Discus Collecting, Attempt to hunt up some Discus around a fallen tree in the Amazon

Dustin's Fish Tanks

Catching wild discus fish in the Amazon is something few people get to experience - and definitely one I won't forget. I literally woke up from a nap and saw the nets out going for Discus Fish. Pretty fun to see this discus collecting going down.

I started this video from up on the boat. It was mega hot this day and i was having some trouble cooling off. Probably didn't help the fact that I had a few beers at lunch. This spot looked perfect for discus. They actually aren't native to this part of the river however but one of the dudes on the trip really wanted some so we tried. The truth is that the are around many parts of the river as there was a discus farm that flooded many years back. Presto, discus. We didn't get any the whole trip, which didn't bother me as I don't keep them, though I would have liked to have pulled some up just to see them. At this spot there were the most Peacock bass, you don't see any in this netting, but the next few they were jumping over the net as it was pulled in. The Red Hooks were super baller as they had this black strip on them. Sadly they get too big and eat plants so I didn't bring any back. I'll show you all my fish tomorrow, though it is my daughters 3rd Bday, so that comes first!

Catching wild caught fish when we have the option to buy captive bred fish gives the fish keeping hobby a bad rep. Like if you agree.

Michael - 6 years ago

Not if catching certain wild caught fish keeps people in an area making money so that they preserve the habitats of those fish instead of destroying them for agribusinesses destroying our planet...

I dont like keeping wild caught fish

i personally dont believe in catching fish from the wild and putting them in aquariums. i dont know why i just feel guilty knowing they know what it's like being free but they cant be. i had a male betta in my community tank but as soon as i added some gouramis he started being aggressive and i had to take him out and put him in a smaller tank and i just feel awful about it.

Ramsy Hai - 7 years ago

FeatherBelly this ppl dont care about the fishs all they wan is profit

MoPro Uploads - 7 years ago

Deku mUTT I agree!

FeatherBelly - 7 years ago

+SavageSalad and then they fuck up the eco system lol

SavageSalad - 7 years ago

I let oscars go in ponds all the time, fuck it

DAAC86 - 7 years ago

+Deku mUTT well its bad to mix male betta with gouramis and other fish for that matter they go best alone in smaller tanks and no that is not bad for them they dont stress out that much in small tanks.

why tyrone - 8 years ago

+Deku mUTT Most of the fish have their own territories anyways, they don't just roam the entire water for days. I personally think that if they have a large enough aquarium, they can just call it their own territory.

FeatherBelly - 8 years ago

+BuFFoTheArtClown at least you get the point.
and you never know. theres some fucked up people out there, ha.

BuFFoTheArtClown - 8 years ago

+Deku mUTT Your analogy is all kinds of incorrect. Cars don't actively try to hit you, for one, lol.

Jolly Ranchu - 8 years ago

+Deku mUTT also wild fish aren't use to captivity.

FeatherBelly - 8 years ago

+rhys young well being eaten or not is a part of living in the wild.
i'd prefer not to be stuck in a closet my whole life and i sure wouldnt be thinking "well, this is better than the off chance of being hit by a car."

rhys young - 8 years ago

It's better than them being eaten by predators

Johanan Micaiah - 10 years ago

Why would u want to catch wild discus when u can just buy them?

Monica R - 7 years ago

+Thomas An I guess that makes sense bc you literally know where it came from.. But I'd prefer to get to know local breeders (which I dont) but one can dream

Thomas An - 7 years ago

there's more satisfaction of catching your own fish compared to buying one from the local store.

Monica R - 7 years ago

I wonder what's so rewarding about it, I'm not trolling I honestly don't get it

Tim G - 7 years ago

The ones in pet shops are not naturally bread they are a specially bread fish so the colours show up more it's the same with Carp. Gold fish are a breed of carp but they are bread specially so they have a lot of colour.

Mr Robsterr - 8 years ago

+Johanan Micaiah this are more pure breeds, the fish in petshops n shit are watered down. often deformed

The_flying_Kaz - 9 years ago

+Johanan Micaiah its fun to visit foreign places and if somebody asks you where you got that discus from you can be like I caught it bitch... Awkward silence...

Thomas An - 9 years ago

true that

hobbo joe - 9 years ago

Well how did people first get pet discus and it is rewarding knowing you catches this fish

Aquarium Fanatic - 10 years ago

exefile - 10 years ago

@ iwusajda is not the clarity of the water but the chemical composition like pH, hardness etc.

iwusajda - 10 years ago

I want to know too. Why is it that fishes live in such less than crystal clear waters in their natural habitat but requires such clean water to thrive in captivity?

Mr Hyde - 7 years ago

don't mean it ain't clean. amazon water is clean even with the tannins
. we cannot compare a small aquarium to nature? we're thousands of litres of clean water flows every minute

Boywithafishtank - 9 years ago

+dbzkid161 And no, its not always "perfect" naturally, water parameters changes drastically in some places from time to time, and thats all natural. But fish can adapt to it, and those fish would be in their perfect environment, not the other way around.

Drew Thor - 10 years ago

Because the water quality in the wild is always perfect unless something bad is introduced into the water and even then it'd would have to be an enormous amount of it. The home aquarium water will always have to be controlled to be "near" pristine parameters.

Internet tough guys..... ruining Dustins' vid. Shame on you!

Dick Daley - 11 years ago

Looking at all the workers it takes to collect fish from the wild how can they make any money selling the fish for export.. ps - your videos are fascinating....don't like all the cussing, tho, probably because I'm 77 and wasn't as much swearing then growing up as now

Jack Man - 11 years ago

I can swear all the fuck I want to and carry on as much as i want. And obviously you don't what trolling is, your comment whether or not u meant it, flamed up arguments and got people pissed. That right there is the definition of trolling. Stop acting so innocent, don't make stupid comments if you don't want people getting mad.

Shazvana - 11 years ago

Please stop swearing and carrying on at me, I can express my thoughts as can you but there is no need to start with the foul language, especially when kids watch this channel for the great work Dustin does with fish etc. I am no troll, I asked a simple question, that's it. Enough said I reckon, have a good weekend.

Jack Man - 11 years ago

If you knew it was for a good reason then why the fuck were you trolling? And obviously you are an overboard andimal avtivist if you think simply throwing a fish in a bucket harms it in any way. What do people do when they catch a fish? THROW it back in the water, duh.

Shazvana - 11 years ago

Correction....I meant to say.... I hope that catching these fish was for a good reason. Knowing Dustin from watching his videos, I can only assume it was for a fair reason. I am not one of these overboard animal cruelty activists or anything, I was simply making an observation and expressing my thoughts as we are all entitled to do and no one deserves abuse or name calling for expressing their views no matter how different they are to your own.

Shazvana - 11 years ago

Excuse me, I not deserve to be called names just because I voice my thoughts as you have voiced yours, except yours are not nice. That's the one big problem with this place, there are too many people who think their own opinion is right and feel the need to abuse others for having a different thought pattern. If none of these fish were harmed then that's great, I simply asked a question & made an observation & this does not deserve name calling. I accidently wrongly worded my last sentence.

Jack Man - 11 years ago

Everyone please give this idiot a thumbs down, these fish are not being harmed in any way.

Marconis4 - 11 years ago

Also, great video. Going seining is incredibly fun; you never know what is going to come up in the net!

Marconis4 - 11 years ago

Here we go again. I'm an aspiring biologist and have worked with biologists, and just this Wednesday we went seining for my ecology class to examine species diversity. My professor, who is an ecologist specializing in aquatics/ichthyology, handles fish in the same manner. They know what they are doing. Relax.

gusfish1 - 11 years ago

I will go to the amazon one day :)

Shazvana - 11 years ago

Geez, calm down, I was just asking and observing and yes, I do watch this channel a lot and yes, I know that Dustin was filming it, not intentionally killing fish. And again, yes I know fish die and yes, I agree about the water quality. Nice talking with you:) Have a great one.

Allister2016 - 11 years ago

sorry i dont like homos but thats your life style not mine...so have a nice day

Shazvana - 11 years ago

Are these fish being caught to be used as bait or to keep as pets in a tank? If they are going to be pets, throwing them around like that surely wouldn't be doing them any good. I saw a glimpse of one in the bucket that looked like it was floating. I just hope that catching these fish was for no good reason that's all.
