Who Gives A Fish Forums

Happy to help! One more thing—lighting. If they're darting after changes, dim the lights for an hour. Mine act less spooked when it's moody in there. Like a fishy spa day.

I picked up a terracotta pot today. Gonna sand it down and toss it in tonight. Fingers crossed my fish like it as much as yours do. Tank's been stable, 84°F, pH 6.6, with a sponge filter and sand.

That's awesome! I've heard PVC pipes work too, but I've never tried them. My Discus seem to prefer smooth surfaces. Maybe I'll give the terracotta a shot. My tank's similar, 45 gallons, with a HOB filter and lots of floating plants. Water's at 83°F, pH 6.8.
