I am very surprised to see Koi and Discus together, I am very curious about this. What temperature do you keep the tank at? What about ph? What is the filtration and water change schedule?

I keep the tank at 86 a little high for the koi but it was more of a test and they grew to fast there for sale as there now to big 120 for all three and a small black one i have a 90 gallon sump with 120 pounds of ceramic rings and about 2000 gph return and I do 3 30% water changes a week never test the water i use tap water right in to the tank and just add prime and have never had a problem

Man thats nice!! I am big discus fan as well but just dont have the room for a discus tank.

Where do you get your fish from?

Wow if thats a 420 those are some monster discus! They are beautiful! The frequent waterchanges is probably the 'saving grace' if I might put it that way, since you dont change pH and dont dechlorinate first etc... Im a little surprised actually if your doing 30% at a time. But your fish look great so it must be working. 86 is a nice temp... and yeah your koi must poop a lot at that temp lol, I can see why they would have grown fast!

The leopoldi is beautiful! I gotta ask though... no sand for the rays?

Thanks for sharing! Cheers,

Chris
