After debating how and when to start up my Discus tank - I decided to follow Discus Paul's advice and opted to wait until I actually had the 55 gallon and use my current 33 gallon tank for angel fish. In the 55 gallon, I was thinking of either just putting a large piece of driftwood in the tank and nothing else or adding some pool filter sand, a 3 sword plants, and a medium piece sword plant. My current sword plant has 3 baby sword plants growing... so I would use those. I have a Fluval 306 but don't have a light yet. Would 5 adult Discus be ok in either setup? I am not planning on breeding Discus and I will be making a trip to see Hans over the next few months (once I cycle the 55 gallon) so I am pretty sure the fish will be healthy. It'll be up to me to keep them healthy! I read about the various pros and cons about having a gravel and plants and because I am new to Discus I want to start a step at the time and make it "easier" to not mess up with my first Discus tank.
