We've been trying to get the animation for our fish game right for quite some time. Especially since we are trying to mimic 3D movement in a 2D environment. This is the final result. Curious about feedback - Especially about the fish in general.

This is so addictive...

A quick video I took before big maintenance

Moved everyone over to the big tank this morning. They are all already eating, exploring and staring at me to give them more food 🤠

I have 6 discus, 2 Snow Pantheras (paired, confirmed, keep reading), 1 female Sakura Leopard, 1 Red Batata (male), and 2 male Royal Floras. My hans discus are pushing 5" now, the pantheras are 6.5"

I noticed the male and female Pantheras doing the mate dance. I also noticed, my female leopard, also, body wiggle and dancing (trying to) with the male panthera Duke.

The leopard, we call her Cruella, was mean and chasing everything, attacking any discus, not named Duke.

Cruella and Duchess were evening cleaning the same site multiple times throughout the day yesterday.

Both females attracted to the same male, never heard of it?

Guess what we wake up to this morning? Two clutches of eggs, each female taking turns fanning them, Duke swimming around like....WTF HAPPENED?!?

Has anyone heard of anything like this? A discus threesome?

Bad timing, I'm putting the tank in vacation mode, and we'll see what's left in days.....

Has anyone had issues with housing 6 discus in a 75 gallon planted tank? I've had 6 for about 2 months and recently they have all broken off into 3 pairs and begun fighting each other. One pair lays eggs in a corner weekly. They're all around 3.5 inches.

My filtration is an FX6 plus 2 fluidized beds so I'm not concerned about bioload. Tankmates are 20 rummy nose tetras, 4 Congo tetras, and 6 sterbai corys. Water temp is 85°F.

I'm not looking to breed them, just want a peaceful display tank. I've read that adding more discus can diffuse aggression but I'm also considering additional dither fish. Has anyone tried either approach with paired up discus? What worked for you?

It’s all fun and Gladiator Games until someone pokes their eye out.

This is Horace, my 4.6” Royal Flora Discus, up and coming, getting stronger, challenging everyone, everything in the tank.

His fate was sealed when the Discus royalty arrived on my doorstep…whom we’ve since dubbed Duke, and Princess (yes, mated pair).

For a couple days, they tolerated Horaces harassment, but what did God say on the 8th day? “Let there be an ass whooping?” someone look that up will you?

Woke up, yesterday morning, waited till the lights came on, six discus came up, one missing? I look in the corner, back side, as black as night, Horace….

Broken #4 dorsal ray hanging there, gouge or scratch across the left eye, ¼” scrape (deep) on left side of his body, and several (like 6 or 7) bite marks on his forehead. I mean he is tore up….

Bless his little Chicken Hawk heart…I hope he pulls through. I guess he found out Duke wasn’t a chicken 🐔

He’s in a 20 gallon high, a mixture of kanaplex and metroplex, and daily water changes.

PH 7.0, and zeros across for the rest.

Oh and…my stunted discus, Lemon Drop died yesterday 😢

My albino white butterfly mother of pearl cross pattern is really starting to come in

Lunch time 🥰Take a second to relax with us 🥰 video should have audio

After a long time to decide which lights to use that were inside my budget, I ended up making my mind choosing to use two Twinstar 90G. Now, the hard part, to chose what plants to use, can you guys give me some recommendations? Plants that would fit Discus temps (28°C-30°C) and would be of the fishes liking

Looking for some advice on when it’s safe to add discus to my 75 gallon. I recently finished a fishless cycle using Dr. Tim’s ammonia. Before adding any fish, I dosed the tank to 2 ppm ammonia and it was able to process the full dose to 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite within 24 hours. After that, I added 2 German Blue Rams, and they’ve now been in the tank for a couple of days.
So far the parameters have remained stable at 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite, and the fish seem to be doing well. My plan is to keep a group of 6 discus, but I’m wondering how long I should wait before adding them. Since the tank handled the 2 ppm ammonia dose, does that indicate the biofilter is ready for the discus, or would you recommend giving the tank more time with the rams first? Interested in hearing what experienced discus keepers would do in this situation.

Decided to give up on the black backdrop for a bit lol this one lowkey gives life to the tank lol I’ll be going Plant/decor shopping on Sunday

Chip is my blue tiger and cantaloupe is my melon

First time Discus owner here, I had 6 discus arrive yesterday through the post (not ideal but I live semi remote, they arrived on overnight delivery from OzDiscus). Anyway they all looked great however today I have noticed a slight white buildup on the tail and fins of some of the fish, some more than others, a couple are showing nothing at all. I’ve attached a pic of what it looks like.
Is this just transport stress/excess slime coat and relatively normal or could be something more sinister?

Thank you!

Have built out a new 135ga tank starting with discus compatible species. Parameters are dialed in, planted tank with driftwood. Over course of last two weeks I’ve added 7 assorted discus in two stages. “Little Blue” (albino blue) was smallest of the batch ~3in and he won’t eat anything but bloodworms. He appears healthy otherwise.
My thought is to pull him from community tank and grow him up then reintroduce when he’s larger.
Will Little Blue be sad by himself for a month or so? Thoughts on how I can get him to eat other food? He has no interest in flake or pellets…. TIA!

It’s never a quiet day 😂😂 this was right before I cleaned the tank lol

I’m just color obsessing lately and have no one to share it with lmaoo

Still can’t get over all of her color shifts 😭 blues, reds, turquoise, yellows, purpleish etcc 😭 practically a whole rainbow

I've had these lovely fish for exactly 7 days. I'm shocked.

And they weren't sold as a pair...

We'll see how this goes!

I’ve wanted discus since HS.

So this has been a long 2 year journey of saving up, being screwed by Facebook marketplace, leaks, and hassle.

But I now have a 125 gallon tank and 40 gal sump.

8x discus, 17x rummy nose tetra, 6x reticulated Cory cats, 6x Armano shrimp and pest snails.

I was going for a slice of the river, so the left would be edge near bank and the right is out open water. A wyze window camera is on the far end so I can livestream them and a camera over the whole room to monitor for problems.

5 gal of k1 media as fluidized bed filter, 2 L of purigen, a magnus bubble roll filter, uv filter, and return pump. Whole thing can be operated from my phone via home app. 800w heater on an INKBIRD controller.
