@Hrishi: Dude i like the way you come with all new unique threads, keep it up. I am sure each and every member on IAH if given million rupees (to spend as per their wish) they will spend each and every bit of it on aquariums. The desire and love for this hobby is limitless.  |

A planted discus tank would be at the top of my wishlist!
But somehow I have never been able to spot a perfectly planted tank with discus at the prime of their health!Somewhere down the line I believe a compromise has to be reached for these two to coexist.
Till I find out the secret recipe it would remain just as a goal-a symbol of my ultimate achievement! |

Your wish is not very difficult. You can keep discus easily in a planted tank. Before one year this is a very difficult task for me but now it is very easy.
1. Setup a planted tank. Don't use plants require low temperature.
2. After 1-2 month, add 4-5 discus. Discus should be 3+ inch size.
3. Change 50% water after 2-3 days. I change 50-60% water twice a week.
4. Don't over feed Discus.
5. Used fertilizers in minimum quantity before night of water change.
6. Control temperature between 27 to 30 degree Celsius.
7. Don't overcrowd the tank with fish population.
Within 3-4 month you will have lush green planted discus tank.
Best of Luck. |

That is nice information you have shared Mr Rajeev.
Btw,what if we intend on using co2 in our discuss planted tank?
I guess it would alter the ph too... |

CO2 will not create any big problem. My tank Green Desert is the example of such a tank. Everything should be in control. |

Hrishi nice thread
It seems my list is long:
Firstly one of my dream completed two months back which was having multiple tanks,
and
about fishes I always wanted to keep but I can't
1. Arowana and Monster fishes_Reason - Space, can't accomaodate more than 3 feet tank currently
2. Discuss_Reason - Extensive care (currently I cant give more time)
3. Planted Tank_Reason - Space ( Don't have space in my mini fish room which is in balcony to keep pressurise CO2 cylinder and other stuff)
4. Marine Tank_Reason - Maintanance and cost. |
