As you should know Discus are "darting fish" when chasing

Prefer Discus over Angel
please more Frank :D
Brown diatoms are almost always seen in new tanks which have just completed their cycling process.
on the other hand my axolotl tank is going nuts with it. i scrubbed it just last week and i have to do it again already.
i really enjoy watching your videos Joey .. have fun over in the UK
Thanks for sharing!!!
Secondly, I like the algae "background" and let mine grow out as well. I think pristine, overly clear tanks don't do as well as natural tanks.
Finally, BEST OF LUCK at the scaping contest! I cannot wait to see the video and know you'll do just fine.

Oh ps I have the plant that it was on I a bucket with the fishes water
Evil. So evil. I was excited.
Bristlenose catfish are also good plecos that are relatively small. They don’t get too big, probably 4-5 inches at it’s biggest. Maybe you could get an albino one for the Discus aquarium. The yellow fish would contrast well with the red discus and red cardinal tetras.
Great video again Joey! Thank you!!
Favorite tank is the angels.
Safe travels.

Yes on zebras, but don't put them in the angel tank. You need something that won't blend in with the angels so much. Green Phantoms are pretty cool and would look decent in the angel tank.
How do you deal with it?
Have you got a wave maker?
How do you know if you got good flow?
My tank is 40 litre and I have a fluvial u2 filter could you please give me some advice if I need a wave maker or if I could use some kind of filter media to help get rid of my brown algae problem?
One day...one day i shall have angels of my own and they will be as spoiled as fish can be
I'm new to your channel. I hope you and your FISH are doing good.
I have a Question for you,
I've got a tank that's 5ft long by 2ft high by 2 and a half wide. I don't know how many US gallions my tank is.
I'm thinking of turning it into a Cichlid tank.
I want to know how may Flowerhorn Cichlids would I be able to keep in my tank?????.
I would also like to keep RED spotted gold Severems, again how many Severems in my tank?????.
I know that they grow between 12 to 14ins.
Between 5 to 7 Clown Loach and a few nice Pleco's.
I know you must get hundreds of emails a week and I know your a very busy person.
I know from watching your channel your the man to ask.
I would really appreciate it if you could get back to me.
I'm really sorry you lost Buddy, It was a beautiful FISH.
As fishkeppers when we lose a favourite fish we all go into shock ourselves.
I live in the UK.
Keep doing what your doing you are a true master at what you do.
Like the ones you were talking about adding them ?
Have you thought about planting some low growing spieces (like: dwarf sagittaria or echonodorus tenelus) into tetra/discus tanks? I know corydoras could digg them up in some situations, but for now tank lacks some visual balance at bottom. Some fist-size stones may add some wild natural look too. Good luck with the hobby and keep sharing the positive energy with us on YT.
I really love how you set up the Angelfish aquarium... the woods, the plants... and yes, how interesting to see platinum angels within dark set up... and for the bottom dweller for Angelfish aquarium, I might go with corydoras Paleatus?
Algae... actually, as we know... adding bottom feeders with the right number will be a good control for algae.. and we need to feature Frank in this one. <3
We Need Frank. Frank Is Love
The disc tank is my absolute fave of any set up you have. I want to set up my own tank based on the decor and set up of that tank. THANK YOU I cant wait!
Any chance you're coming to aus in the future?
Was wondering if you've ever kept synadontis catfish? I have 3 featherfin that I just love. Also had a valentine syno that I lost unfortunately. Very interesting, active fish.
not yellow.
we need white or light blue
But do you have any plans for having Oscar fish......????
Angelfish are great, although I do like the cardinals
And I like the anubias in that tank. may a few more small pieces ad different heights and positions would look nice.
Same question every time
Where is frank and his new bro
I think it has to do with seeing just what you're going to do next as far as building the habitat for your fish and knowing you're going to do a good job of it.
Congrats,you've captured my interest even though I have no interest.
P.S. He is in a 20 gall with 3 goldfish, one other DG and a betta that is getting along with everyone.
ALGAE= is an informal term for a large, diverse group of photosynthetic organisms which are not necessarily closely related and are thus polyphyletic. Included organisms range from unicellular genera, such as Chlorella and the diatoms, to multicellular forms, such as the giant kelp, a large brown alga which may grow up to 50 meters in length. Most are aquatic and autotrophic and lack many of the distinct cell and tissue types, such as stomata, xylem and phloem, which are found in land plants. The largest and most complex marine algae are called seaweeds, while the most complex freshwater forms are the Charophyte, a division of green algae which includes, for example, Spirogyra and the stoneworts.
The green algae (singular: green alga) are a large, informal grouping of algae consisting of the Chlorophyte and Charophyte algae, which are now placed in separate Divisions. Algae is calcium rich and may protect against osteoporosis in Human. When rats are fed a chemical that causes osteoporosis, feeding Spirulina fusiformis reduced the drug induced bone loss significantly. Due to Spirulina’s high levels of chromium and gamma-linoleic acid, researchers also noted that feeding this algae helped to decrease the fasting serum glucose, HDL, LDL and triglycerides levels in insulin resistance in the animals tested. Underwater pets not so much different. Algae products seem to activate stem cells necessary for healing. This effect is synergistic, meaning that when algae is used alone the effect is not as strong as when it is combined with other naturally occurring antioxidant and phytonutrient substances. But be aware not all algae are safe for your aquarium some forms of algae release toxins that are dangerous and algae grown in contaminated waters can contain environmental toxins such as pesticides and heavy metals. Although the term algae originally referred to aquatic plants, it is now broadly used to include a number of different groups of unrelated organisms. There are seven divisions of organisms that make up the algae. They are grouped according to the types of pigments they use for photosynthesis, the makeup of their cell walls, the types of carbohydrate compounds they store for energy, and the types of flagella (whip like structures) they use for movement. The colors of the algae types are due to their particular mixtures of photosynthetic pigments, which typically include a combination of one or more of the green-colored chlorophylls as their primary pigments.
Golden-brown algae (Chrysophyta). The Cryophyte, or golden-brown algae and diatoms, are named for the yellow pigments they possess. These single-celled algae live both in freshwater and salt water. Their cell walls have no cellulose but are composed mostly of pectin, which is often filled with silica, a compound that makes the walls quite rigid. These algae store energy both as a carbohydrate and as large oil droplets. Diatoms have two glass shells made largely of silica that fit together like a pillbox and are exquisitely marked. Their species number from 40,000 to 100,000. When they die, their shells help to form sediments on the sea the difference between an alga cell and a bacterial cell. The Gale Group Bottom. This fine-grained sediment is often used for filtration in liquid purification systems.
Fire algae (Pyrrophyta). Fire algae, or Pyrrophyta, are single-celled algae and include the dinoflagellates (pronounced dye-no-FLAJ-uh-lets), which have two flagella used for locomotion. Most of these microscopic species live in salt water, with some occurring in freshwater. Some species of dinoflagellates emit bright flashes of light when exposed to air, which at night look like fire on the ocean's surface.
Green algae (Chlorophyta). The green algae, or Chlorophyte, occur in freshwater, although some live in the sea. Most green algae are single-celled and microscopic (able to be seen only under a microscope), forming the slimy green scum found in stagnant ponds. Others are larger and more complex, forming spherical (round) colonies composed of many cells or occurring as straight or branched filaments (long, thin series of cells). Green algae are thought to be in the evolutionary line that gave rise to the first land plants.
Red algae (Rhodophyta). The red algae, or Rhodophyta, are marine plants that live mainly in shallow waters and deep tropical seas. A few also occur in freshwater. Their body forms range from single-celled to Green algae magnified to 50 times its original size the larger species have filaments that are massed together and resemble the leaves and stems of plants. They have no flagella and typically grow attached to a hard surface or on other algae. Some species contain a red pigment; others range in color from green to red, purple, and greenish-black. The cell walls of Coralline red algae become heavily encrusted with minerals and help to cement and stabilize coral reefs.
Brown algae (Phaeophyta). The brown algae, or Phaeophyta, are shiny brown seaweeds that are especially abundant along rocky coasts, although some float in the open ocean. Brown algae are large in size and include the giant kelps, which are located along the Pacific coast and form forests that provide habitat to a wide range of marine life. Some species of brown algae have structures called holdfasts that anchor the algae to submerged rocks. Attached to the holdfasts are stem like stalks that support wide leaf like blades. These blades provide the major surface for nutrient exchange and photosynthesis and are lifted up toward the water's surface by air bladders. Brown algae contain an accessory brown-colored pigment that gives the plants their characteristic dark color. Other well-known brown algae are the common rockweed Fucus and Sargassum, which floats in a thick, tangled mass through the Sargasso Sea—a huge area of slow currents in the mid-Atlantic Ocean that supports a variety of marine organisms.
Yellow-green algae (Xanthophyta). The yellow-green algae, or Xanthophyta, primarily occur in freshwater. They can be either single celled or form colonies, their cell walls are made of cellulose and pectin compounds that sometime contain silica, they can have two or more flagella for locomotion, and they store their energy as carbohydrates. They derive their yellow-green color from the pigments carotenoids and xanthophyll.
PR EAST COAST CICHLIDS-PA®
What you mean
In angelfish tank or discus
All the best at London.
So In my tank I have:
5 tiger barbs
5 botia loaches
2 angel fish
2 boesemani rainbow fish
3 zebra danios
3 long fin zebra danios
1 pleco
2 neon blue dwarf gourami
1 opaline gourami
1 gold gourami
1 pearl gourami
1 blue gourami
All in a 55 gallon
Would it be a bad idea to get a red spotted severum I read they are one of the most peaceful cichlids when they are alone or what would be a good bigger fish to put in my tank as a centerpiece fish?
Thank you for reading this! Have a good day hope to hear your feedback!
They are known to nip at the long fins of other fish...
I had a gold severum(technically the same as red spotted severum)
It was with my blood red parrot(they were the same size)
I added a tiger oscar bout the same size and both of them nearly killed him so
Speaking by personal experience it is not a good idea and plus they grow to 6 inches so it may eat some small fishes but since he is gonna be a new fish maybe he wont be too aggressive
Joey wins and the crowd has gone crazy !!!!!!
Unsubscribes
But it always is
What, you mad I got a juice box and you don't??
Just a question: what kind of wood did you use in the discus tank?
Thanks
L046 - True Zebra
L397 - ???
L199 - Yellow Zebra
L340 - Mega Clown
I like this 2 very much.
Greatings jamie
I can't choose between the two tanks, they are both equally gorgeous to me.
2. I think you should get a zebra Pleiku for your angel tank and a leopard frog play go for your discus tank because angels and discus are usually neck and neck in popularity and the zebra and leopard frog or head to head in a lot of peoples opinion.
3. I love the algae look as well as having a natural buffer for your tank.
Frank: :D
I'm kidding it's not.
Frank: :(...*looks down kicks stone*
Perhaps you should not get Zebras (L46 - H. zebra) since they are endangered and CITES regulated.
Maybe you can get hold of some captive breed specimens, but since this is a demonstration tank I still think it would be a poor choice as they are pretty expensive and doesn't really set a good example IMHO.
In this case L134 - P. Compta would probably be a more suitable choice. You probably already know this species but I felt like mentioning it anyway since it is not nearly as costly, not endangered (at least not yet), and a lot easier to come by.
I hope you will read this comment (even though the chances are a one in a million) and consider the endangerment and availability of the Plecos that you will consider for the racking system.
I have been following you since the old days when you started making videos and it has always been a pleasure to see you do the same kinds of projects that I have been doing myself.
Good luck with the gallery!
