Re: My planted 75g Amazon tank
And here are the 4 of them swimming together. Have you noticed that my SAE must be in every single picture!! You can also see a few Sterbai Corycats, and cardinals:

Re: My planted 75g Amazon tank
Hey Dmaaaax,
Awesome fish you have there! On one of your pictures I see that you have SAE or it's a Flying Fox? Do they bother any other fish? My LFS (networked) got 6 of them last week, and I got one pair ... after 48 hours I end up separating one of the Flying Fox, because I think he killed one of my Black Corys ... Extremely fast fish ... And it bothers all fish in the tank I think for more I will have to start new thread Thanks. |

Re: My planted 75g Amazon tank
It is a true SAE....not flying fox. I currently have 2 in the tank. One is about 4" and one is 5". They don't mess with the fish but they can swim around fast during feeding and this sometimes upsets the Discus. The flying fox will definately chase other fish while the SAE usually don't. If you need help figuring out difference between the 2 let me know.
The easiest thing to check is the black line is not as jagged and goes through the tail and they have barbs on their mouth. I drop them some flakes first, then give the discus blackworms and that seems to work out pretty well during feeding. Last edited by Dmaaaaax : 09-25-2009 at 04:06 PM. |

Re: My planted 75g Amazon tank
Finally getting around to posting some new pictures
I have a few floating plants to help with nitrate/phosphate removal, but those long stalks you see are coming from my amazon swords. Each sword is shooting 3-4 stalks out of the tank and each stock has about 4-5 new amazon swords!  Everything is growing like crazy with ~1.5wpg. I have the trimmings down to once a week, and everything is growing in more bushy. I have had to slowly increase my nutrients, and my Tiger lotus has come back from 2 seperate location after being gone for about 3 months.  |

Re: My planted 75g Amazon tank
Just one more picture for now...Close up of the 4 ready for feeding time. They are all about 4" in diameter or more now, and doing great!

Re: My planted 75g Amazon tank
Thank you! It definately changes from month to month, as does the size and color of the fish, but I think I finally have all my parameters set and my weekly routine down.

Re: My planted 75g Amazon tank
Just curious. But I was told by my local shop that I could not put Tetra's and Discus in the same tank. They said the temperature requirements were too different.
I take it this isn't necessarily true? |

Re: My planted 75g Amazon tank
No i dont think thats true-just about every member on this forum who has discus have tetras in their tank, too. but only certain tetras can survive with discus.

Re: My planted 75g Amazon tank
Tetras and Discus are both originally from the Amazon. The prefer the same conditions. Tropical, soft acidic water.
