I was thinking of getting some discus for my 180ltr tank, do they need certain types of plants or no plants? All the tanks I see are empty apart from wood. I know it’s to show off the fish but I would like a planted tank as well as discus
There are no limitations regarding the type of plants that can be used in a discus tank. The rules for keeping discus healthy coincide with the rules for keeping plants healthy. That means large and frequent water changes. What may be problematic is that you'll need careful attention to CO2 management if this is a CO2 injected tank. If so then you would do well to get the plants and CO2 sorted prior to adding the fish. To help significantly reduce the required level of CO2 it's suggested to keep the lighting low to medium.I was thinking of getting some discus for my 180ltr tank, do they need certain types of plants or no plants?
