Why waste it on FW :) :)

very nice FW what kind of plants do you have in there and what are you stocking in it

discus will look good in that tank

I think my wife will actually slit my throat if I buy another fish! Aren't discus aggressive? I have 3 butterfly and 2 ram ciclids, 2 clown loaches, 4 rasboras, 2 large angels, 1 zebra, 1 plecostomas, 2 odessa barbs, a coolie loach and a frog! Mixed real and fake plants, just purchased a med. sword, don't know the other species.

Swishfish:
Tank would make a great reef and I designed it to switch over very easily. Cost and existing 30g FW tank stock prevented me (and the wife) from converting. Plus it's in my sons bedroom and if it was SW it would be in mine:)

i havent heard that discus are agressive but most people that do discus wont put anything with them because the discus dont do well unless your water is perfect and other fish just add to the bio load
i have a 240 fresh with assorted african chiclids (20) that are reproducing a school of skirted tetras several diffrent types of loaches i med frontosa 1 jewel chiclid and some other roach fish that people woulda have flushed
