I am working on a Discus-Plant-Tank with a Pinpoint co2 controller and
co2bottle. I am looking for a good book or good advise on:
Wich Plants can handle the temp.?
How much co2 do I plan on?
This is the first interaction I attempt on the net, please be patient with me.
Thanks
Horst

On tropica's web site (www.tropica.com), I think they let you select discus
tank and they give you a long list of plants that can be kept with discus.
I have several varieties of swords, crypts, anubias, and java fern in my
discus tank. I do not keep stem plants b/c I got tired of disturbing the
fish due to weekly trimmings.

Check out my fish site @

Or just a whole lot of macro and aquarium pictures @

There is a plant index on tropica's web site that identifies temperature ranges
(and other envioronmental parameters) for many plants.

Right now, I am not able to access the site; hopefully its still there! Try
your luck: either http://www.tropica.com and look for a link to the plant
index, or more directly http://192.38.244.204/go.asp?show=products I hope you
have better luck pulling up the site than I did!

For CO2 levels and management, see Chuck Gadd's web page:

You'll find many good articles on this site about many topics. -Bruce

If it doesn't work, go to the simply discus forum and look under plants.
There is a discussion going on about this topic.

lower the temp into 27ºc, most plants including some that don't like above
26 will be fine in that enviroment.

I have a helthy bunch of discus in a aquarium at 27ºc with glossostigma (max
26ºc)

I convinced a colegue to drop his 3 discus ( he had many problem with them
bought 10 only 3 remained) into his comunity tank with 27ºc....
it was allmoust 3 months ago... now he says that his discus never looked
better...
27ºc might be a better temp for discus...

the problem is this "low" temperatura could enhance parasitic activities...
but that is not my experience....
