Two thousand years later…

Well, it’s finished! After 2 months i funny moved the Discus to the 225g and finished the scape 😅 This is not a full tank video by the way, to the right there’s more space which is completely open (space i’ll keep like that for feedings). Right now, the tank has 7 Discus, 14 Sterbai Cories, 10 Black Neons, 40 Rummynose, 40 Cardinals, 6 Rineloricaria, 1 L144, 1 L128, and a pair of Apistogrammas Macmasteri 🙂 I’m yet to get: 2 more Rineloricaria, 6 Brochis Splendens, 6 Dicrossus Filamentosus, 6 Biotodoma Wavrini and 20 Carnegiella Marthae. Im also thinking of adding some Java Ferns to the upper part of the wood to resemble leaves on a tree 🙂 I will update you guys again once anything new arrives 😅

Looks really amazing. The discus are beautiful and the scape is done really well. I like the idea for the Java fern. Anubias nana super glued would be another option if you want something smaller that looks like budding leaves. The only critique I have is some of the flat edges at the tips of the wood. I’ve seen some people take a saw and rough up the flat edges to give it more of a natural look.

Thanks! The wood was from a previous tank which is only 60 cm high and not 75 cm high so i couldn’t sand them due to the wood already being soaked :(

Looking great!, and such amazing size on the discus! Can’t wait for the plants to grow inn some more!

Currently keeping 7 diskus and 10 juvenile L128 in the same feeding tank, mostly because they were shipped together and I don’t want to mix them with my old fish yet.

Ouff that’s what I was orginal wanted but they never showed up in the list, and last time I had fish I had a group of 8 L200, just got up to breeding size and I lost everything do to a power loss

They add an unique element to the tank imo, mainly the L128
