Hiya all, I'm setting up my new 350 litre Aquarium and would like to keep it well planted as i did my last one, only this time i would also like to keep discus fish. I aways used ADA Amazonia, but not sure its suitable for these fish. So could anyone tell me if this is suitable for the discus eating habits? As i know they like to blow their food off the ground and i know ADA Amazonia gives off little clouds of dust and ammonia when disturbed... I was also thinking maybe Amazonia at the back and nile sand at the front if it would help or any other ideas and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

ADA Amazonia and discus?

I think the mix of ada and sand should be fine. I have a 350 scaped discus tank and they spend most of the time eating from the front of the tank.
They will blow their food, but should cause a problem especially if it will be heavily planted.
Just ensure that the tank is cycled and the right tempreture etc. Should be easy.

One of our client uses Amazonia Powder as a soil for a 800L discus tank. Plants and Discus love it. She used Marsilea Hirsuta as a carpet plant there which gives a great green color even in a deep tank with low light and a bit of co2.
Omg i just googled this plant and it looks and sounds perfect for me, I have a Juwel vision 300, (new version) with 4x54 watts t5's its 350 litres so it's definately deep, and yes this'll look great. I'll go for maybe 4 bags of Amazonia powder instead of the normal Anazonia soil then. Any other suggestions please let me knowviktorlantos said:
