Hey your plants are good looking ...very strong and healty could you say me the name of the very big plant on the left in your tank ? And do you use some fertilizer? Very nice tank with a cool comunty.

Emanuel Nunes - 13 years ago

Nice that's a great looking discus, really nice tank... They look very happy. Well done!

leo t - 13 years ago

EllisD - 13 years ago

@robertrobert905 i have five but plain to get more soon

EllisD - 13 years ago

i just got a feeding cone for my discus and they fight over it

Kent Nguyen - 13 years ago

Nice Plant aquarium. However, the discus are in poor health. They look sick and stunted. Discus are not meant to be kept in a planted aquarium. Rarely do you see any healthy discus in one.

@NYYROCK Hey I love fish and nice combo! I recomend you add a pleco in the mix. He will keep your glass clean. Because Neon/Cardnil tertra are schooling get about 10-15 of them. Get 5-7 mollys or platys or swordtails and buy about 3 dwarf gourami.

forms are not so perfect but it is very beautiful aquarium Do you do fertilization and CO2 how to properly hold PH and whats name bg music :P

you must be chinese nice song. really nice tank you got

Brandon Wright - 13 years ago

I have some questions Does sand or gravel work better for plants? Do you need plant fertilizer? Do you use a co2 generator ,what kind, and how do you diffuse it?

FlameMirage - 13 years ago

They all Pair or they have buddy groups. If theres a loner, then that fish gone!

mtsn - 13 years ago

@FlameMirage not really. What if you have an even number but all male/female?

Davi Fernandes - 14 years ago

Levi For Waifu - 14 years ago

what kid of plants are those?

TheHerzberg94 - 14 years ago

a dream :D

PerezRiosguitar - 14 years ago

awesome tank man, I'd like to have a similar one someday : ) , but yeah I noticed that Cory catfish you have is going from side to side on the front of the tank, I have a 29 gal and one Albino Cory(thinking about adding more), and it regularly does the same thing, do you have any idea why they do this??

rorioshi - 14 years ago

muy buen diseño. me gusta como combinaste las hojas grandes con las finitas por zona

FlameMirage - 14 years ago

@robertrobert905 The reason is because they prefer being in pairs, otherwise there is one which is odd, and it will become the 'loner"

FlameMirage - 14 years ago

you need to have even numbers of discus.

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 14 years ago

lots of people want discus and plants, it seems to be working for you. What temp do you run that?

jennifer gunderson - 14 years ago

I am going to set one of these tanks up this summer and have just started research. I love your setup. HOw big is the tank. Are you on any forums? Do you use a co2 tank?

DgosFinnest - 14 years ago

Nah thanks 4 the offer though. I hate checking the waters hardness and pH. And making sure its ok. I like africans cuz they are easier to keep. U just set the tank up and forget it. I dont check the pH or nothing like that. Its kinda stressfull, and u have to spend alot of money on chemicals.

DgosFinnest - 14 years ago

@fishkeeper456 Hey mr. Fishkeeper, couldnt help but to notice ur comments here. At first i thought discus fish where kinda gay. But i guess they are pretty neat looking. They kinda look like angel fish!! But are they tough enough to hang with African cichlids.

How big is this tank? Its awesome!

Joel Chong - 15 years ago

As long as the fish are not small enough to be eaten or large enough to attack the discus.Discus are extreamly sensitive.

Enrique Goitia - 15 years ago

nice tank bro...good job

IGenesis - 15 years ago

do they fight?

IGenesis - 15 years ago

live plant?

Toucan38 - 15 years ago

i have some discus and one just recently died from not being able to eat. One of my other discus is attacking them when they close to the worms. Does this trait go away after time or do they always do this?

Joel Lim - 15 years ago

i think u should just get rid of the two guppies/mollies. can't tell what they are.they spoil the nice tank u've made :D btw.have they started breeding?

sloppi1234 - 15 years ago

i got my discuses in 40 gallon tank i have 2 discuses there ,but is it okay if i add 2 discuses more and thats all??? REPLY

Gutfest89 - 15 years ago

Real nice set up. I could just sit and watch something like that all day. Especially the discus. Good stuff...

Phillip Mulligan - 15 years ago

I would not recommend a small clutch of discus living in a tank smaller then 70 gallons. Water quality will be tricky and these fish demand water on the soft side.

xxohmycaptainxx - 15 years ago

Those red ones in the beggining were blood discus right?

Guido van 't Erve - 15 years ago

I love the tank How deep is it. It looks pretty deep but I think that that's your background lol. Nice setup you've got anymore videos?

SeaCruncher77 - 15 years ago

ya how the hell r u gonna clean it?

clickity333 - 15 years ago

that is awesome i wish i had live plants but i cant since i have silver dollars but i love my silver dollars so i gave up plants for them check out my aquarium its called 45 gallon freshwater community aquarium the thumbnail is a pic of the tank with a pink flower in the bottom left hand corner of the tank

bangtizzy - 15 years ago

Whatever it is, yea that fish throws off calm theme of the tank

bangtizzy - 15 years ago

Beautiful tank. Except the loach, that things retarded swimming pattern kind of ruins the calming realisim you got going on.

SaltwaterAquariums - 15 years ago

Amazing!

Chuck Petrosky - 15 years ago

I was told that if the discus had the dark stripes on them they were under stress. When they are not stressed the bars almost dissapear. What is the temp of your tank?

Chuck Petrosky - 15 years ago

co2 durring the day...air at night

HiDeguild - 16 years ago

Exquisite tank! Those discus look very healthy and happy! May I ask how many gallons that tank is and if it's acrylic or glass?

:) Sphinx, sphinx. I'm not going to boder my self by doing this - there's nothing that I have to prove to somebody. Just said my opinion. Other thing, I saw a film of future, and now I could say yes, discus are good and well grown (didn't notised second viedo at first)

Domantas Dominicus - 16 years ago

I already did:) And I dont need to show (It would took quiet long, to show all the photos of my planted aquariums with discus) because it is obvious that their too small and so on(too much to say).

Domantas Dominicus - 16 years ago

Discus - is fish which is interesting to keep, grow and watch to. But about this viedo... discus are too little, with bad shape and size. No colour and I never say that their happy. Even plants could look much better. Good luck in trying to improve something.

Jovy Desepeda - 16 years ago

ohh shiet my bad! lol haha!i wish mine was like this! its just starting to work its way up! i should post my vid on here!

Jovy Desepeda - 16 years ago

not alot??? are you out of your mind!! thats crazy!

Michael Kain - 16 years ago

Nice tank and discus. Do you add co2 to the water? I recently added co2 to my tank but i'm not sure if its ok to turn of the air pump. Thanks for the help
