I have a pair of discuss, apisto agassizi and 2 kribs in a 55 gallon. and they choose to breed and hang out all at the same place. The kribs are hiding in the Amazon Sword because the male Apisto Agassizi is a bully.
The pecking order goes something like this: discus, male apisto, female apisto, kribs.
The discus recently had eggs, so they have become very aggressive, and they don't much like having the the kribs around.
and the male apisto does not like the kribs, so the kribs are lurking in Amazon sword leaves to escape all the turmoil.

Then we finally have the full tank shots with PVC adapter "caves"
As you can see, there's the big Amazon Sword, and there's the breeding discus, and that's where the kribs hang out! and the female apisto has a PVC cave underneath the big swordplant. : )

I like the agassizi. Any luck with spawning them yet? I've got some too, but only two males.
BTW: That foreground plant is tennellus 'micro'; also a cool plant.
See here for a pic of Ranalisma rostrata: http://www.victri.net/plants/ranalisma_01_big.jpg
See here for a pic of tenellus 'micro':

It's tough to tell from pictures, but the tenellus is a more olive green and gets those red highlights like yours has.
Good luck with those discus.

Oh, I don't think the shot is terrible. It might not be the highest resolution, but it doesn't look too over or under-exposed, and gives the gist of what the tank looks like in person. Don't worry about it until you're entering into a photo contest, and then you don't have to worry about a 100k limit!
