Who Gives A Fish Forums

Thanks for the heads-up, everyone. Gonna skip the Gonis for now and maybe try a Cyphastrea instead. Less drama.

I've got a mixed reef tank with some SPS and was thinking of adding a Goniopora. Heard they can be tricky, but will they mess with my Acros and Montis? Tank's a 75g, running dual AI Primes, params stable at 8.2 dKH, 420 Ca, 1350 Mg.

Plants are a game-changer. They soak up nitrates, so you can stretch water changes a bit. Java fern and anubias are bulletproof, no fancy lights needed. Just tie to driftwood with fishing line. My Discus love perching on the leaves.

How old are your Discus? Juveniles need more protein, so beef heart's a solid call. I'd add some driftwood too, helps with pH and gives them hiding spots. Found mine at a local river, just boiled it. Saved like $50.

Re: Two Males or Pair?

From what I see, I'm leaning towards two males. The squared caudal fin and pointed dorsal fin are pretty telling signs. Then there's the aggression - it seems more like rivalry than courtship. I hope I'm off the mark and you do have a pair, though.
