cannot add more coz my previous tank also a 5plan tank i add till ard 2fingers from the brim and 2weeks later the center bracing break and the tank warp...
yup using fan and using 2XT5 39W
filter is jebo canister filter previously using CO2 but after a while i found out that without CO2 my plants can still grow like weeds then i stop using CO2 liao...
and whats the plant that dominate half of my tank ar?? at 1st i only brought 3 plant but now got more than 10plants
Is that discuss? if so, did you do daily water change?
Planted86, nice set up you and good to see some healthy plants in your tanks. The plant occupying half of your tank is called Blyxa Japonica and yes, it does grow like wild fireOriginally Posted by planted86
It is unfortunate that your previous 5 plan tank warped and it seems to be the most horrifying experience an aquatic hobbyist would ever encounter. But do not be detered by this isolated incident. Unless the new tank was purchased from the same manufacturer, give it a try and fill up the water.
If the whole picture appears yellowish and not the tank itself, adjust the setting of your camera.

Its not going to matter if the tank is half full or not. If it's going to give way, it will. Don't worry too much, there are thousands of 5 plan tanks in Singapore filled to the brim.

yup there are discus inside brought them when they are ard 1-2" big now they are around my palm size and 2 of them form a pair and keep laying eggs inside... i only change water around once per week....
the following pics is them guarding their eggs....

by the way why do they eat their own eggs?? is it because its not fertilise???
but your tank in the picture doesn't look like a 5-plan tank... Thought 5-plan tanks got the black trimmings acting as a all-round bracing for the tank.
And the tank in ur picture already has 3 pieces of bracing already, so don't think necessary to add more glass...
Reason for them to canibalize their eggs is usually due to stress. eg. naughty tank mates like the SAE and CAE in your pic, fellow discus or maybe your tank is in a common area with alot of human traffic, loud noises etc.
In order for your discus to breed, you need to create a comfortable sanctuary for them, so that they feel assured that their offspring will have a good start in life without fear of predators. In short, you might want to lose some of your other fishes for your discus to breed.
ohh... icic.. okok... thanks... haha... just afraid that it will warp like my old tank...
bro bryan and jungle mania so does it means that if i remove SAE and CAE it will increase the chances of it breeding sucessfully?? will cardinal tera and rummy nose disturb them??
btw what do you mean by naughty fishes?? fishes that eat eggs???
