best you take them out and put in a pail before you rescape the tank. It's gonna get messy especially if you doing major rescape.
I'm thinking to rescape my 2feet tank but i have discus in it. Should I leave them in or try to catch them all and keep them somewhere while I redo the scape? i thinking to change the gravel too.

Advice from boss Felix
after rescape how long must i let the water cycle, before i put the fish back into the tank
use a pail with water from your tank, put airstone.
If you move substrate, got chance they will die from ammonia spike.

how many Liters of soil do i need for two feet tank? Do i need to clean soil first before putting in the tank?
8-9litre should be enough, no need to clean the soil just dump it in. however, the water will by cloudy for awhile it will clear away after a few hours.
If it's Aquasoil or similar do not wash it. It's not supposed to be washed. If you have plain old gravel then yes you must wash it.Originally Posted by garylim
which plant do you recommend for a 2 feet discus & Angel fish tank? I have a Aqua Zonic T5 twin tube 24w light. No CO2.
YOU mean by moving substrate theres a chance of ammonia spike?

Yes, depend how delicate and sensitive your livestock are. If discus or shrimps like crs quite good chance they will die.
Btw, please look up fourm rules and read them up. Next SMS lingo post will magically disappear.

Taxiphyllum sp flame, Rotala rotundifolia red, limnophila sessiliflora and nana plant are they low light plants?
Nana and taxiphyllum sp flame are low light except Rotala rotundifolia red which i think is a medium-high light plant. Not sure about limnophila sessiliflora, never tried those.

Of course you can. Depend how sensitive your fishes are and how serious you gonna rescape. Most of the time they are OK after water change of 25%-35% after rescape. My fishes were tetras though
Rotala rotundifolia red are light hungry plants

I will go with draining out tank water and migrating the livestock before rescaping. Rescaping and planting with water present in the tank is difficult and it is not good for debris stirred up in the process to get into the filter. It is difficult to avoid losing some less tolerant livestock in the process, so you'll have to weigh the pros and cons of whether you want to proceed with rescaping.
Just rescape yesterday. But now my discus is afraid of people passing by. Keep hide behind those plants.

I love your tank. Simple and nice, especially the "temple". Give people a traditional and mandarin feeling.
nice discus =]
Nice scaping.
Better monitor the fish as you changed from gravel to, what seemed to me is ADA-type soil? If yes, PH will drop quite a bit.
My discus is fine. But discus eggs just disappear.
