#51: 374L Aquatic Garden

Ruben Arturo Silhy San Salvador, El Salvador

Comments

This is a pretty tank and a good example of how beautifully discus do in a well-planted tank. Unfortunately the dark photos make it very difficult to assess the tank. I suspect it shows much better in person but we can only judge what we see and these photos have large sections of deep shadow.
