Nice Wild Discus u got there....always thought Wild Discus looks bttr than others alike in planted tank. IMO...some foreground plants like glosso to cover up the front will be awesome:up:

The parameters should be no problem for discus. What is the size of your discus?

Hi bro, very nice set up and Discus you hv there. Normally Wild Discus will not hv much colour, try adding some colourful types like snake leopard, blue Diamond, Marlboro Red etc..:up:

I think thats the whole purpose of using wild discus....to get the natural "feel". At least thats what I will do. dun know those beautiful striking colored discus juz dun suits...IMHO:003:

add in some black water if you want.

your discuss looks to be not used to the new tank. Give them time and they will show their true colors :003:

Wild discus is best for planted tank.
