Default Altums and Discus..

I have been on the lookout for some good sized AAs to be added to my discus tank. Sadly, most of the AA sellers that I visited either had AAs that were stunted and/or just eager to make a quick buck. Had the good fortune that a good bro was releasing his AAs and quickly snapped them up to complete the tank. These 2013 AAs were an impressive size, my discus are 7-8" across for perspective. Enough talking... here are the pics of the AAs.













Full Tank Shot

Superb set up
The Altums were a good addition really.
Maybe some XL cardinals too?

Thanks bros...there are already 10 flameback bleeding heart tetras in the tank, their bodies are broader than cardinals so hopefully the AAs will leave them alone. Unfortunately, they do not swim left and right in the presence of the discus and AAs but just hang around at the top left hand corner, so didn't get the impact I desire.

I think it will take some time for the tetras to be familiar with the Altums and Discus.

Had this experience with rummy nose initially too.

Once they are better orientated to the surround, they will move around more.
