| About Yourself: |
Always loved the hobby. Got serious about it 4 years ago. I mainly keep discus, I have 9 at the moment. 2 are in my planted tank. The others are in a 55-gallon grow out tank and my first and oldest, witch I nicknamed killer is in a 10-gallon tank. He is one very aggressive discus.
I have been keeping plants for about 3 years and injecting co2 for 6 months. I will never go back to plastic plants again.

| About Yourself: |
Relatively new in this hobby and inspired (like many of us) by Takashi Amano. Started my hobby in October 07 with a 2 gallon betta bowl. Here I am trying to setup my first aquascape. I named it "The Amazonian Ruins". Check out photos & details at http://planteddiscusaquarium.blogspot.com/ |
| Advice: |
Patience, patience & patience. |
| Fish Kept: |
1 danio
1 pleco (the small ones which gros upto 2-3")
2 mountain minnows
3 discus
3 Ottos
3 SAE
7 Platy (4 were born in my old tank)
12 cardinal tetras
|
| Plants Kept: |

| Tank Size: |

Trimmed out plants and took a quick pick late 2007. |
| About Yourself: |
Small 30g tank at age 12 then left for a bit.....came back with my current tank 5 years ago and started to get into plants and aquascaping heavily. Going for Discus now with a total rebuild late 2008 in my new home...pics when its grown in and more than my one new discus. |
| Advice: |
Go big...as big as you can!
Leave it be more than you mess with it...you'll have more fun with it..and you wont go crazy trying to make it JUST right!!!
I envy Mr. Amano's setups but you have to know what your limits are! |
| Fish Kept: |
roseline rasboras, gold nugget pleco, cardinal tetras, betta,
juli corys, otociniclus, gouramis...various others. |
| Plants Kept: |
zostrafolia(star grass) vallisnaria, tiger lotus, java fern/moss, many bulbs....again various others.
Wish I could find a low growing plant to make a carpet with but selection is limited here in Vermont, importing plants is restricted. |
| Tank Size: |
75 |
| Description: |
75g Roseline rasbora setup from early 2007.
Original flourite substrate, flourish excel carbon addititive with 250w corallife power compact 10k/6k lightbulbs. Rena filstar xp3 with fine filter pads and full bio media loaded.
NO co2 on this tank.
Pictures are of various placements of plants and wood throughout the year. I sold off the extra plants 3 times that year so I reset the design each time. Grow time was extremely fast for all plants. |
