120g discus tank log (now with discus)

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

He shines all sorts of colors depending on how the light hits him

Ok the white one is a blue panda from Jack Wattley's

Those lazer corys are truly awesome always thought they would look great in a tank of discus.

I have adolphoi's in the 90g discus, same color scheme..... Looking for something different....

looks great!

And they are both already eating from my hand! They have settled in very well!

Not sure on what kind the brown wild caught one is.........

Yellow Curuai perhaps?

How big is the wild one his eyes look big like maybe stunted.

What about some simple peppered cories? I like their colors and they would not be shooting up to the top as much as bronze cories do.

The albinos in the 90g discus tank shoot up to the top all the time and even run into the discus quite a bit and the discus aren't bothered a bit by their antics.
Peppered may work, keep the suggestions coming though.

with the peppered cories!

I want to get 3 choices on corys and then see what of the 3 I can actually get
