Do discus eat Spirulina at all? I've noticed that it works as a color neutral color enhancer.

Again as I mentioned to Paul, I'm relatively new to discus but my original attraction to this species was colors. Have read documentation on the natural color enhancing, and disease resistance of blue-green algae found in spirulina & thought to incorporate it in my overall diet. To answer your query, yes they do. They don't tear at it w/ the same enthusiasm as the live black worms but then thats to be expected. I' m sure both you & I have certain foods or drinks that we are more passionate about consuming than others. (a grilled steak / Jack Daniels come quickly to mind). Anything that will help improve the end result - beautiful, colorful, healthy discus is what we want. I think they are going to be stars when they grow up :

They are well on their way! "T"

Love it! Yes, for me it would be cheese pizza and a craft beer...but I also like lemongrass tea and a mixed green salad

Great scape, beautiful discus (as usual) Paul!! Interesting discussion on the Tetra products. Although not presently using them, have had great success in the past with SA's & CA's. I believe the diversity in your overall diet for your guys is key to them looking so well. I haven't been at discus very long but I put together my OCD (lol) diet list to incorporate a broad spectrum. Food varies every couple a days - live blackworms, Hans frozen beef mix, San Fran Bay Frozen Bloodworms, Mysis Shrimp, Ocean Nutrition Discus Flakes, Als Austrailian freeze dried blackworms, O.S.I. Spirulina Flakes, NLS Discus Formula pellets & Dainichi Cichlid - Color FX + Vita-Chem once a week. "T"

Thank you.
As for the tidy & clean tank - that's actually quite easy to do, just takes a fair bit of work & attention ! LOL
btw, the deep red one is a HB Red Snake Skin if you care to know.

BTW folks, I meant to apologize earlier for the quality of the re-scape pics.

The camera settings weren't quite right, the tank water was a little hazy due to the shots being taken the day after the re-scape was completed, and my photography was a little off due to the pics being taken after a second Lemon Hart & cola (blurring ?) - I know, I know.....excuses, excuses....!

So here's a smoother set of pics taken the following day for you to get a better look at what the tank really looks like on a 'good day':
