i have kept them before. I loved them....they required alot of time and i loved it when they mate and spawn. I use to sell my paired discus for almost 100 bucks. They are not the most active fish in the world but their coloring can be beatiful. I have done almost evey tank and now im trying a reef
my first tank was
20 long with basic fish
55 gallon with aworwas
75 discus tank
90 afircan cichlids
75 fish only saltwater
and now im doing a 75 reef
its a never ending hobby

Thanks DvSKin! The tank is an AGA 90g with a Fluval 404 and Magnum 350 canister filter. I have 50lbs of Flourite and 40lbs of black gravel in there. I am running a 110w 10k PC and 80w of NO lights. About 75% of the plants are real and the others are very high quality artificials.
I think it looks pretty good personally.
Thanks for the ID on the Cardinal Tetras........I thought they were Neons.

You are correct about the Cardinals J-Cal. Thanks. I need to stop by your shop and see what's happening.......you should do the same if you are ever in my neck of the woods.
I kept Bosemani Rainbows for about 3 years and I loved them.....I wish I could keep them with my Discus, but I don't think that they can handle the high temperature......not completely sure.

heres a picture of one of our freshwater tanks. We have three. One os this tank, one is a community tank, an dthe last is for an electric blue crawfish. This pic is of my girlfriends "baby" This is her target puffer. This is an incredibly aggressive eating machine that had to be quickly moved to her own tank. She started gnawng on fish twice her size! Anyway its not a great pic, but here is a 3" or so Target Puffer.
