Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'd also come across that in my research and it added to their appeal for me. My previous experience with a bristlenose was a bit of a different story, though - he was a heavy waste producer.

Thanks for the info. I do have some areas with deeper sand, but most of it's manageable. My main concern's the spots under the wood and ornaments - they're pretty hard to reach. But, I've got live plants with roots in the sand around those areas, so I guess that's helping. I just get these ...

I'm running a 20 gallon tank with sand substrate, and it's a bit of a challenge when it comes to maintenance. The back is heavily planted, and there are lots of ornaments that make it tough to get into all the nooks and crannies during partial water changes.

I've seen a lot of Discus in my time, and ...

Nice looking discus from Josie/Miranda......are the eggs on the heater?
