great looking tank, and fish, too. I have some real plants, but not that many. I think I need to bulk up.

Fantastic tank Debbi! Do you still have sids in with your discus?

Hi Nancy and thanks! I removed the six sids from the discus tank. Quite the job to try to catch them too! I wanted them to be all together. The ones in the discus tank were older. One was getting extremely fat. They weren't as active in the discus tank because even though the discus are gentle giants, the size of them does still intimidate the smaller fish. They were an extremely good cleanup crew for my planted discus tank though. They did a better job of cleaning bits of food from between the plants than my cories do! It was a good move. The older sids are much more active, big fatty has slimmed down a bit, and the young sids seem to really like having the older ones in there.
