Oh my gosh! Your Discus are stunning! Very nice Cardinal tetras, too.

The photos are not showing in your post -- but the link (clicking word "link") does take us to your page to see the images.

Thanks Judy. I spend a lot of time caring for them, but I love it. I still havent found a good way of linking the post with pics. I tried all kinds of different ways

Photobucket provides a quick link to paste into forum codes just like this forum.
The screenshot/picture below is from Facebook and you would simply copy and paste the img name which comes already with all the code you need (the forth one down):


Example, here is one of your beautiful Discus pictures from your photobucket

hi Anti

Your Discus are beautiful. 
I have always admired Discus but was put off on starting a Discus tank because all that I read informed me that they like heavily planted tanks and I am not interested in live plant aquarium keeping.  So I was surprised that you have a very minimalist plant tank with Discus.  Are your plants artificial or live?  I will certainly be looking forward to future photos and perhaps some videos of your Discus tank. 
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Ameenah thanks for looking. Actually the plants are artificial, they are just on the higher end of cost. I want to do live plants one day, but thats a whole other realm I dont want to get into right now. Its not hard keeping discus. Get them from a good source. Not local unless it comes straight from a breeder. And do your research . I went to plenty of sites and settled on this one. AQP has the best and most consistent information out there and this tank is a result of that. Oh did I mention plenty of TLC? By the way, did you click on the picture?; cause it links up with photobucket.

I 2nd what anti stated.
Getting good, healthy discus is half the battle!

I have maintained many discus tanks over the years with little problems assuming I followed most if not all of the procedures outlined in my "Aquarium Disease Prevention Article".
Reference:
www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Aquarium_Disease.html

The majority of these tanks actually had artificial plants or were a mix of artificial and some low light plants

BTW, you ought to share a link to where you bought your discus here

Hi anti,

Looks like your Discus like to be photographed (smile). My favorite one is the yellow and red in the middle. Do they have names?

Cheers,

Judy

If you are referring to the 150 gallon wooden tank; then yes. Believe me it was a learning process. If you want a more detailed explaination of what I went through then look under the blog section
