I'm getting a new discus tomorrow so I had to get the basics down in the 120g tall that has been converted into a discus tank. Got a 48" power compact light fixture from work, not pretty but it will work.
It has dirt, sand and a light so pretty much a blank slate.


So I went searching in my planted sump for some buried treasure


Some little sword that took some nursing to get it to look this good, now it has a place to shine!

Other finds from the sump

One way to keep micro chain sword and dwarf baby's tears in place!


Not sure where the anubis came from I never put any of that in the sump

Its no where near done by far but it will do for now!

Great finds! funny with heavy planted tanks sort of like reefs all of a sudden something new is found.

Its not the first odd thing I have found in there!
Any clue on what kind it is?

Even though the discus I am getting today has passed QT at the shop he will be alone in here for 2 weeks just to be sure!

So What kind of corys should go in this tank?

have no clue but lloks like the same one I found in my planted tank. I think mine is a nano but not sure.

Well $184 later I have 2 adults! My BF came with me and picked out one marked at $150 The brown one I got was $80 because the color wasn't a desirable one. The discus breeder at work said he really looks like a wild caught brown and thats what the prior owner bought him as.

They are big boys!


And now the long wait for the acclimation......... The PH is a degree off so it will be a long drip!

nice

I feel like a little kid on Christmas! Look at these guys!!!!!!!

The brown wild caught is 7" and the whiteish guy is 8" and I believe he is a wattleys

WOW that pale turqoise is awesome looking rarely see that ghost look on discus

get some of those gold lazer beam cories...saw them for the first time today in RL and omg awesome looking and great colors
