    Howdy,

    Well you requested pics, and now you've got em!

    Click here

    Most of these pictures are a week or two old. :)

    The Discus aren't mine, A new LFS has just opened up nearby, they're the fist shop I've seen in the area that even HAS discus, so I snapped a few pics to show my mum!

    Fish are fish! Don't matter if they're mine (yet!) or not!

    The tank looks good overall, but you definatly gotta do a bunch of tetras away. Because of the lack of space your other fish will get more agressive and chances your fish get ill are bigger! Furthermore I really like how you scaped it all!

    The tank is 40L. I also agree regarding overstocked. Note that that picture was just after feeding so they're all in the one area of the tank. Maybe I could catch a few neons and move them to a friend...

    Water parameters are quite good and fairly stable and only sign of aggression I've seen in months was the Betta doing away one of the guppies.

    ey, as long as your parameters are running stable...the fish are looking good and feeding as normal..and your not dealing with corpses then I wouldn't worry too much.

    As for the betta offing the guppy...I think that's normal for them>>they'll peck at whomever is bothering them in the tank if they think they can take them...if not they'll "puff up" at them. :)

    Believe it or not mine is behaving himself in the 90g...I'm thinking of getting him a girlfriend if he keeps playing nice with the others.

    Yes, according to my readings as long as the tank is large enough and provides enough hiding places for her to get away...and as you can tell in the photos..there's plenty of refuge in my current setup.
