Solid Gold Aquatics - 7 years ago

Has it really been 3 months since I got my discus?! WOW, time flies! You guys have been requesting a video update about them, and over the weekend I got some new fish to add to their tank, so I figured it was the perfect time for an update. :D

Marian Baciu your pleco was doing that because he was not getting enough food. I recomend alge discs. That solved my problem when my pleco was doing that with my Oscar's

Solid Gold Aquatics you could raise them with angel fish coz that's what I do and my angel fishes accept new foods quickly and my discus seem to follow after watching the angel fish eat

LularoLife - 7 years ago

hi solid gold I have a question! can you keep a gold fish alone? (with things like shrimp) I will be buying a 20 gal in a few months for a veil tale fancy gold fish.

lil peep is daddy - 7 years ago

can u get some neon tretras pls i have some and thare amazing

datinyone - 7 years ago

i prefer rummynose.. they're bigger, better schoolers too imo :)

Amol Jadhav - 7 years ago

hi, your discuss need some small fish to increase their confidance... add 10 - 12 cardinal tetras those will look nice

Courtz courtz - 7 years ago

Solid Gold Aquatics in future is say with discus power feed them brine shrimp and blood worms then try what other food you might want them on it's best to get them to recover from shipment and all the stress of a new environment before then putting them on a diet

Muhammad Najib Musyaffa - 7 years ago

Solid Gold Aquatics pleco is only 1 dollar in indonesia

Will Merry - 7 years ago

Solid Gold Aquatics the black phantom tetras may not be the best fit with the discus. Very few tetras get along with discus and those that do are the smaller elongated bodied tetras. Your black phantoms will out-compete the discus for food. A better fit would have been rummy nose or cardinal/neon tetras.

Ceire Martha - 7 years ago

Solid Gold Aquatics I love your videos, it's nice to see a community that care as much about fish as I do. My white ranchu Ringo absolutely LOVES bloodworms. lately he's been getting these large white spots on his tail that seem the disappear when taken out of the water and then instantly reappear when he goes back under. Do you know what this is and how I can cure it? I've tried white spot treatment and Melafix which worked before but it keeps coming back and the water quality is fine.

rachille bachille - 7 years ago

Solid Gold Aquatics so I had a question, the other day I sadly lost my fish Becky. when i found her in the morning she didn't have any scales up to her gills. I had just checked the water levels the previous night due to her swimming weirdly. everything in the tank was fine. What do u think could be going on? I was wondering if she had some sort of parasite, bacteria, or if the other fish could have eaten them off of her somehow. If there is bacteria or anything in the tank I want to treat as soon as possible but know I treated for the right thing. pls help

Solid Gold Aquatics
About 2 years ago (when I was 11)
I got my first goldfish
I didn't know nothing
About goldfish
It was 2 commits in quarter gallon tank
It was just tap water
Fish tank: made of plastic
No filter
And just flake food they lived for 2 days because I murdered them by feeding the over 30 flakes
Then I got a 5 gallon with 3 commits
I set it up at night
And the next morning we went to pet store and got fish
Then a month later I saw your videos but my parents said it's stupid and fake
I kept begging them for about a year then we went to the store and got a ten gallon I knew it wasn't enough but it was all we could get.
3 month later we bought a 40 gallon
All my fish died and we got knew ones
Then they died again
(Remember I watched all your videos)
And then we got a fantail and a red cap oranda there still small but there growing they are so cute
But we still haven't set up the 40 gallon. It's been there for almost a year
We might set it up this month
Or next month
My dad said the cycling the aquarium thing is just a myth there's already bacteria in the "filter"
But this time we will cycle it

Simon Simon - 7 years ago

You should get a massive framed poster with everyone's name who have donated in your fish room!

You think gold fish are most friendly to the owner gouramie fish are most friendly to the owner every time I past the room the look and follow me on the tank and if I sit next to them they go to the at the corner at the end of the tank were I am

NFexec - 7 years ago

Jennie - I've just stumbled upon your YouTube selections so you may already be doing this or have looked into it ---- Have you considered creating a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization based mostly on educational offerings to the (www) community? You may be able to do this and therefore receive tax-free donations to further your cause. Community educational programming of a modest sort might be necessary, but then that seems like something in which you would excel. So - just curious if that would help you?

Kathlynda Merkle - 7 years ago

Do you think the fish that died was the same as the one that was piping and perhaps he was still hadn't recovered from whatever gill damage you thought he had suffered in his beginning with you?

mynameispez - 7 years ago

I was wondering how your bn is doing in the tank. They usually run like 5 to 10 degrees colder than discus tanks so I've been afraid to move them over to my discus talk. I breed a few long fin bn and I'd love to move one to the other tank

ThunderWorld101 - 7 years ago

Yay

Slythering Slimes - 7 years ago

Daniel Mc Sween - 7 years ago

I hope you read this.

This could be one affected by a drop in alkalinity. Although they come from soft water a little bit of calcium rich rock can inhibit alkalinity drop.

In my past communities dither fish worked well. I used widow tetras.

Daniel Mc Sween - 7 years ago

wow. OK tetras. And stuff. The other one that died was perhaps bullying after you moved the wood rather than the few minutes of murky water

Kpop Addict - 7 years ago

LMAO THEY WERE PLAYING A BALL GAME WITH THE FROZEN BLOODWORMS

Maria Luz - 7 years ago

Lmao shun the third Golden Pigeon. XD

Matt Phillips - 7 years ago

Stick to a mix of frozen mixed food as it generally always gets eaten in less than 3mins also dry food is never eaten with the same enthusiasm and just ends up polluting the water

Dan Spangler - 7 years ago

i noticed you have most the tank covered by the glass canopy, there may not be enough air getting to the water. in other videos people have said that fish can suffocate if only spaces for tubes are cut. you may need more open space for gas transfer. also noticed you keep your UV on all the time. In this filter it will degrade the plasics over time (cheap chinese plastic). Its a great filter. aquatop is re-labeled sun-sun. very cheap at around $80 bucks cant beat it, but the UV WILL destroy the filter. I leave mine on for around 1 hour at a time, just enough to cycle the tank, as needed.

Oshi Fernando - 7 years ago

you should add some goldfish.

Dawna Garcia - 7 years ago

I have the first fish

Hunter Dobson - 7 years ago

Solid Gold Aquatics, I found your channel today on from one of Joey's videos. I love what you do and I binge watched your some of your videos since. I have one question for you. I'm in high school rn so this won't happen anytime soon, I'd like to start exploring the world of goldfish care and breeding at some point, and I was wondering if when my skills are up and ready (whenever that may be) would you ever think of selling some of your fish or if you could provide some advice that would be great. Best wishes and good luck with your discussion tank.

Hunter Dobson - 7 years ago

Logan Small - 7 years ago

I love the goldfish plush on the shelf behind you! Where did you get it?!

j03yYunG Aquariums - 7 years ago

You should train the Discus to take flakes. It'll make feeding a lot easier. I have a how to video if you need any tips/advice on it.

Ahmed Nesser - 7 years ago

Discus are really social fish, so the more you have in one aquarium, the better they thrive. You should really get more than those 3..

Haleigh Hughes-Wallace - 7 years ago

Do you have a video on what fish can house with goldfish?

Amy's TropicalTankLife - 7 years ago

I noticed with my discus, that having constant variety keeps them interested with food. I feed them pellets first, and a couple hours later I give them frozen treats (blood worms or beefheart). Took them a while to get use to it but they got use to it and now they gobble up discus biogold mixed with tetra granuals, and then frozens after! They are little piggies for sure :)

Shawn conde - 7 years ago

hey love i dont think you have enough female black phantoms i honestly only saw one in this vid maybe some are younger? (females have red fins)

Croatian king of aquarium - 7 years ago

Jenny can you update us about your sick goldfish.

housearea - 7 years ago

Asalia wood is better for them, i added one root in every aquarium with discuses in the shop where I was working. Ph was super stable at 6,7 and they never refuse the food. Try with Hemigrammus rhodostomus and some L plecos for the discus aquarium

Masha Grande - 7 years ago

I lovee your hair!

Shaden0040 - 7 years ago

Suggestions: heavily plant your tank, and paint the back and sides black. Both of these will give comfort and a sense of security.

Shaden0040 - 7 years ago

So paint it light grey or off white. The reason for painting is to cut down visibility outside the tank so they do not get startled as often.

Amy's TropicalTankLife - 7 years ago

the only issue with that is with dark backgrounds, discus will sometimes develop peppering to blend in. Especially on lighter colored pigeons like she has.

SlimeMadness - 7 years ago

Hello I have been watching your videos for quite a long time and I have got a butterfly telescope goldfish and sometimes in the tank he floats on his side and upside down I'm wondering if you can give me some advice on how to help him and I would really like if you can answer back as soon as possible thanks

Alex Incognito - 7 years ago

HI JENNIE! I'd really love to keep a black moor (with an oranda), but many people told me that they could contract many illnesses such as blidness and loss of smell, but i can't find anything on the internet. Can you explain me how to keep this fish? Or could you make a video about that? Love you and your page

Lance Burton - 7 years ago

i own 2 lonfin bristle nose plecos and i love them they grow so fast !! they look amazing aswell!

Jen DragonLover - 7 years ago

Hey, You mentioned problems with youtube... a lot of the other people I watch chose to switch over to twitch.tv... Maybe with the youtube following you have here, you could start anew there? I thought this information would help you in your situation, but what ever you do, I wish you and your beautiful collection of fish good luck.

Jen DragonLover - 7 years ago

I know it looks like it's just for gamers... but I doubt there are restrictions on other content, plus it isn't just for streaming live. videos can be uploaded to watch anytime, especially since a lot of people miss live streams when they are live.

you should giveaway fish tank,s that you do not use

Betta Beauties - 7 years ago

The effort you put into trying to get them to eat different foods reminds me of feeding my toddler... she would eat only fruits and veggies ALL day if she let me. Eat some protein kid! ;)

Hadyn Phillippi - 7 years ago

You should do an update on your black moors!! I have two and one keeps swimming to the top. He would slowly flip over but fix himself upright. It seemed like swim bladder disease so I held off the food for 48 hours and gave two peas to them for three days. He seemed better when I didn't feed him and after I started to feed fish flakes (I soaked them in water before feeding for them to sink), he seemed to be getting worse. He's always had a tiny white slime blotch on one of his fins and treated him for excess slime. I'm not sure what to do, any help?

PhanRegSop - 7 years ago

The problem you have is there's no enough of them. You need at least 5 of them for them to feel safe and happy. They are community fish. I bought more and their moods improved immediately.

Richie Locs she DID feed them frozen food. She wants to wean them. The food doesn't matter as much as long as it's healthy for them and they'll take it.

It would help ALOT of you had good surface agitation in the tank for oxygen exchange.

And Joey also told you day one, that having the huge driftwood makes Discus feel obligated to hide behind it.

Jay Workman - 7 years ago

I know how you feel Jenny... the fish in one of my 20 longs hate me and are always hiding. The fish in the other 20 long only tolerate me when I have food. I'm a nice person. Why won't you love me fish!?

If you want you're discus to start eating the pellet food don't feed them for a couple days that way they'll be hungry and be curious to try the pellet food, also buy some food from the breeder.

Also i have a school of 7 diamond tetras and the males with sometimes swin up to the females flare up the fins (they have a redish-purple hue to the fins so it looks awesome!) and they vibrate! Hope you have some more updates with this tank soon!

Dæmon Græyson - 7 years ago

One critique for this educational and fabulous video as always. There is no real hierarchy in Totem Poles, the bottom Totem is actually the most important to the overall story or message. But either way they're all important really, not sure where the saying came from but it's false. We've all been living on the same continent and so many people have this common misconception of Totem Poles.

Alfonso Hernández Bustos - 7 years ago

Hey! I love your vids! Tip: you shouldn't put the frozen food directly into the tank. You should put the cube of frozen food into a net, and just wait until it defrosts and then wash it. If you take a look at the water that comes out of the frozen food you'll realise how dirty it is ;)

PS: Love from Spain!

I love getting fish tips . Thanks again for your awesome fish videos .

Streamerbean - 7 years ago

Sorry you had to find out the hard way regarding the discus. I used to keep them in 70's and 80's. They require clean water - I used to have to do weekly water changes. Old fashioned decor which was a brick for them to hide behind and not much else. Typical water temp was 84-86 F. Used to feed tubifex black worms, brine shrimp, and chopped beef heart. Today there are better formulations i's sure. Yes, these are incredibly skittish fish, but they get a little more friendlier over time

What is your opinion on hand breeding Jenny

Ashley K - 7 years ago

Nothing wins over discus like bloodworms in my experience! Whenever I had a new shipment, they'd usually eat right out of my hand after a few bloodworm treats. :) I'm glad they're doing well; I've always found discus challenging but absolutely rewarding.

So happy that your fundraiser is doing well. I wish I could give more. You are such a passionate fish keeper. I feel like our genuine love for your fish is a rarity for the fish keeping hobby on Youtube. If I could, I would see to it that your goal is met, but sadly I'm not in that position. So happy that many other people have seen your passion and have chipped in as well!

zzospreyzz55 - 7 years ago

Fish like discus need dither fish to help them feel safe and confident. Discus are delicate and smaller/medium sized fish. In the wild they become food for other fish and animals. Get yourself a large school of tetras (rummy nose, cardinals, or being are popular with discuss) or even corydoras. The fish will see the activity level of the smaller fish and assume its safe to be out and unhidden. The school can also be turned into target fish to have the discus focus any again to them. The large school will confuse the discuss from targeting an individual fish and keep everyone safe and happy.

Nyla Oubre - 7 years ago

Jessica Landry - 7 years ago

Yeay for plants! I think the discus will really appreciate it! In my LFS, they have a huge display aquarium with plants and discus, and they aren't shy at all!

Also, good luck with the spider wood.... It's a love hate relationship with mine. I love its look, but it's so moldy! I had it since March, and I still need to clean it once a week with a toothbrush and hydrogen peroxyde. It shoots long stringy mold everywhere, and I had to throw away all my moss that was on it (2 Tropica 1-2-Grow), because the mold went into them, and caused stagnation and blue-green algae. Also, all the small wood strings rotted and broke down since.

MsFranzification - 7 years ago

Ricky Kenerly Cichlids - 7 years ago

Keeping different fish will make things more exciting for both yourself and your viewers! It will let you be inspired and allow you to have many more different types of videos than you previously thought possible. Your new fish room build will open so many possibilities for both yourself and your viewers. Besides the dedicated water line what other things are you going to start on your fish room in the near future?

Ricky Kenerly Cichlids - 7 years ago

Since things are starting to be done are you excited or do you feel a little stressed from the big project?

Solid Gold Aquatics - 7 years ago

After the water line is run (which the plumbing company is here as I type installing!) I'll start putting up the insulation and drywall and change out the roll up door for french doors. Basically all the capital improvements to the building that are needed to make it habitable for fish.

Chaz D - 7 years ago

Do you age your water?

Mitchell Lubline - 7 years ago

for coverage you should try anubias. they grow decent size and eats up the waste but provide the colors to bring out the discus colors. also the pecking order is extremely common. you may even have a pair of females with the blue being a male.

I don't keep discus, but have friends who do. From speaking with them I know that discus can be very picky about their diet. Often they get used to certain food and avoid eating other food. Usually they feed their discus with beef heart.

How do you dispose of the tested water

David Pierce - 7 years ago

Hey Jenny,
Love the direction your going with the discus tank. 1 word of advice would be to either get a school of smaller tetras or get 10 more blk phantoms. They will get very fin nippy if kept in small schools.
Great update, sorry YouTube is killing all you guys with the ad rev issues. Like Google doesn't make enough money on its own. GAH! Keep the vids coming.

Lirbs - 7 years ago

13:33 Everyone's paying attention to the tetras, while I'm looking at the pleco on the sponge filter, who is staring absently at his reflection.

Angry Azhdarchid - 7 years ago

I have an albino bristlenose with my fancy goldies, and there isn't any aggression. But I do need to convince my parents to get a larger tank soon.

Solid Gold Aquatics - 7 years ago

Yes, bristlenose plecos are the only plecos that are possible to keep with goldfish since they're smaller and less aggressive than many other plecos! Even then, I have heard some reports of an occasional BN pleco going "rogue" and deciding to snack on a goldfish, so it's still recommended to keep a close eye on them of course. :)

T Holz - 7 years ago

Discus are hard to keep happy. I've been keeping fish for over 30 years and I've been struggling to keep them alive for two years. I have four doing well but I have lost six. Try feeding them beef heart They love that and grow well.

Sean - 7 years ago

Discus... not the biggest fan - and I had mine for almost a decade (the oldest got to 12)! They didn't eat for ages to begin with and were shy. They got better obviously, but I'll never keep them again. The water changers are a pain and if you don't keep them up, the discus will stunt. I had mine with clown loaches, which are still going strong and I got them before my discus so they're about 13-14 years old now. I even have one rummynose tetra left, which is about 9 years old (you can see how the longevity and health of all my fish was helped by the discus maintenance routine, i.e. pristine water).

Kashmere Art - 7 years ago

I'm so glad you took some Black phantom tetras, they're one of my favourite school fish! I love them, and they are indeed very interesting!

Good choice <3!

Luke Thompson - 7 years ago

discus do prefer a lower ph so maybe try lowering it a little bit

Luke Thompson - 7 years ago

Ah okay that makes sense i didnt take into account that they could have been raised at higher ph than what most keepers keep them at.

Solid Gold Aquatics - 7 years ago

Many tank raised discus (as these are) are actually accustomed to slightly higher pH than what they would normally experience if they were living in the wild. For these discus, a pH of 7.2 is fine and it's important that it doesn't fluctuate. Trying to lower or raise your pH for various reasons often actually does more harm than good because once you start messing with pH, it's very tough to keep it consistently stable and changes in pH can be detrimental to their health.

Jan Maggies Mom - 7 years ago

Jennie, I absolutely love your videos. You have been my inspiration to have my Oranda Goldfish. I bought the cutest pair that were pals in the pet shop. They are so active and chase each other all over the tank. Thanks for all the advice on decor and feeding. I'm hooked now!

Wendy Hankin - 7 years ago

I love Flotsam and Jetsam. I have a black moor called Flotsam. My golden fantail Jetsam died about two months ago from swim ladder issues.

Aleksander Fimreite - 7 years ago

I got my 4 discus a few weeks after yours. I have them in a planted tank and have experienced simular behaviour in terms of shyness. They are very scared. I talked to the breeder for tips. And they reccomend to add more discus, as they feel more comfortable in a larger group. They began being less shy after a while, but in the beginning i underfed them sadly, I wasn't aware. So the breeder gave me a heads up their fat reserves was all burned out! So I started feeding more, and they are all healthy and happy. But more feeding resulted in them feeling less like they needed to fetch food and to be more careful! Which makes sence. I will add more fish in the future when i find some that I like. And I believe that will help out the shyness.

c k - 7 years ago

I love the albino plecos. I had bought 2 of them and they kept mating. I ended up with hundreds of them. had to give all but my 2 original to my local fish store. they are now in separate tanks I don't want anymore babies even tho they are cute.

Sebastian Dominic Vincenzo - 7 years ago

After watching a couple of minutes of your video a tought to my self she should get some albino longfind bristlenose pleco. (I got them my self) A couple of minutes in to the video you say that you got them. Really great fish!:)

no wounder why lol the temperature is to high i'm surprised someone as knowledgeable as you couldn't tell that . so i am telling you for nothing gurl turn the temperature down to at least 20/30 degrees then u wouldn't have this issue. i know this as i have kept discus , Oscar cichlids and Severums in the past.

Kylle Goldberg - 7 years ago

i really hope your right because if you aren't you will end up loosing all your discus fish and not just one., i'm not judging u lol just giving advice one hobbyist to another is all.

Solid Gold Aquatics - 7 years ago

The tank temperature is 82 degrees F and discus thrive in a range of temperatures from 80-90 F. The temperature is absolutely not too high.

Piglet - 7 years ago

Discus rarely eat pellets from my experience. I've found beefheart if the best for young discus. For the amount of times that I have tried to get them to eat pellets they won't. Mine also enjoy flakes which they get fed in between beefheart or livefood feedings. I've also found that if there's less than 5 discus problems do appear. Also the pecking order can get out of hand in discus tanks with such small groups and can lead to stunting. Good luck !

Hey, love your videos! I have a question, I have four fancy goldfish. 3 of them wait at the top of the tank when they see me because they know its time for food, the black moor stays at the bottom and just continues searching for food in the gravel. Any ideas on how to get him to join the rest of them? I feel he isn't eating enough.

austalien1 - 7 years ago

skyve skl - 7 years ago

you could try diy food (watch Joey's video) my discus would only eat bloodworms and nothing else but when i tried Joeys Diy food they went crazy for it probably because of the smell

Sophie Paterson - 7 years ago

pH is way to high for discus

Sophie Paterson - 7 years ago

Solid Gold Aquatics sometimes, don't worry I also have discus and it's similar to an issue I had, that was the only reason I was pointing it out. Once I lowered my pH, it's now at 6.5 they seemed more active and were eating much better. I know all the stuff on wild/domestic bred but could be interesting to try. Also with the shyness maybe try lowering the LED wattage I found this encourage mine to come out more and not dart away so quickly! I also started feeding mine off tongs, they now respond when I walk past the tank which could maybe also help in developing a bond/decreasing the need for them to hide!

Jonathan Kaany - 7 years ago

I was a long time discus keeper. I had had 8 in 65 gallon tank bought from a very famous south florida breeder. I had them for many many years and had many ups and downs. Most said I would kill some but that never happened till I sold the tank and 8 highly prized discus. I had fake plants, wood, etc. but ended up going with a live planted tank and they loved it and so did I. Lots more work though. Yes, they can be quite spooky. Strangers would make them freak out and often times even I would I and just hoped the didn't crack the glass or kill themselves. I went thru all the stress they will give you thinking one might die. Once you get to know your discus and they know you things change. The are really interesting fish to observe. Amazing personalities. Just turn out all the lights and light up a special stoogie and lay on the couch and watch them till you fall asleep. In my mind this is the best way to really see them act as natural as possible in a tank.
I never got them to eat pellets. It was always frozen food or frozen blood worms and I had a bad habit feeding them live blood worms. Feed them live blood worms and your discus will love you forever! Well until you don't do waters changes on time!

Your fish are soo pretty. You said they were very shy and all. Maybe you could add some plants (especially floating plants) discus love to hide and dont like direct light.

Solid Gold Aquatics - 7 years ago

I did shake the bottle. The test was accurate, there were no nitrates because I had just done an 80% water change the day before.

Lucy McCance-Lowe - 7 years ago

my fish do bite the surface of the water but stop when I feed them

Judge POng - 7 years ago

I've seen keepers mix discus and gold fish and had success with it. in fact they say they're a perfect pair...

Judge POng - 7 years ago

I think I still have the link, a video of keepers talking about mixing goldfish and discus... you might want to debunk in the future...

Judge POng - 7 years ago

Solid Gold Aquatics sure, I keep discus myself... never had goldfish... just thought if you've heard of it?

Solid Gold Aquatics - 7 years ago

Ooh, I would disagree. Discus like warm water (80+ degrees F) and it wouldn't be good to keep goldfish at such high temps long-term. Discus are also territorial and are quite nippy and I don't think they would let the goldfish get enough food, since they're so much faster than goldfish. And if we're talking wild-type discus, they need water with a low pH, which wouldn't be good for goldfish, who like neutral or higher pH. Not a good mix!

NOTakeda - 7 years ago

Already three months!? Wow, time is going faster then the flash
Your discus are beatiful!

TheCheesyNinja - 7 years ago

your discus is beautiful! <3 im sad for you that 1 passed away! ;-;

your new fish is so pretty i love plecos! good luck with rebuilding your fishroom! :D

Linda Hickman - 7 years ago

You are an excellent artist. It is not easy to visualize your vision for the fish room, so perhaps you might do some sketches of what you have in mind so those of us who don't "get it" might have a better idea of where you are headed with this??

pro builder - 7 years ago

My personal favorite small fish are kuhli Loaches and Rasbora Harlequins. I also like comet goldfish. I would like to donate but I haven't a clue how.

pro builder - 7 years ago

Ah, I see whats goin on now, I'll make a pay pall tomorrow. Its about time really.

Solid Gold Aquatics - 7 years ago

Kuhli loaches are great! Here is a link to the donation page if you'd like to help out. :) http://solidgoldaquatics.com/rebuild/

AquaWoman - 7 years ago

Wow, was shocked you didn't have any air stones in that tank! Glad you put one in. They also like water movement. I'm breeding Discus and have been successfully keeping them for years now. If you need any help please don't hesitate to ask. Check out my Discus at my AquaWoman channel.

Haley Kemp - 7 years ago

You inspired me to adopt 2 common goldfish from my animal shelter! They had 2 fancy but I didn't have room for them/: i now have a 20 gallon long, a 10 gallon and a 20 gallon that have been my new hobby! I grew up with fish but you reminded me about it. Helps with college for sure. THANK YOU JENNI!!❤️

How big does a tank have to be for an axolotl?

Solid Gold Aquatics - 7 years ago

At least 10 gallons per axolotl. I have three in a 40 gallon aquarium.

Dafoose - 7 years ago

You can build a shed with way less than 25k. Of course, most of your cost is probably coming from overhead (Aka, the cost of running the contractor)
So what can you do, right?

sahanaj delwar - 7 years ago

Jenny I had two plecos in my community tank name billy beast and bistu but billy beast died then i did a water change after the water change bistu started attacking other fish ? why is this happening

Maller 73 - 7 years ago

It could have been affected by the loss of the dead pleco

TheJibootyinfiresme - 7 years ago

one of my goldfish are always pipping and i dont know why, i have 3 in a 70 gal, everything is all good but he has been doing this for like 8 months now. i added a long airstone and nothing changed and i even have a sponge filter in their as well... idk whats up with him, his poop shows alot of bubbles too

TheJibootyinfiresme - 7 years ago

Solid Gold Aquatics ahhh ok thank you for telling me! recently he is just sitting at the bottom of the tank or gulping air untill food time comes ;-;
i have a feeling he is gonna leave me soon but at least i gave it my best !

Solid Gold Aquatics - 7 years ago

Goldfish do that a lot, sometimes for no reason (at least not a reason you can do anything about). One way goldfish can control the inflation of their swim bladder is through the pneumatic duct in their esophagus that leads to the swim bladder. I don't know exactly why (and I can't find any research about this either) but for some reason my goldfish who have had swim bladder issues have also tended to be habitual "air-gulpers". I think they may be struggling with regulating their swim bladder, so they're gulping excess air in an attempt to regulate it.

JTB Reptiles - 7 years ago

I thought that discus liked low pH??? Nice vid Jen!

JTB Reptiles - 7 years ago

Solid Gold Aquatics I imagine that to be the case, although I'd still be inclined to believe that thousands upon millions of years of evolution to the natural habitat will have more hold on requirements than a few years of captive breeding. Dogs still like to walk, after all ;)

Solid Gold Aquatics - 7 years ago

Wild caught discus need a low pH. But these days so many of these colorful morphs have been tank-raised in water with a slightly higher pH, so they're accustomed to it. As long as the pH doesn't fluctuate, most tank-raised discus will do just fine with a pH of 7.2 like what I have here. :)

JTB Reptiles - 7 years ago

Also you might be interested in diamond tetras for the tank, I think they'd fit in really well!

Sara Bell - 7 years ago

Solid Gold Aquatics thank you so much for replying he is so beautiful! All your pets are beautiful! He just so happened to stick out to me because he looked just like my little girl. They could have passed off as twins

Solid Gold Aquatics - 7 years ago

He's a rescue and he isn't any specific breed. This type of cat is usually called "domestic longhair" - it's a general catch-all term for longhaired cats that aren't any particular breed.

Squeaky Squirrel - 7 years ago

You can also attach a photo of a larger discus on one side of the tank and they'll think he's the alpha cause he's the biggest and won't bug new fish or the smallest one

When ever I test the ammonia levels in my 29 gallon tank and my family tanks it allows comes back clear.

Andrew Becker - 7 years ago

It's definitely defection I just tested it came back the same for all of the. (They are the same brand)

Andrew Becker - 7 years ago

Thx

Solid Gold Aquatics - 7 years ago

If it's the API Freshwater test kit (the one I'm using) it should be very faint yellow when ammonia is zero. Perhaps you're not using it quite right or you have a defective test kit? It would be worth getting a new ammonia test solution kit just to be sure.

Morgan Hendler - 7 years ago

Hi! Love the video❤️

Chewy's Bro Aquatics - 7 years ago

I had the exact same issue with shyness and feeding because of the shyness with my clownfish. He would go crazy and kick up sand when ever someone made any movement near the tank. It went in for a month or so and one day he just clicked and was no longer shy. He's been fine and eating great ever sense

Hunter Folden - 7 years ago

I had a few of those tetras beware THEY ARE NOTORIOUS FIN BITERS never had one that din't nibble on everything that moved

Patrick Kavanaugh - 7 years ago

Yessi Vee - 7 years ago

Hunter Folden serpae tetras almost fin nipped my Goldie's to death, but ghost haven't had an issue

iCST - 7 years ago

Hunter Folden Black phantom tetras are not nippy at all. You might have mistaken them for serpae tetras or black widow tetras, which are notoriously nippy, but black phantoms are some of the most docile and peaceful tetras.

Kashmere Art - 7 years ago
