Nice, I see moss. What is the temp of the tank?

[equidorz]

Nice and neat set up. Always wanted to do a planted either with discus or Angels. But i feel discus in a planted is too much of work. Need to keep doing water change as feeding is very regular. Also discus prefer room temperature which some how is opposite to planted tank which perfer cold water. Very nice anyway. Hope to see more updates for your tank.

Cheers.

In fact the discus is ok with temperature 26-29 C.
Important is not to over feed them. Weekly water change of 30% is sufficient. You may keep shrimps, Yamato, oto and red tails to help to take care of the leftover.

Very nicely done bro... The moss look so nice and thick... How big is your tank??? Any co2 inject... Whats the foreground plant at the front?? Is it water wisteria...

[PROFILLET]

I think you are right. It is wisteria. It's a low demanding but beautiful plant.
The tank is 422 with fan cooled at 26-29 $130°C. CO2 injection at about 2bps.

Dont you have to trim it often to maintain it low as they grow very fast... By the way how much you bought your discus???

Beautiful setup! Great job on selection of discus and lushnmoss growth!

However, water wisteria may not be suitable as foreground plants as over time, too much trimming involved.
Maybe you can try mini crypto prava, as it has similar light green leaves,looks like tiny sword plants, and will spread slowly as a lawn.

$30-250 each.
I just pluck off the extra and plant the wisteria elsewhere every forenigntly.
Care to show some photos of crypto prava?

[Apistoinka]

Where can get the crypt prava??? Tenellus is also a good choice bro...

Wisteria really grow very very fast. I have it on the left back of my discus tank. If never trim frequently it will be very messy and might take over the tank if left uncheck.

This plant is suitable for foreground area.
Under strong light, it grows short (about 1-2 inch tall).
If you want it to grow taller, give it less light.
I am trying it out as foreground plants at present for a section (1 ft area) of my main tank.
I seen it available at C328 and lfs at Serangoon North Ave 1. Sold in pots or sandwiched between mesh.

Mine grow slow and it stay low due to base fertilizer is already two year lao. It serves as a good indicator for water quality also. The edge of the leave will turn black if water condition no good.
My 5¢ experience. :-)

New plant. Yet to know the name.
It's hardy and slow growing. Easy to take care.

Did you buy from C328? Will it do well in 28-30 degrees water?
