I use DIY CO2 as well and it makes a HUGE difference, provided there is enough light of course. Glad the Discus and Angels are working out for you. Personally, I would just go with one or the other but hey, whatever works!

Jeff, a flying fox is also called a Siamese Algae Eater (wrongly). They look a lot like Chinese Algae Eaters but with two definite stripes. Plus, they don't get as big.

Beautiful tank corrado!!

Good to see everything is working out for you. It is working because the fish are so far small. Later when they get bigger in size, your discus will probably die....flat out, i wont sugar coat it for you. Discus and angels do not mix. Read any reputable book on them and you will soon find out. Actually, flying foxes are often to aggressive for them....basically any fast swimming fish and discus dont mix. As for the rest of the set up, cool, but if any of these fish grow you are definately going to need a bigger tank. Both Discus and Angels need tall tanks. Discus need soft acidic water, and lots of roots, and shaded areas to be successful. Sorry, i dont mean to criticize but after keeping discus for many years, i know what they can, and what they cant be mixed with. Bottom line, if you want them to live, remove the flying foxes and the angels!

thank you guys

Shane my discus and angel are full grown and the tank is running for about 3 years it's a long time i keep fish and i work in a pet store in the fish and reptile departement so it's the best place to try someting.
