Pics of my new discus! (Nobody laugh)

I have a decent camera and cant get pics that good. Nice Discus too. Planning a 150 Discus tank for next year.

that is an AWSOME set up you got their man. awsome. and the fish look great, and I dont know why you say that you have bad photography skills...its fairly obvious that they're good. Great fish. Beautiful. Good luck with all of them.

(love that pleco)

Well I took a load of pics and these are the only good ones. Even these have blurred fish in them which I think is mostly the camera. With a better camera I think I can improve. I read an article on photography and am looking forward to apply those tips with a good camera. Personally I think the pics look better because of the subjects... just like you don't see any bad pictures of Charlize Theron. :D

Speaking of the pleco, do you know what kind it is? I have one that looks just like it. It doesn't look like the normal run of the mill plecos that I see around here.

It's a sailfin pleco. I really like him a lot, always busy cleaning but never bothering the other fish.
 
that is an amazing tank. what are you water parameters? Looks really good, but what is that huge pleco doing in there. I think that i read that plecos will try to eat the slime off the discus????
 
Gorgeous Discus! Nice Pictures!! Lovely Pleco!! I've always wanted to have Discus. The LFS near my house, sell them really cheap. How big is your tank?

The water is as of 2 hours ago:

ph 7
kh 4
dh ~5 (not quite 4 not quite 5)
82 degrees
nh3 0
no2 0

I heard the slime eating rumors too, that pleco has never bothered another fish, in fact he got chased all over last night for getting too close to a large discus. (what a coward!) :D

The temp is a bit high for the plecos but I have had them in this tank for years with no problems at all.

Thanks! It is 270 gallons.
 
I am seriously jealous of your tank. Hopefully one day I can have a 300ish gallon tank that has discus, cardinals and pencilfish in it. I would have more plants but that is about it. Do you do large daily water changes? Do you have a thread on how you built a cement tank?? I am very interested in making my own tank.....
