I was on a chat at a Discus website and get chewed out by regulars for mentioning live plants and Discus in the same sentence. It seems to be the 'trend' there to have bare tanks - and no other way is acceptable, almost to the point of abusing the fish if plants are in the same tank. I was just a bit shocked at the narrow-mindedness of these people. For me, I couldn't have Discus in a bare tank. I realize this may be good for breeders, but not at all for me. I had no idea this is such a touchy topic for some.
I think some may be just too lazy to keep maintenance going on their aquariums. At least a couple of them leaned that way when they mentioned the extra 'unneeded' effort. One even said "plants and Discus just cannot be done." Weird........
