Hahahhahaha...nice...agree..only blue heckel tank

Both your wild discus setups should really be featured in all International forums or fish magazines...It is just not about dumping some nice fishes in with nice bg and sand etc. It is about someone's passion and dedication that really make yr setups sweet and beautiful.

Always liked it when DWs are placed in a position where they look like roots,

The tank is 6ft x 2.4ft (70 inches) x 2.4 ft.

I do try and emulate the tree root type of scape with my biotope setups, as it reflect truly the habitat in which you actually find discus in nature. It's natural and both good for viewing as well as the fish love it!

Wow, thank you both very much for your high opinion of my tanks

Wild discus have been my passion for years, and I do my best to maintain an environment for them that hopefully makes them as happy as possible in captivity. To me, that's the basic responsibility of any hobbyist, especially when taking fish from nature into your house - you owe them a good life thereafter!

When are we meeting for coffee again bro TRIX? haha, last time was by pure chance

and we need to arrange a kopi session sometime bro FHF, we missed each other for both Hudson shipments this year so far!
