My Amazonic Biotope 400Lts with Altums and wild Discus.

Hello people I want to share with you my new project, it's about amazonic biotope, the tank capacity is 400lts, I started on this project since 1 month ago. I spend 1 day mounting this project.

I started keeping Discus since 1 year ago, and always my dream was to have a wild discus, and altums, I know those are most difficult fresh water fish to keep, but it always was my goal, so right know I get it and I am enjoying and learning.

I hope that you like my project and if you have any comment or any advice, feel free to let me know.

Wow! you're stock is gorgeous. Man, everyone in costa rica seems to have all these amazing setups. Anyways, yeah, just a tip, paint the back, because all that sunlight is gonna bring in a lot of algae and it probably won't be too good for the fish too (im not too sure). Yeah, but other than that, Gorgeous.

thanks Matt I appreciate your opinion, and you are right in Costa Rica some of us have a very good stock in our tanks.

For the tip I fixed that problem with a black plastic in the back part the last pictures show that.
