ok I think I have decided to start up the 65 gallon as discus - flourite subtrate, mixed with regular gravel, (estes walnut). big amazon swords, crypts... lots of mopani, .. filtered peat, kent extracts, etc. etc. (I've done the research already)
I want to start with dimesized babies (+/-10wks old) there is a local breeder here in Ottawa - question? how many do I get ? Will they be OK growing up in this tank ? is there anything else I should watch out for ?
I understand a 65 is a bit small for adult discuses ,it is 48x18x18. by the time they are adults I hope to have a larger tank +200 gals for them.
thanks for your help.
