Beautiful Discus

How come your discus don't eat your tetras or whatever the small fish are?

popjoe65 - 8 years ago

What plants are inside?

Gelber Schwamm - 9 years ago

55 gallon are way to small

Lahiru - 9 years ago

What substrate you have in the tank? Do you use a co2 system? I'm in the beginning stage of setting up a 55 gallon and would like any advice you can give.

Hung Nguyen - 9 years ago

Although I love a music video to show off a beautiful tank. I would like a verbal walk around the tank. Maybe a music intro and then verbal about what is inside the tank.

FishKeeper13 - 9 years ago

I don't own this tank anymore. I will upload a new video soon with my new setup. I switched to smaller tanks. Thanks for the advise, I will explain more for my next video's

Tank to small PH 7.0 way to hard... NOT GOOD

James Tetreault - 7 years ago

NOT GOOD? Looks good to me?

Seth Gray - 9 years ago

+FishKeeper13 whatsoever so bad about 7 ph mine can live in ph a lot higher than that

FishKeeper13 - 9 years ago

Discus have been accommodate to this kind of PH since they born. Also I was performing daily water changes, about 25%.

thank you for choosing good music for your video. Everyone else seems to choose clown music and its a joke.

FishKeeper13 - 9 years ago

Thanks! I wanted it relaxing

very nice tank

Pavol Kulanda - 10 years ago

nice looking tank, plants and fish look very healthy. I would not call it a low-tech tank if you are adding CO2 and ferts. Your lights look also quite high.

wordonawing - 10 years ago

Stunning and fish are very healthy looking...

Beautiful tank how about an update we would all love to know more filters substrate lighting ect. We know it's not an ancient Chinese secret.

karl gendron - 11 years ago

Actually at that time I was doing a lot of water changes, as result crystal clear water.

Carl Busby - 11 years ago

Can u do a maintenance video for this tank showing how u keep such clear water?

Kacey Postill - 11 years ago

STUNNING : )

Phu Ho - 11 years ago

Is that sand only?

raww raw - 11 years ago

What bulbs where you using?

FishKeeper13 - 11 years ago

Actually I don't have this setup anymore, I changed for a bigger tank 85 gallons Osaka. I use the same specs but this time I went with Tetras and barbs. I will post updates soon =).

I like this setup. Is it still running? Any updated images or videos?

s0anxi0us117 - 11 years ago

awesome vid... my discus are still young, but once they get bigger.. i cant wait to set up something like this

FishKeeper13 - 12 years ago

Wont go over 6 discus, normally we always end up by adding more fishes like tetras etc XD

FishKeeper13 - 12 years ago

Depending on this size of your discus, but once they reach a bigger size you will need to do a lot of water changes or they might get stunned. Honestly 4 discus for a 55 gallons is fair enough. with few tetras

JD Christman - 12 years ago

i have a few questions to ask you, is this a good size for about 5-6 discus? I heard alot of people say that 55 gal is too crowded but i saw this video and it persuaded me otherwise. also, is this a good habitat for discus and what do you feed them?

Dave Pitt - 12 years ago

10 gals per discus is the rule of thumb

captainhelmet69 - 12 years ago

great set up, I love discus and have 2 tanks, check out my channel :)

MP112791 - 12 years ago

nice tank, makes me want to set up my 55 for my discus now lol but sigh..still cycling it

FishKeeper13 - 13 years ago

@lincia123 Using Co2 will ask a good balance of nutrients, light etc. as I like to keep water quality free of chemicals. I only add some Flourish weekly or so
