Art of Aquaria just got a bunch of new discus!

These awesome are one of our favorites, although they have some special requirements (clean, warmer water) they are peaceful and well suited to community tanks, get relatively large, and come in a rainbow of colors!

Due to their special breeding habits (parents produce an extra nutritional coating on their skin and both feed and protect their babies), their need for clean water, and their relatively slow growing nature, these fish generally come with a higher price tag.

That being said, if you’ve read this far here’s a SECRET DISCUS SALE for our social media subscribers: This week (July 29- August 5) mention this post for 10% off any discus, 15% off any 3 or more discus!

The species of that we have available are all approachable in regards to care and generally only take a few minutes each week to maintain a reliable and healthy self-produced food source for the home aquarium.

You betta-believe that at Art of Aquaria we love ! And when you love someone, you try to treat them right.

One thing that always irritated us about the big box stores was walking in to see a shelf packed with 40 bettas in almost shot glass sized plastic cups, 10 of them only half full of water, 5 of them dead due to mistreatment.

Remember, when you “rescue” a fish from one of these stores that choose to keep their animals in poor conditions, you vote with your dollar for them to continue exactly what they’re doing. This actually incentivizes them to continue poor husbandry practices, and puts more thimble-sized cup money into their pockets to abuse more fish!

That’s why we built out this custom “betta hotel” system with rimless aquariums, complete with and to house these guys (and gals) comfortably while they await their forever homes!

(Also a fish order)

We were able to get some great looking in like these salvinia, hornwort, locally grown as well as a great selection of , and a trial run of some very fancy . (Swipe for the list)

Floating plants make a great addition to many aquariums with their relatively quick nitrogen removal abilities and resistance to being disturbed by many species of fish that will usually eat or “redecorate” substrate-bound aquatic plants. The roots and undersides of floaters also provide a whole new section of healthy biofilms for grazers like aquatic shrimp to feed on.
