Is it beef/chicken/goat "heart" or "liver"?? I've heard that liver is the easiest to digest. By the way, where are you from in India?

The Indian Fishkeeper - 6 years ago

+Sukhdev Adak beef heart is best. Then goat and chicken. Liver might be easier to digest but heart has more protein content. I m from Mumbai.

The only advice I would not follow is putting a Pleco with the discus. Pleco's grows fast and cause a massive bioload which quickly decreases water quality. Pleco when big also can get aggressive and I have seen some Pleco attach themselves to Discus causing injuries to the Discus skin. In place of Plecos I prefer Cory catfish which stays small, will eat anything that falls to the bottom of the tank that Discus have missed, and Cory's are very peaceful requiring the same water parameters as Discus. Overall, this is a good Video

I disagree and there are only a handful of cories that will live in the high temps that discus require. Sterbia being one of them, as for plecos there are several varieties that grow no more then 6". one species the L46 will even live in the same temp as discus with no issues and only grow to 4". but as of right now my 7 bristol nose plecos and 10 Discus are doing fine in a 175 with a FX6. as long as water is changed when it needed then the discus will be fine. the reason for water changes discus are from acidic water and there for have a lower bacterial count in the water preventing them from getting external bacteria infection. if water quality is a huge thing for that person then a bare bottom species only tank.

Friend can u help me for how to make salt water for marine tank. . plz

The Indian Fishkeeper - 7 years ago

Marine salt is available in local fish stores. It is different from the salt thatwe eat or rock salt, epson salt. Process is usualy mentioned in the salt packet that you are using. so i will recommend follow that. Generally it is mixing salt and RO water in a bucket. wait 24 hrs and then use hydrometer to measure the salt level. add salt or more water to adjust!!!

luckily ur tank looks like a good 40-60 gallons....
u can keep about 4 to 5 discus comfortably...
i wouldnt go more than 6 ....for the fishes health sake...

APM Gaming - 7 years ago

all basic info bro.....
the tank size does not matter ..
like u said 3 feet length and 1.5feet height .....
the capacity of water that the tank can hold is important (units in gallons US or UK...or liters.)
its minimum 10gallons per discus...
that is minimum 40 liters per discus fish ....
not being rude ..but get ur facts straight before posting any video....shouldnt be misleading people

The Indian Fishkeeper - 7 years ago

first of all thank you for watching and commenting your views. Yes this is all basic info as my intention was to educate beginners(explicitly stated in the title). A tank with 3 feet length and 1.5feet height & width usually equals to 50 US gallons. And as discus is a vertically flat shaped fish, tank height plays an important role. therefore, minimum 1.5 feet tank is recommended. I am pretty sure about the info in the video as it is given based out my experience and what i have learnt from fellow fishkeepers. Definitely not misleading. Again thanks for watching and commenting.
