Hi Joey
I wonder if you can help is there or can you recommend a submersible aquarium water pump that can extract water for a water change then be able to replace with clean water thereafter in the UK
Thanks Chris

Hi its a most value information you shared for Discuss, i am facing issues with the PH level for my tank that is not decreasing from 7.5; if you could guide me to any of your video or any trick to decrease Ph level . (marking i am using a low level planted tank i.e. no CO2 is installed) if you could guide with ur expertise please.

How do you feel about Astronotus ocellatus, or as they are called more commonly, the "Oscar fish"?
I've lacked to find a good "Oscar 101" video out there, and was hoping you might have one or maybe know of someone who has maybe already made this ;)

All in all, gotta admit i just heard about you over here in Norway (maybe just a coincidence), your content is great! :)

King of DIY I have a question when it comes to culling. (I am used to bettas so i know culling is a think among breaders when trying to raise top fish) I totally understand culling any fish that might be sick or not have a good life. But fish that are healthy, and maybe are not top grade. Surely there isn't anything wrong if the breeder keeps those fish. Keeps them aside in their own tank and never plans to sell them right? I mean, you breed and sell only the top fish but that doesn't mean you have to kill the ones that are still healthy that are not up to par. (I know this video is a year old).

This was a great video full of great info. It has been about two decades since I've been in the hobby and I am amazed at how much things have changed with regard to attitudes toward water quality, how to care for these fish, and breeding in general. I can't wait to get back into it and try my hand at breeding again. I used to have a lot of luck with African Cichlids but shied away from the Amazon species, we just didn't have soft enough or acidic enough water where I lived then and they just never fared well, even when messing with softeners and acids. Thanks for posting this.

Hello joie.....
I am Ryu from japan. I need your advice. I have set 120cm discus tank and painted its bottom and back in black color. My fish are very healthy and eating proper but i still don't see much brighter color yet and some people start telling me that may be its due to the dark color i painted. Is this is the case?
I don't want to undo the paint and stress the fish. What should i do? I should give them some time? By the way they are in this tank just for 2 to 3 weeks now.
I am feeding them discus hamburger, free zed worms and three types of dried food.

this video has helped me alot but I got a couple questions 1. here in the uk the ph level is high about 6.9/ 7.0 but the breeders have raised them all in that water isit ok to still keep them in that water level? 2.i have two small tanks under my main tank one for quarantine and other is my medical tank but wen I'm using them I wash and dry my hands before going into any other tank and make sure no water drips go anywhere is that ok? 3.whats ageing water? 4. you said mix the food up is that daily or mix it up the 3/4 times you feed a day?

Hi Joey,

You have an incredible wealth of knowledge on Discus and was wondering if you could give my some advice.

I have 5 discus 3 of which died randomly over a 3 month period. The remaining two starting having eggs. At this point they were in 430L tank with lots of other fish, plecs, Shark, Clowns, tetra ect.

I wanted these eggs to hatch, so i move the two discus to a 100L tank. The tank was pre-treated with anti fungal and anti-parisite treament, a week later the fish moved. They have been in the new tank now for 3-4 weeks and seemed to be settling in until now.

I have been doing good water changes and have been monitoring water parameters which have all been good. Today they started shedding a slimey white coat.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Sean

If they need lots of water changes how do you get the tank to cycle? Won't the constant water changes make it almost impossible to have enough ammonia to start the cycle? Or if you cycle it with different fish won't it throw off the balance when you start doing huge water changes everyday?

Kevin spacey - 8 years ago
keep the temps lower... 80f is fine for a discus, higher temps only invite bacterial growth
Kevin spacey
Kevin spacey - 8 years ago
You do know that with higher temperatures bacteria and virus's grow like crazy...  Substrate doesnt really hae anything to do with it.  I have a 92g corner bowfront tank, with 70 neon tetras, 4 rainbows, 1 red tailed shark, 6 discus the size of your hand, 3 of them i raised as babies the size of a silver dollar.  Heavily planted, never vacuumed my substrate because of the plants.. not 1 time..   I just do 80% water changes with tap water that has a ph of 7.6, and use prime.. I also keep my temps around 80f no higher..  So to the people who claim bare bottom and super high temps and no plants... and to use RO low ph water... yea ok..  Higher temps is only good for parasites.. Bacteria and virus grow again way faster with high temps..  So if you ever end up with a bacteria infection in any fish you want to lower temps not raise them
Daniel Murtada
Daniel Murtada - 8 years ago

Usually , I trade 40% weekly , my aquarium has average small discus and large , my big problem is the internal bacteria , you do cleaning the substrate with Siphon ?

SOMETHING FISHY! - 8 years ago
how big were your discus? if they were small your better off with no plants, even if they were big you must do big water changes not partial ones.
Daniel Murtada
Daniel Murtada - 8 years ago
Hello , whenever I had the same substrate making partial water changes my discus suffered from bacteria ... I do not know what to do in such cases , I had to take to have no more problems , but I wanted a planted discus with using sand .. .
SOMETHING FISHY!
SOMETHING FISHY! - 8 years ago
Daniel i have two large discus tanks with substrate, i use fine sand in one and quartz gravel in the other, bacteria attacks and other problems happen when you don't do regular water changes.

My Discus has black spots like "dust" across its nose and on the back end of its body by the fin. I notice now that my angel fish also has these black spots on him. They are both healthy an eating. I have no substrate or plants in the tank, just cover for the fish to get cover.
I have fed them garlic guard and did 50% water change every day for a week. Still no change.

+Dank Memovich​ well ..mine is juvenile discus in planted tank l.So i have to feed them 3 times a day.I have no experience keeping discus.The water in the store where i got them are very dirty.The first time i put in my planted tank they keep swimming at bottom and not very active.After 2 days they start swimming middle area and seems happy.After watching this video.Im a bit scared if they will going to grow to their proper size just because i chose to keep in planted tank (wrong choice).The filtration is pretty good and ph 6.5.Stock : 4 juvenile discus 5 nerite snail and 9 cardinal in 100 gallon
Chode
Chode - 8 years ago
+alex bomb oh yeah! They'll love that stuff! Although, I encourage you feed them two times a day two different foods. Flakes are really good for discus. The best way to make them eat any food you want them to, just put a little bit of that food in a small container and pour in some Seachem 'Garlic Guard'. They'll eat anything that has 'Garlic Guard' in it. If Yu can't get the Seachem 'Garlic Guard' liquid, feed them Hikari 'Discus Gold'. Hikari is a great brand. Beef heart is completely unnecessary. Just feed them frozen bloodworms and some other food. They'll be happier then ever :)

jiarealty - 8 years ago
(1) I was told by Discus breeders and experts to keep Discus in a smaller tanks to promote growth (because Discus conserves energy) as long as frequent water change is made Discus will grow big.- In this video you advocate more room
(2) I have a planted tank, but have the plants in pots and raise the pot off the ground on a metal stand (i.e. metal candle holders) to prevent debris from accumulating underneath
(3) Discus will grow in any clean water and does not need to have a lower pH
(4) Discus in nature hides under tree stumps and plants. That is why Discus have compressed flat bodies to navigate between plants and stumps to avoid predators. Giving open space is good to view discus but by nature, Discuss likes dense plants

NO Oscar are to aggressive eaters and will not let the discus eat properly and won't grow and other problems might happen because the Oscar can attack them but they can't fight back and they can die from stress.

With the right filters you could and the right tank set up. Like bare bottom tank with filters that filter at least double the amount of water that would normally be recommended as an minimum.

can you keep red line torpedo fish and Siamese fighter in the same Diccus tank my tank is planted with gravel and it is 5 ft x 2 x ft x 18 inches at the moment i have 3 number red line torpedo thinking of buying more i have not bought the discus yet also i have not bought the Siamese fighter waiting on your advise.
Thanking You Peter
Chode
Chode - 8 years ago
Probably not. Siamese fighters do best on their own. So do the torpedoes. The best combo is 200 litre tank, 6 discus fish, 5 cory catfish or 3 dwarf bristlenose catfish, and 10 rummy nose tetras. Honestly, I prefer cory catfish, but if you like bristlenose catfish, then you should get them.

MetalSlugzMaster
MetalSlugzMaster - 8 years ago
+子強 If you currently have a low maintenance planted tank with rooted plants and substrate (like I do), then prepare for A LOT more maintenance and the occasional infection if discus is added. So yeah, maybe not for you. There are alternatives in your situation - angelfish for example. They breed a lot of colorful varieties these days, and even as full grown adults they won't bother your tetras if you introduce the angels as juveniles. My life can be busy these days; I'm thankful in some ways I don't have a discus tank anymore.

The easiest, most hassle-free planted tank for discus IMO is with little or no substrate and java fern. I set one up in the late nineties. A sumped 75 gallon tank with very large round stones on the bottom, and driftwood running the length of the back of the tank with tons of java fern on it. It looked great and didn't have water quality issues most planted tanks would present for discus.

Sounds like I'm off to a good start for a hobbyist just wanting a pair in a community display tank. Thin sand substrate, stable water chemistry, water changes, high grade protein based food, and plants are not dense. My only no no is pet store shop hopping simply because people have problems stocking their shop. I've used all the shops before though and didn't have any problems with fish adjusting. This is my start up trial so in the future if I buy more discus it'll be more to your listed method.

so your not breeding strains in the discus world but rather varieties.

I'm apart of the rat breeding world(not feeders but actually healthy pets)and we call them varieties cause basically their all the same species but breeding 2 similar rats won't owes yield rats that look like the parents.like lets say you picked 2 black hooded rats.breeding them may not result in all black hooded babies you'd get a mix of pink eyed whites,possible fawns,agoti maybe even blues.you might not even get hooded rats at all and wind up with capped,variegated or some other weird pattern from miss marking.

Yes it was, I kept my discus together with 4 Sturisoma catfish, 4 Sterbai corys and around 12 Cardinal tetras. Most food was live ones, I lived in a tropical country so live food are easy to get.
I have a fellow discus fan that also had his pairs bred in a community tank. But still, I think it's not very common for discus to breed in a community tank. Might be wrong about that though :)
Zante
Zante - 9 years ago
+Andy Suryantoro van Ruzzette Was it a community tank? I'm asking because one of my two pairs successfully bred in a tank with three other discus, bristlenose plecs, corys and tetras.
I was wondering how common that is, since typically discus are bred in isolation in bare tanks.
Andy Suryantoro van Ruzzette
Andy Suryantoro van Ruzzette - 9 years ago

Joey, he said that these fish are kept in a Ph range of 4-5, from a salt water guy my r.o. water stays around 7.8-8.0. My question is how would you even drop your acidity that low in freshwater, or what is your process?
Zante
Zante - 9 years ago
+Noah589 Water with low Kh has very little buffer to keep the Ph stable, that means that very little will produce very large changes. My ro comes out as neutral, but once it's in my discus tank it goes down to 6 even with the addition of minerals, including some of Salifert's marine Kh buffer.

I'll probably never keep discus,  but I found a lot of good information from this video that I can use for all my fish.  Except for his discussion of different  strains, everything he said can be applied to almost every other kind of fish.  Maybe zebra danios and guppies are more resistant to the things he warned against, but they are still affected by them and, to get the best, show quality fish, or just healthy pet fish, you have to pay attention to these factors.  Every aquarist should see this video.  I love your DIY videos, but videos like this, which give information about good fishkeeping habits in general are just as important.  Keep up the good work.
