How should I decorate my 75 gallon freshwater tank??

[biigpapasmurf]

Im going to have 6 discus fish, a peppermint pleco, and 2 peacock eels.
I know I have to get driftwood.
Should I get 1 or 2 Ornament bamboo tunnels for the eels?
Also what else should I put in the tank?
And what could I feed them so everybody is happy?

I would get 2 bamboo tunnels, it's better to have more, rather than not enough.
feed them a variety of foods. back when I was really new to the hobby, I just fed them 1 type of flakes. That really sucked for them (would you like to eat only plain pasta for your whole life? No, and it wouldn't be healthy.) I now feed all my fish a diet of 2 kinds of flakes, shrimp pellets, live food (usually blood worms), and veggies (cucumber, leattuce etc.) and sometimes something new. Oh, and they all have an unlimited supply of algae
good luck!

use some nice rock to make lots of hiding places for the eels and whatnot, bamboo tunnels sounds cool as well.

I think light-colored sand (like white pool filter sand) or light-colored gravel (like a light natural stone color) would look awesome with a couple big chunks of mopani wood and the bamboo tunnels. Maybe do it in an Oriental/Asian-themed decor.

Use some things like this: PETCO Bamboo Stalks Aquatic Décor at PETCO
and maybe this as a centerpiece with the driftwood on either side: PETCO Large Buddha Sitting Freshwater Aquaruim Décor at PETCO

Just be careful not to add anything that will change the water quality as the Discus are very sensative to less than perfect water conditions.
