(most of) the fish are in!

The current stocking is 9 black neons, 30 rummynose, 20 cardinals, 6 sterbai cories, 4 rineloricaria filamentosa, 2 apistogrammas viejita ii and 1 bristlenose. The red ozelot echinodorus is also in, but sadly the marble queen echinodorus didnt arrive :(
The Discus will have to wait a bit more, probably a couple of months, because the tetras came smaller than i was expecting but cant complain because of their price 😅

The update you’ve asked for

It’s still on the works 😅 Friday I’m receiving more stuff: 1 Marbled Queen and 1 Red Ozelot Echinodorus, 1 Nymphaea Rubra and 1 Hygrophila Pinnatifida.
For fish, I’m receiving: 30 Rummynose Tetras, 20 Cardinal Tetras, 2 Apistogrammas Macmasteri and 4 Rineloricaria Filamentosa. Tank already has 6 Sterbai Cories, 1 BN Pleco and 9 Black Neon Tetras.
In 2-3 weeks, I’ll be moving the Discus over to this tank with the rest of the Corydoras.
After that, I’m ordering: 20 Blackwing Hatchetfish, 6 Emerald Cories and 6 F1 Orinoco Altums
I’ll be dropping more pics on friday 😁

Lights decided, plant time 😅

After a long time to decide which lights to use that were inside my budget, I ended up making my mind choosing to use two Twinstar 90G. Now, the hard part, to chose what plants to use, can you guys give me some recommendations? Plants that would fit Discus temps (28°C-30°C) and would be of the fishes liking

LED lighting advice needed

Hello all. Here I am again, this time with an upgrade. I recently got a new tank, which is 190 x 60 x 75 centimeters. I need LED lighting for it, but here’s where the problem begins. Getting a good and budget friendly light but also good/powerful for a tank like this it’s not the easiest thing. It is going to be for South American fish, center piece are Discus. Two things I really need the lighting system to mandatorily do is being able to regulate both light intensity and temperature, and that the light can be installed suspended. Right now, I am pondering on buying 2 Chihiros WRGB II Slim 60 and the suspension kit, but I’m making this post in order to hear opinions from other people, maybe people with similar sized tanks. Open to every piece of advice :)

Hello everyone. First of all, sorry for the bad pictures. I forgot to actually take better ones of this individual.
I recenty decided I wanted to turn my 20 thousand liter pond into a Koi pond, so I ordered 4 butterfly Koi, but one of them is black. Now, I am confused, because I am not sure if this is really a butterfly Koi, or a common carp. Could you guys help me ID? Thank you in advance.

Haven’t posted in a while. After being out of the country for 3 months, I finally came back and decided I wanted to do something to the layout. It’s not finished yet, still missing some plants here and there but it’s going my way. Also, 2 days ago got a new guy, I felt like the tank needed some yellow color so there it is, dude is out and about already, like it’s been in the tank since day 1
