater and only rarely approached 80degrees on even the hottest days. As far as warm-water red plants, I'm not so sure.
