My New Pleco

Haha! Busted!!

I made the same mistake as you and fell for a Gibbi... They are very nice indeed, but unless you have a 5-6 foot tank it is't fair for the fish. Best to rehome it and get a more suitable plec.

I recommend this thread to help you find one that's suitable for your setup.

Do not over feed discus because With their laterally compressed bodies and the swim bladder located on top of the stomach, discus do not tolerate overeating a slight case of constipation can have serious consequences in discus fish feeding dry foods that hydrate in the stomach cause serious problems, i prefer to feed discus on hikari brand frozen foods.

nice try, but you've cut and pasted that almost word for word from this website....

Well this is interesting.

As for the trigon. They aren't good for larger plecs. I know, I have a trigon 350. Dimension of a tank is also very important when it comes to selecting fish.

By the way, I love you work Jake.

ok here we go im going to tell you what i know about discus then, Do not over feed discus because With their laterally compressed bodies and the swim bladder located on top of the stomach, discus do not tolerate overeating a slight case of constipation can have serious consequences in discus fish feeding dry foods that hydrate in the stomach cause serious problems, i prefer to feed discus on hikari brand frozen foods.

Water changes on the discus setups are an important aspect of proper discus fish care water changes must be done on a regular basis to ensure a healthy discus setup discus thrive in clean water conditions. But you can't just put tap water into a bucket and up your water safe in thats a big NO NO frist you have to get your tap water and run in through a osmosis filter then put your water save in for 24 hours, but befor you put your frash water in after the 24 hours you got to make sure the ph is around 7.0 or 8.0 then you must check the fresh water is at the right temp befor adding your fresh water to you setup. but if you new at keeping them its best to keep them in a bare bottom tank witch makes live much easyer then if you have them in planted tanks, and they must be kept with no less then 5 other discus.

anyways i could go on all night about them lol and check out the new tank you moaning fools iv got one its 5ft and holds 400 litteer

Wow nice tank... Why is it empty? Everything die?
