Could I keep discus with neon tetras and other small fish?

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 6 years ago

As long as its not too small, adult neon tetra could work but babies may be at risk...my discus used to hunt my baby platy

If you spend 1000 for a tank with equipment, why not 200 more for the main thing of the aquarium?

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 6 years ago

Because that main thing isn't guaranteed to live...but good point

George Calderon - 7 years ago

I know I'm still waiting for my local fish store to get some more discus bcuz they're moving to a different location

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 7 years ago

Thank you, yes I just spent $100 for 2 more

This was a great video dw their are alot of misconceptions surrounding discus and you highlighted some really good questions .... I'd love to have discus but they scare me hahaha I think that I have been scared because of other discus keepers who have terrified me with their stories ...

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 7 years ago

Lol, thanks PB! I say if you could do a reef, than Discus will be a piece of cake for you if you ever get into keeping them!

Off topic question. Do you think it would be better to water change your way through a mini cycle, or just leave it fish and all and let it do its thing? 55 gal, planted, 30 male guppies, 3 rubber lip Pleco's, 2 L333 tiger Pleco's, 1 red tail shark and 1 beta . Been running for over 2 years

joey prince - 7 years ago

Cleaned the filter , must of lost too much bacteria

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 7 years ago

Hmmm...that's a risky situation. Doing water changes through out the cycle should help prevent death...but it will also may backfire and make it take longer to finish. What triggered it?

Vijay Sivasankaren - 7 years ago

What temperature are you keeping the tanks with discus inside them at?

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 7 years ago

I keep mine at 76F

LewisStickings3 - 7 years ago

whats a nice alternative to discus for a 33 gallon tank want lots of colour

LewisStickings3 - 7 years ago

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS ok thanks and do they have to be kept at 30°c (discus) cause im still thinking about them

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 7 years ago

You won't be able to get another group of fish with that shape of discus, but for color you have multiple types of killifish, gourami, rainbow fish, and dwarf cichlids like apisto's and rams

Owin Quash - 7 years ago

nice aquariums always lock in for new videos great job

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 7 years ago

Thank You!

i agree that we've priced alot of people out of the discus market, but hey supply and demand. I guess there really are people who will spend $400 on one jumbo... just not this person lol. great vid man, as always ✌

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 7 years ago

Lol, I'm with you on that! Thanks for stopping by!

BichirGuy 1990 - 7 years ago

the only thing i think you forgot to mention is stunting, if there water parameters go outta wack they can stunt and look more football shaped oppossed to tall but i agree 100% i dont think discus are worth the high price at all! awesome fish but over priced

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 7 years ago

Thank you, I never new about them losing shape with improper water parameters

George Calderon - 7 years ago

nice looking discus and thank you for all that good info like always great video

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 7 years ago

Thank You for stopping by!

Paul Shrieves - 7 years ago

Good video I learn a lot

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 7 years ago

Thank you, glad to know!

Lsey81 - 7 years ago

another great video! to touch on pricing, tho I personally have no interest or plan to ever to keep discus I'd prefer they stay higher priced to keep them out of big box stores, and inexperienced aquarist....a pet store I frequent had a bunch of my personal favorite (arrowana) fairly cheap and I watched more than a few ppl come in and buy em because they were cute not knowing exactly what they have just committed to

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 7 years ago

Thank You, great point....as much as I don't like spending a lot on these fish...the high price is definitely a good way to keep them in good hands!

LewisStickings3 - 7 years ago

i just saw a discus on its own and nearly bought it but wasnt sure bout my other fish. can someone check out my tank and see if it would be ok please

LewisStickings3 - 7 years ago

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS k thanks

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 7 years ago
