After more than 3 years i will post some new photo's.

This year I've bought 8 discusfishes. In novembre 2012 i bought 5 'red spotted téfe' discusfishes. But one of the group died after six months ore something. 3 months ago i bought 4 more discusfishes, this time some discus with more colour called 'Red Scribbelt discus'.

This is the one week ago400L):

The echinodorus are new, so they're still small!

And some picture of the fishes :)

Very nice photography and tanks!
what camera and lens do you use for these great pics? using a tripod?

also do your L230s come out during the day to feed?

Thnx Plecomania!

I use the Sony A200 with an sigma 105mm macro lens.

Yes, all of my catfishes are coming out of their holes during the day during the feeding times :)

Haha, the discus eat a lot of cherry shrimps. But the shrimps do have many hiding places. Because of that their will always be a small population of shrimps.. :)

I've 4 platy's in the tank. These are the last 4 I could not catch a few months ago.

i had the same thing happen back when i had a planted tank like this and i had cherry shrimp with stuff like betta, livebearers and other fish like one random goldfish. yet they still were able to hide in the plants enough to have a population going. i'm just surprised that they can even get by with discus around.

you can't catch platies ? catch them at night when they are sleeping. or very early morning when its dark. they pretty much stand still when you fist turn on the light in the room.

I have one platy in my tank, and am wondering if it will pass on soon (close to 2 years old now) so that my tank becomes all fish from South America.
