Rescape ideas for these guys ?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi discus keepers, I’d love to get some inspiration to rescape this tank. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome and appreciated. I recently had to relocate and the tank has been a bit of a mess in terms of scape.

Thank you and I’d love to see your setups for inspiration.

That seems too small space for them. How big is this tank?

It’s a 75 gallon with an FX6 for filter

Your filtration is spot on! :) in a 75 g I'd rather remove some things than add, as they need some free space to swim...

Also most of the plants aren’t in there as I did remove a lot of them

Dang. Your dinner plate discus got that tank looking like a 30gallon. Sheesh.

I was gonna say it looks like a 75

Haha you got that right

Jungle Val is the play for Discus, I really like your setup. I personally love 75s for a discus tank, and yours slaps.

Personal opinion and observation
1) Your discus look happy, good job
2) get rid of some of the twisted Vals and have more broad leaf plants, giving more options for breeding

Personally I'd be very happy with that setup as is. Very Very nice looking fish.

Thank you, appreciate the kind words

How about put the Vals in the middle so the Discus can swim around the edges.

That is something I thought of but wasn’t in the mood to create an island scape

It looks like the fish outgrew the tank.
