Challenge the Wild. Hey man love the videos, I was wondering if you could help me out. I’ve got a 20 gallon fresh water tank and Im having a hard time with the algae and cloudy ness. Do you have any tips or tricks to help?

The angelfish and discus are brilliant.

JessieTanks Aquatic Cave - 6 years ago

I have noticed if I add angels to my discus tank they can be nippy on the discus. That could be what happens. It shouldn't be a problem. But that will happen when you feed high quality/protein foods

Warhero666 - 6 years ago

i have a only discus tank the 150 gal they realy eat slow when you are feeding them when i give them black worms ore bloodworms alive ore frozen , there gone in 40 seconds 2 blocks in in the morning , noon and evening , there whell fed so thads not the problem . ps the wood is okey to stay in the wild discus live in rivers with a lot of branches ;)

Zachary Thompson - 6 years ago

the swordtail should be called spreadalot

Johny350 - 6 years ago

maybe little advise, discus and angels are prone to internal parasite, i suggest you to do some prevention like metronidazol, i do it with all my new angels and discus, same as people do with they dogs

greennavy2006 - 6 years ago

Sorry to say your Discus Don't look very good......they look beat up and have peppering do to the dark substrate.............Tank looks beautiful......Id get rid of all other fish except.....the neons and bottom dwellers.... angels are very terretorial.....

Matthijs Hellendoorn - 6 years ago

James I really like your tank, I hope you are able to feed the discus well. They grow by the amount of food you feed at this size. If you feed once every other day they won't grow big. Not going to be close to 6 or 7 inches that way. Also did you check if the medicine you used has any effect on the carbon? I've ruined my carbon with medicines in the past. Lucky for me it was not that much. I saw someone suggest a background or painting the back. That is really good both for the visual aspect and for your discus. Less distraction for them. They feel more secure if light can't come from all sides. Try to feed your discus something that doesn't immediately sink like a rock. Easier to eat in the middle of the tank than on the bottom for them. Keep up the videos man, they are of such a good quality.

I think the angel fish is nipping the discus because mine did

Gabriella Stahl - 6 years ago

You shouldn't feed your discus blood worms because they don't have the right nutrition for discus. They can even become addicted to blood worms and refuse other food and they will become unhealthy if this happens.

George Burnett - 6 years ago

Start mixing in a quality beef heart mix with the blood worms (stendker good heart spirulina). Don’t get them hooked on blood worms. They won’t eat a thing else. I hardly feed my discus bloodworms.

Jay Essner - 6 years ago

What kind of substrate is that?

J. purple - 6 years ago

That orange fish is not a swordtail,it's a lyretail molly

Mike - 6 years ago

You're taking a risk when adding another discus. Your current fish have a pecking order and will most likely start allover when adding another discus

noahpikielny - 6 years ago

Glad to see you have surpassed me in difficulty (in freshwater)! Keep improving man! Are you doing anything special to keep these guys - water change of pH wise? I have always been too intimidated by these guys to keep them :(

Dude am glad they are still alive. As time goes by you will get better in this hobby. I have been watching for awhile, I thank God for your progress. Keep the video

Sara Griffith - 6 years ago

I had to remove a piece of driftwood from my tank too. The thin driftwood trend should end because it has done a lot of damage to fish fins, from what i have been seeing. I do like the angelfish in this tank in combination with the discus it adds more character and color to your tank!

Anthony Davila - 6 years ago

You should switch the substrate to sand. Gravel damages the cory's barbels

Tammyrowe1963 Tammy1963 - 6 years ago

hey babe. thaw ur blood worms in a little container of tank water n drop em in a few at a time n i think theyll get to eat more of them before they sink... thats how i feed my dwarf puffers n they eat better.... less competition for the food....

The discuss are looking nice. I like that you worked your way up to those fish and did all your research. Just got a 55 gal and really looking forward to putting it together. Want you to know that your video's are the whole reason I'm starting this new hobby and really excited about it. Keep up the great vids.

Dylan Sosa - 6 years ago

Bob Caylor's Fish Hobby - 6 years ago

Yep. Corys require a lot of protein to remain healthy, in the form of blood worms, black worms, etc. They scavenge meat in the wild. I feed black worms daily to my Amazon Puffers and slect other tanks. I keep them in the fridge, and change their water daily. Tap water is fine. They always last a couple of weeks.. Nice video.

King Chris - 6 years ago

You said you added salt to the tank. Cory cats don't tolerate salt and they can die from it. Please don't add anymore salt if you don't want some dead corys

richardm239 - 6 years ago

salt is not recommended for discus also if your not sure meds are not good unless needed ,one thing that my discus really like is catappa leaves it might be worth trying them

Mia's Keeper - 6 years ago

Please keep the angelfish with his brothers and sisters they all grew up together

Li Am - 6 years ago

Why move the angelfish if he isn't really causing any problems? I'd remove the wood because decor is less important than the fish. Also you said tiger barbs in the video but I did not see any lol. I think those were a different kind of barb.

Challenge the Wild - 6 years ago

Thanks for the advice I am thinking about keeping him in there and for sure removing most of the wood :)

Challenge the Wild - 6 years ago

Hmm for a different tank :)

Leon Drolet - 6 years ago

Paint the back of the aquarium? I paint mine the same colors of the walls behind them, that way the painted backs not only hide the tubes/filter/cords but it gives the illusion that those cords and tubes are not even there because it looks like the tanks are flush to the wall.

Challenge the Wild - 6 years ago

Wow that’s a cool idea!!
