If the black sand is for the discus tank, I would rethink it. Unless you get all albinos, any with pigeon blood in them will show lots of peppering against the black. And take a trip to Aprils, she gets some nice discus in.

White sand is awesome. that's what I have in my planted discus. It makes their colour pop. Looks really good IMO.

i kinda wanna go with young discuss so they'll grow and itll be a big surprise what they turn out to be but there are a few different guys id prefer to get my hands on

That's what I did. Its lots of fun to see what they turn into.

All from April.

I am just getting started with plants myself, but I just have them planted into the sand. No other substrate. I am dosing with metricide and will be getting EI dosing going soon. From what I have been told that will be enough
