Beautiful

How do you maintain your discus so healthy?? My water levels are all good and I do water changes every other day and my discus have black spotting on them plus my plants aren’t flourishing like yours... I reduced the amount of time the light is on since I was told that that itself was killing the plants, I started giving them excel,potassium and iron and still my plants are good for a while and then they start dying off... I don’t know what else to do! Any ideas?

j03yYunG Aquariums - 6 years ago

How big are your daily water changes?

Jose a Valiente - 6 years ago

j03yYunG Aquariums oh and live plants I have plenty. But they too are doing so so. They’re good and growing for a while and then suddenly they start dying off.

j03yYunG Aquariums - 6 years ago

If the Discus is skinny, that could mean it has internal parasites. Try de-worming them. To reduce nitrates, either do water changes or have plants in the tank. You may want to test your tap water to make sure its not coming out high from the source. If it is, your only option would be RO/DI

j03yYunG Aquariums my discus didn’t die just the plants but my discus now seen to be getting sick... slimy looking and white spots on their eyes.. I think it might be my nitrates that are high but how else do I lower that?

j03yYunG Aquariums - 6 years ago

Black spots on Discus is normal for Pigeon strains. Were they skinny when they died?

anime harem echi - 6 years ago

hi , you can tell me the name of the oder red discu , i know 1 of the discus is a san merah but the other??? thanks

j03yYunG Aquariums - 6 years ago

One of this is San Merah, the other was a Red Valentine or Fuji Red from Kenny's Discus. http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?128966-PREVIEW-JUNE-2017-Forrest-shipment-(Price-list-included)

do u have any aggression from tiger barbs? i want a small group (4-6) but i have tetras and discus and whiptails and stuff like that

j03yYunG Aquariums - 8 years ago

+Braiden Saville I haven't seen any issues with my tiger barbs and Discus. Again its taking a chance since each fish has different personality.

Teng Xue - 8 years ago

Hi Joey, I'm a new follower of your channel, the discus are gorgous! Is that the Hai Khoon show quality albino leopard?

Teng Xue - 8 years ago

+j03yYunG Aquariums That's true... I feel like Kenny has more albino strains two years ago than now somehow

j03yYunG Aquariums - 8 years ago

+Teng Xue lol, yeah I've been waiting for more Hai Khoon Discus from Kenny, but he hasn't had any since 2 years ago. Yes this one was expensive since it was only a 3" Discus priced as a 5"+ Discus because it's a potential show quality. O_O

Teng Xue - 8 years ago

+j03yYunG Aquariums OMG OMG super beautiful and crazy expensive lol

j03yYunG Aquariums - 8 years ago

+Teng Xue Yup that Albino Leopard is from Hai Khoon.

AquaStudent - 8 years ago

The discus are so bright! They look like they were painted!
I've been wanting to keep discus for awhile but I just don't want to make that commitment.

Your group is absolutely gorgeous. The pleco is pretty neat too.

AquaStudent - 8 years ago

+j03yYunG Aquariums Oh I'd love to. I just can't afford them and I suck at keeping up with water changes :D

j03yYunG Aquariums - 8 years ago

+AquaStudent Thanks! You should totally get Discus for your 135 :)

ShamuAquariums - 8 years ago

What I love about getting new fish is that you can really see how big your original fish have gotten lol. The blue diamond is my favorite type of discus. Those roseline sharks or Denison barbs/torpedo barbs are huge and look pretty thick lol Must be nice to have that many big ones. I have 6 of them and my 2 big ones are about 5 or 5.5 inches while the others are still small but growing fast

MASS Aquariums - 8 years ago

Looking good. What are those blue and orange fish swimming with the roselines

MASS Aquariums - 8 years ago

Cool. I saw a snake skin barb on a group the other day. Those were sick looking

j03yYunG Aquariums - 8 years ago

yeah I had a few more, but they died a while back. There's some really cool barbs out there.

MASS Aquariums - 8 years ago

Lol. I thought they were barbs but never seen that color before

j03yYunG Aquariums - 8 years ago

+MASS Aquariums The Green Tiger Barbs?

Ocean Truth - 8 years ago

Love seeing updates on this big boy tank. Your discus are really beautiful. Like all the different sizes you have, but can't wait to see them all be beastly in the future. Hope all the plants do well. :)

j03yYunG Aquariums - 8 years ago

+Ocean Truth Im hoping they get to a nice decent size.

Daves Rift - 8 years ago

very nice. ive read that growing out discus is difficult. that they require 5 feedings a day with daily water changes. is there a threshold that once they reach a certain size you can cut back on feedings and water changes?

j03yYunG Aquariums - 8 years ago

+Dave Bandish Actually maintenance isnt too bad. As for cost, it really depends on the size you buy them at. 3-4" is around ~$40-80, 4-5" ~$80-120 and 5"+ ~$120+ (all depends on the species). So getting a few 3" ones isn't to terrible in pricing.

Daves Rift - 8 years ago

i see. ive considered keeping them in the past, but I wasn't up for that degree of maintenance trying to grow them out. and to buy quality discus like yours would be outlandishly expensive. ive seen them for 150-200 a piece!

j03yYunG Aquariums - 8 years ago

+Dave Bandish Hey Dave, let me correct some myths. It really comes down to what you want the Discus to look like. If you want a monster 6-8" / high quality / show Discus, then you'll need to feed them a lot which means more water changes. If you're okay with a 5-6" size, then cutting back on the feeding which means less water change is okay. This goes with any fish really. If you look at all the show quality Discus, its bare bottom, lots of feeding and water changes to get the water clean. As for me, I'm okay with a 5-6 incher. I feed them 2-3 times a day with a weekly 50% water change.

Macanan1 - 8 years ago

Great job bro love the Discus

j03yYunG Aquariums - 8 years ago

+Macanan1 Thanks!

J B - 8 years ago

agreed on the diamonds. The red one you were speaking g of that has the white trim in its fin. I was not able to pick up the blue in the fins BUT the face has a pearl to it that is insane.

j03yYunG Aquariums - 8 years ago

+Jef B (808fishkeeper) Yeah the super rose red discus it's blue at certain angles. Example picture - http://s1290.photobucket.com/user/zachrabbit15/media/discus/discusfry006_zps42c80b7a.jpg.html

Dave Q. - 8 years ago

The two blue diamonds are super nice. Can't wait to see when the plants become a thick forest.
