My aquarium has been pearling, but it just looks so good...!
The camera I'm using probably won't pick up the super tiny oxygen bubbles. Things are looking real good!
I did have to remove the Java Moss since it looked as if hair algae was covering most of it. My Cambobas are also gone due to high water temps; at least I think that's what did them in.

How's everyones' pearling going?

Nice tank, 80. I am awaiting a custom stand for my new 120, then this month I will be setting up my show - all the bells and whistles - hope to have good pearling of course!

How much work are the discus? What do you feed, how often, etc.

Not much 'work' at all. The temp needs to be higher than normal. Right now I'm keeping it at 87 degrees F.
I feed them beefheart, frozen bloodworms, Color Bits (small pellets), and frozen brine shrimp. They haven't really taken to flake food yet. I like to let them have a variety..2 to 3 times daily.

A 120 gallon sounds great! Good luck with it, and I hope to see pics of it! :)
