Jeffrey Swanigan - 12 years ago

Where do you find big rocks like that?

Utubeanimalguy - 12 years ago

6 all the same!!! Keep it legit. Some guy once said, "This isnt Noah's Ark!" i think his name was Dustin or something... And yes i know Noah's ark had 2 of everything.

PaNdeM0niuM - 12 years ago

different discus strains can breed with each other. So you can mix all different species together. But visually, it will look better if they are all the same species imo.

Mikey - 12 years ago

6 of different species.

noah burridge - 12 years ago

no do 5 red and like 1 yellow

noah burridge - 12 years ago

6 all the same!!

Flick - 12 years ago

Either do 1 discus and 5 of another species or 6 discus. 1 will be fine by itself, with 5 other species. 6 will form a hierarchy. Anything in between with the discus and you run a good chance that an alpha will kill the other via excessive abuse.

Thomas Hammer - 12 years ago

3 red spotted golden, 3 red melon, 3 blue diamond, 3 cloud leopard. i wouldn't get more than 12 with a 72.

resistxthis - 12 years ago

Loving the channel keep it up

maplestar67 - 12 years ago

I have a 30 gal tank with guppies in it but they keep getting stuck and dying in the filter, the filters pretty normal power, is this normal?

Matthew Sharp - 12 years ago

Agreed +1 on Steve starting up his own YouTube Chanel!!!!

mike gordon - 12 years ago

WHAT UP FISH TANK PEOPLE!!!!!

tyrel fourie - 12 years ago

in my opinion go with one strain as it would look more affective and he should maby go for more than 6 i think as they are a schooling fish

xpistalpetex - 12 years ago

6 wilds

tigereyes8961 - 12 years ago

I would go with 2 of each color. But I like the colors.

20. comment for Discus fish: your thoughts on keeping all of one species of Discus in Steve's planted Aquarium

martyb0y1981 - 12 years ago

got to be all the same species

Nathan Keck - 12 years ago

All of one

jhummer7 - 12 years ago

You could pair them up, 1 male and one female of the same type. 3 different types. Alot of color and happy discus. Possible breeding opportunities as well

FishFirst - 12 years ago

I like all 6 of the same, but with different species it looks colorful!

Sassy gaming - 12 years ago

Go with all one species or maybe two , because i part own a 8ft fish tank with only adult discus in it which are over 7inches. The dicus in the tank are all different species but i would much rather all the one species eg allGiant floras or red turqs

ShinyCard255 - 12 years ago

Then you aren't looking enough cuz there is cheaper. I give extra plants when people order from me too on my forum, a lot of people do that, not just Dustin. If you want to know what I am selling, hit me up. No minimum order, shipping starts at $6...

jarog99 - 12 years ago

ay i have a QUESTION HOW large do the rainbows grow and where did u get them from and are their some large danios in the 220\again huge fan

Steven Yu - 12 years ago

All blue diamonds... Yeah...

Timm VII - 12 years ago

all 6 of one species :D blue diamond discus

Noah Smith - 12 years ago

Do pairs of 3 of his favorite discus!

Shakudo - 12 years ago

Steve + own YouTube Channel= win

Shakudo - 12 years ago

1 species, looks better, more natural, killer effect.

TheStingrayV - 12 years ago

In terms of schooling it doesn't matter if they are different colors but i always feel an odd number of one morph looks way better than a random mix of a bunch of patterns and colors

Omar Hameed - 12 years ago

you are the best

therealjonnyk - 12 years ago

I believe all one species will create a more natural appearance and probably let the fish display more natural behavior too. I'd also like to say from an aquascaping point of view odd numbers will look better then even numbers so I would say either 5 or 7 fish would be better, this would apply to rocks/driftwood as well.

Jack Sutter - 12 years ago

all of one

exxcel19 - 12 years ago

definatelly one species espically if some shoal or school their feel more secure that way and less prone to bully.plus it'll look better.!

Neii234 - 12 years ago

one

Sarah Blakey - 12 years ago

One species.

sloppi1234 - 12 years ago

get all 6 of on specie

888888 888888 - 12 years ago

Credit/Debit Card.

Tommy Thai - 12 years ago

may i ask how'd u pay for ordering stuff from aquatic jungles? and real bummer on the duckweed xD i talked some of my lfs into giving me a few free plants on purchase :P and surprisingly it was a petco once

mybackpocket - 12 years ago

Different species!! mix it up.

ThePencilShredder - 12 years ago

Dustin can you make a vid on how much to feed ur fish??

888888 888888 - 12 years ago

Aquatic Jungles is cheaper than most places, it's the minimum order amount where they make their money. Otherwise everyone would be buying from him. On top of that, Dustin usually gives you a few extra plants with your purchase. And local fish store is gonna go extra skimpy on you. I got charged for a cup of damn duckweed before -___-

ShinyCard255 - 12 years ago

aquatic jungles is expensive, go somewhere else to buy plants

wonderboy2402 - 12 years ago

Check out AngelFishPlus. It is where I get all my fish food from and they have quality discus.

DJ Dr Sean - 12 years ago

Amano does same species, but I've seen cool tanks with mixed species of Discus. That tank is going to look sick.

Laurence Ignacio - 12 years ago

I say 1 species too. Def agree will have a cleaner look. Having 6 diff kind will look like colored saucers swimming around.

godricko8o - 12 years ago

looks good

Wayne's Fish World - 12 years ago

i like diversity in a tank, but like it all depends on which types of discus he gets he could do one species tank, but it might look good if he mixes them....it could go either way

9385dee7 - 12 years ago

6 of all the same. they look so much better together

AquaMarine Crayon - 12 years ago

One species, What plant will the tank have Dustin? Or is it gunna be a hard scape, I don't really know discus well at all

mattsaquariums - 12 years ago

I keep discus. And they are my favortie for colors and how they swim. I say he should do like 2-3 differnt species. Looks very nice if you choose the right colors. I think it would look really nice with some blue, red and another color of his choice like a pigeon for orange. that would look really nice

TheJSchup - 12 years ago

In a display tank, all one species is the way to go, no doubt.

Aquascaping the World by BM - 12 years ago

Im thinking 1 species, thats just me...

James Capps - 12 years ago

tell him to get 2 species of 3 different ones like a pair of 2

AquaJtang - 12 years ago

ONE SPECIES

KALZONE850 - 12 years ago

the scape is really coming together dustin. glad you are taking the time to work on it and update us on it :)

Carmador - 12 years ago

all one species, looks cleaner

MrHoney2U - 12 years ago

What are the tall/long plants in that tank.

Emmadril - 12 years ago

driftwood and rocks look so freak in great in there... and my vote is one species! love species tanks.

sam - 12 years ago

all one species and by the way Dustin, Where do you buy your fish ???

AReadythen - 12 years ago

i like this short videos. its nice if you could do a video every day or every other day. short but sweet

Lawrence Belcher II - 12 years ago

All one species.

jeniffer ponce - 12 years ago

WOO!

Bob Nugget - 12 years ago

I think he should ge two of each type

TheRick2325 - 12 years ago

Your loaches are looking good

Reptile Creation - 12 years ago

Tell steve to stick with one species. The tank will just look all around better if they are more uniform... i guess thats just my opinion hahah

d0dg377 - 12 years ago

That is a sweet tank! Great job. Looking forward to more.

check2wice - 12 years ago

better chance of breeding

Cirena Aripez - 12 years ago

6 Discus of all one species. There's no other way. Rocky Mountain Discus, kickass!

check2wice - 12 years ago

all one :D

Cirena Aripez - 12 years ago

I loveee all the driftwood in the 220. Hells yeah.
