Am looking for a good substrate to encorage plant growth,in a planted discus aquarium,will also be topping this up with an inch of 2/3mm gravel,anyone any ideas
thanks......Mark
It all depends on what you fancy. I chose fine gravel as its easy to clean and for plants.
Also if any food sit on top of the gravel the discus can see it perfectly well. Generally all discus food are coloured so the ever so diligent discus fish will enjoy wolfing down the pellets that may sit on top of gravel.
If you keep other fish along, such as corys etc might prefer sand. I have been wanting to try black sand but opted against it as over time it can compact quite densly and harded to gravel vac.
Thanks guys have decided to go with eco complete with sand on top as i'm sure discus and corys will appreciate this .
Colin reckon you could be right about the peppering as i'm sure i've read this somewhere before.
