Pelvicachromis taeniatus

The plants are growing so well that the discus is finding it tough to move around, left with only a small area above the riccia.

Have not seen the female taeniatus for the past two days. Am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that the tank will see babies soon. Am half decided whether to trim down the plants. On one hand, with such a thick undergrowth, the discus is not able reach for the fries (if there are gonna be some). On the other hand, the tank is so packed with plants that one can's see anything. Starting to look a little messy, though still no sign of the dreaded hair algae for almost 3 weeks.
