Mike Jodway - 6 years ago

Best video by far!!! Very entertaining and educational!! Great job!!!!!

brent245 - 6 years ago

Nice format, but one suggestion, speed up the transitions between the 1-10. It kinda got awkward. like between 4:29 and 4:35. I'd cut it down to 3-4 seconds instead of 6. I think it would help the pace.

brent245 - 6 years ago

+KGTropicals cool man! I think you will be successful with this!

Thank you for this information guys!! Awesome stuff :)

Heidi's Fish Tank - 6 years ago

I absolutely love my discus. I got mine at my LFS who gets them from Hans Discus. They are just so beautiful. I do keep mine in a 55 though. So I guess I’m a rule breaker but to be honest I can get a larger tank if they need it. The biggest thing I’ve found is just keeping the temperature really high.

BigDsmoke - 6 years ago

Great video & info on discus, really like how ya put it together Thanks!! I definitely want to do a Discus tank one day, have so many projects I wanna do lol!!

Johnson joe - 6 years ago

Great video John..Please do such Fish profile videos.

Thomas Zaccone - 6 years ago

I read somewhere that discus also prefer higher temperature ranges than many other tropicals - like in the upper 80s, which makes cardinals an ideal companion species.

NiX aKi - 6 years ago

For #1 and #8, since they are line bred to the core, they can adapt to almost any kind of water. It's better to have them acclimated to your water so you won't have problems in the future. However, it is important to check the TDS from your tap first before deciding to keep them. Too much alkalinity may cause harm to their health. 500 TDS is scary. It may mean that it's too alkaline for them.

Thomas Zaccone - 6 years ago

I agree. I have very hard tapwater and set up a large angelfish/rainbowfish/dwarf cichlid community tank. I cut the tapwater with distilled commercial water and couldn't stop the angels and dwarf cichlids from breeding. But they are right about matching the water the didcus were raised in. There is a range of hardness and pH that is acceptable to them and what they are accustomed to is best.

Melanie Lizz - 6 years ago

What do you guys think about the Anoxic Filtration system? I have a 125 with 5 discus and black neon tetras and i was considering adding this to my sump?

Melanie Lizz - 6 years ago

MELODY MUNRO i seem to have a black thumb when it comes to any kind of plant in water or out lol so thats what made me consider this filtration system.

MELODY MUNRO - 6 years ago

Anoxic filtration is an interesting method - used more widely by koi keepers. I like to use a refugium in my sumps - a good place to store and grow extra plants.

KGTropicals - 6 years ago

I actually haven't heard of that. I'll have to look into it.

Paul Martin - 6 years ago

That was fantastic!! I can't wait till the next "10 things you should know".
