Astounding 220G Pirate Shipwreck Discus Aquarium 44 10

Discus 15 years ago 19,213 views

220G aquarium, 8 discus including: 1 turquoise, 1 snakeskin turquoise, 3 pigeon blood and 3 super rose red juveniles (Which look brown right now). 300G wet/dry trickle filter and a 3 piece (Two pieces of which are in the tank), 7 foot long Spanish Galleon Pirate Shipwreck which besides my beautiful discus, is the main attraction of this video. I have a thick bed of gravel which I vacuum weekly on a 125G/50% water change and 60G/25% daily water changes. My fish hobby is a lot of hard work, but I love them. This is my second attempt at raising discus; my first being a complete failure due to the fact that I didn't realize the time and effort associated in keeping this magnificent species. I lost well over 9 discus and about $700 dollars the first time, so I'm taking a new hard working approach, and I believe the hard work is showing! I might seem like a dork to a bunch of you, but this is a passion/hobby of mine. I also RC to the max; but thats a whole other story. My discus live on Chicago tap water with my only water additives being aquarium salt and Prime ammonia killer. I've said enough, hope you enjoy my video and leave tasteful comments; above all............. Don't hate, APPRECIATE!!!!!!!!!

I know this is an old post. However, do you still have that ship for sale? Thought it was worth asking about. If not where did you get it, the name of it. I know it is discontinued but hoping to find a used one?

Is that ship intended for the tank or did you just pop a normal; model in because the discolouration of the ship is pretty true to a sunken ship.Im building a 32cm galleon at the moment and plan to just sit it in a tank and bash out some massive damage holes in the hule for the fish to hide in.

jjgentle1821 - 14 years ago

your not a dork at all man,i know what is like caring for discus,do you use ro/di for your discus?what PH are you keeping them.i keep mine at 6.5ph.

Hevic - 14 years ago

Poor tetras!

Sa Ré Ga Ma - 14 years ago

Real unique! nice work homie. I'm just starting on a 75 gl with 5 discus n like 30 cardinal tetras. Still not happy with how the tank looks especially cuz I'm trying to keep it bare bottom. Gotta figure something out. Keep it up!

jjgentle1821 - 14 years ago

nice,how much did you spend all together?how do you clean the gravel?are they pairs?

col watson - 14 years ago

the ship is a bit too big for that tank

giovannimartinezm5 - 14 years ago

@TheFishman77 Nice, i have a crested gecko, naturally it's supposed to be climming animal, but i accedently selected a more with instead of high terrarium, but i put alot of fake plants and logs, so hes quite comfortable, happy new year :D

giovannimartinezm5 - 15 years ago

5 stars, truly awsome, I'm more of a reptile person, fisheys take to much effort for me, lizards are more hands on, fishes are for display :P

t3hCube - 15 years ago

Well, it;s not a plant oriented tank, so I guess it's cool. But I feel as if it makes the tank look congested, like you just shoved it in. But that's my opinion. It's your tank, not mine.

t3hCube - 15 years ago

The ship takes away from the tank.

Love your ship! Is it wooden or plastic? Pity you lost 9 discus for the first time... Bautiful fish!
