OMG i think this is a bit oeverstocked, but the fish look happy!!! this is actually nice, but look into getting a bigger tank for the discus, personally i think the angels could use something bigger but they will survive i have seen a way worse overstock though.

Christopher Su - 10 years ago

Get some cherry shrimp and let them grow large so the angelfish and discus dont eat them

emazingjodaan - 10 years ago

Beautiful tank

Ross Norwood - 10 years ago

what do you use on the bottom? Fine gravel? or Sand?

alianisz - 10 years ago

how did u manage to adjust the ph?

MsWhitekanna - 11 years ago

Do you still have these Discus and Angelfish? I would love to hear an update from you in this regard, since I want to have a Discus/Angelfish combo tank too (albeit a larger one than this).

realy cool :)

Boris Koot - 12 years ago

nice tank but you need a bigger tank and more discus.... if they are 2 males it;s going to get bad...

oscarthewhale - 12 years ago

Aren't Serpae Tetras Fin nippers? Do they bother the angels and the discus?

sonofanutmonkey5 - 12 years ago

Nice tank. It would be awesome if you could check my tank out.

sonofanutmonkey5 - 12 years ago

Amazing fish and tank. Good job hiding your equipment but, even though you obviously know what you are doing, once the angelfish get larger you will definently need a larger tank for the discus and angelfish. I have 3 angelfish in a 55 gal. if you want to check it out but, look at the updated one.

matthew62628 - 12 years ago

is that real valisnernia plant you got on your tank...?

beautykiller17 - 12 years ago

@hhazawat dont put 3 angels together either 2 or 4 they have to be kept in even numbers is what i found out if you have 3, 2 of them will team up and beat up the other one. 10 gallons is way to small for 3 angels anyway 2 angels should even be kekpt in a 30 gallon + Stick with guppies in the ten gal. mollies can be aggresive if you dont have 3 or 4 females to every male, so they cant even be kept in a ten gallon, do your research

Ironiic zero - 12 years ago

can you really have a discus in a ten gallon

Scouse Lad - 12 years ago

can you make an update on this tank please? i would love to see how everything doing.

Doggiehello23 - 13 years ago

how do I add ph to it ?

fish - 13 years ago

Also, the reason they suggest not keeping angels and discus together is that angels can easily transmit diseases, even ones they don't have, to discus.

Edgar_ M - 13 years ago

im trying to set up an angelfish tank! but i cant seem to get rid of the ammonia! i tried everything. and my water doesnt look as clear as yours. any advice???please.

Shinok Aenlle - 13 years ago

in my opinion you should remove those serpae's they are fin nippers and not good for discus and angels its based on my own experience you may not see it but sometimes they randomly nip those discus fins...

islay4 - 13 years ago

Hi nice tank. I really like Angelfish but have a coldwater tank, is there a type that can go in coldwater or is there anything that looks like Angelfish that are coldwater. Thanks please reply

Richard B - 13 years ago

@19scottie guppies are not brackish. you are right about mollies tho.

Joshua Killins - 13 years ago

where did u get the discus'?

Rae C. - 13 years ago

This is tank is WAY over-stocked. Discus need a much bigger tank, and Angel's need tall tanks...

tomcat13claws - 13 years ago

Nice tank, you seem to take care of it well. You really should invest in at least a 29 gallon. They aren't that much money at all.

Scott Benstead - 13 years ago

@hhazawat Just a warning to you, mollies and guppies are actually brackish fish (freshwater with small amount of salt). They can live in freshwater but they will thrive in a brackish water tank.

wssher - 13 years ago

Damn Ur brave. I'm hesitant to have 2 angels in my 28 gal bowfront... Wish I had discus though.

Lori Newman - 13 years ago

@mattsoccer20 You can't. These fish should be in at least a 40. Since the angels and discus need 10 gallon EACH. I have 8 angels in a 55 and it is overstocked.

TheNinjacat10 - 13 years ago

@TheBettaMaster what happened to ur bettas???????? are they alive or dead? or u switchted them to another tank plz reply

TheBettaMaster - 13 years ago

Never. They even school together now.

Scouse Lad - 13 years ago

beautiful tank,i was just wondering do discus and angelfish ever fight????

Wawa4lyfe - 13 years ago

i love the crystal clear water and the setup

ben bush - 13 years ago

@hhazawat mollies can act aggressively to some fish, they killed my frog... at least that's how mine are... and for all of those fish id recommend a 20 gallon long... neon tetras do well in groups of six or more and are a lot more enjoyable to watch when they school. with the larger size it also makes it easier to take care of

IGenesis - 13 years ago

@TheBettaMaster is tat plastic plants ?where are the bettas?

oppressednation - 13 years ago

@fishkeeper456 thats just discus keepers being snobbish and i reckon some just try to blame angelfish for there ineptness .discus require lots of space and top quality conditions to their liking or else they quickly go down hill suffering from all sorts of different probs.angelfish and discus are found in the same habitats in the wild they can even be found swimming in mixed shoals in fact with a big enough aquarium sparsely stocked they compliment one another all fish can carry parasites

TheBettaMaster - 13 years ago

Yes, but I try to make it hard-to-see. I prefer to hide my unnatural looking equipment if I can.

TheBettaMaster - 13 years ago

The best advice I can give is for you to have fun, and take time to plan out your aquascape. Make your tank and expression of your own creativity.

Barak Obama - 13 years ago

Im going to get a new ( first trpoical tank ) its around that size 10 gallons and gona have like 2 or 3 angles neon tetras and maybe guppies or mollies =) if you got any advice plz tell me

Victor Moreno - 13 years ago

Those arent live plants right

tieulong chung - 13 years ago

do you have filter in your tank?

JS - 13 years ago

Hi, I was wondering if you knew anything about lighting? Because I have a 55 gallon that I want live plants in it but It has black sand which means I need better lighting...But idk if I should get something like a 6700 or 10k kelvin rated light or an Actinic Blue light any answer would be great!

TheBettaMaster - 13 years ago

This was only a temporary home, and the discus did very well here. There is no longer a problem keeping discus and angelfish together as there was before. The parasite problem you refer to has been almost totally eliminated through selective breeding & widespread sales of discus fish, and is no longer a problem. Furthermore, the use of RODI water and UV sterilizers have undoubtedly further decreased the likelihood of the spreading of pathogens.

TheBettaMaster - 13 years ago

Nope. Aqua Terra Brand Natural White Sand,

Victor Moreno - 13 years ago

Nice tank the snad is it Caribsea Aquarium Sand?

steamtil - 13 years ago

ur fish tank is perfect for those fish ... aslong as the filtration isgood the fish will be happy !! dont listen to all the knobs saying its to small... have fun

Twondonedidit - 13 years ago

Very nice tank but the discus fish needs at least a 50 gallon to be happy. Its not fair to the fish to live so close in captivity.

Samantha Griffith - 13 years ago

thoses fish are way to small for thoses fish

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

Discus are schooling fish and it's recommended to keep them in a pack of at least 3. Juvenile discus will be ok in your tank temporarily, but you'd eventually need to upgrade to a larger tank.

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

I use API brand pH down.

bobontheroof - 14 years ago

Ya i was wondering what way you adjusted your pH aswell since my tap is around 7.7ish~

punchmau - 14 years ago

How did you adjust your PH? Is there any other natural way to do it, instead using Chemical adjusters?

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

I knew that these juvenile discus would be fine in this setup for awhile until I finished setting up my larger tank. I suppose I could have waited and placed them in the larger tank to start off with, but no harm done. The discus are doing fine, and as soon as the finishing touches are placed on their larger home, they'll be placed in.

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

This is a temporary home only.

P L - 14 years ago

don't you think you're overloading your small 10 gallon tank with all those fish? discus need a lot of room.

Robin C - 14 years ago

I love your tank. What sand substrate are you using?

brend w - 14 years ago

You will need a much bigger tank than that for discus alone, unless you want to stunt their growth which can lead to death. Is a nice tank though :)

Melloki - 14 years ago

Very nice looking tank, I really love the bubble wall in back and that nice white sand. Are the plants live or plastic?

34charlie45 - 14 years ago

i had 5 discus a while ago in my old 40 gal tank and the 2 biggest grew to 7 odd inches b4 i got rid of them all and atm i have a new 40 gal with angels n gouramis and 1 festivum and my angels are at like 5 inches now i bought them at 1 inch each so u need to upgrade to a bigger tank, i can tell u love ur fish so be kind and get a much bigger tank minimum of 30 gallons the bigger the better. ace fish anyway good luck mate

DanTheGangsta0 - 14 years ago

in my opinion a bit overcrowded but looks really nice

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

Generally it's not recommended to keep these fish together. However, I've done my research and have found that many people were able to keep them together successfully. Fortunately, the discus and angels are still doing well, and if anything goes wrong I'll be able to react very quickly.

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

I keep my discus based on recommendations from the internet site of rockymountaindiscus. The discus will adapt to higher pHs, but I've read that it's optimal to keep them at lower pH (~6.2). With the smaller tank they are in right now, I don't want to risk anything until I move them to my larger tank.

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

Yes, this is only temporary. Stay tuned.

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

Just be patient.

Mike Loewen - 14 years ago

hey i added sand into my tank and washed it very well the water is still alittle couldy any suggestions

RunFaster011 - 14 years ago

won't discus get to big for 10gal?

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

I use Aqua Terra brand natural white sand.

David Valladares - 14 years ago

k thanks but what about the sand?

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

It'd be fine as a temporary home for juveniles, but would require a larger tank in the future. Also, you need to be really careful when mixing Discus with Angels. Make sure the angels are disease free, and aren't added straight from the store. It's also good to make sure the angels are smaller then your discus, and to treat the water prophylactically for disease causing microbes.

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

I use a bubble wall air diffuser.

mmmxpoptarts - 14 years ago

What kind of airpump are you using? I like how it's an entire wall of bubbles.

David Valladares - 14 years ago

could i put 2 discus and 2 angels in a 20 gal long? also do you use a gravel vacuum to clean the sand?

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

you are right.. but this is an outdated video. the fish are being gradually transitioned to a large tank. stay tuned.

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

I bought it at a local pet store. If you google 'Aqua Terra Natural White Sand', you should be able to find it online pretty cheap. There's a website that sells it for less then $4 per 5lb bag. You'll probably need about 5-6 bags.

Sam - 14 years ago

where did you get the sand? im going to get a 30 gallon in like 2 weeks and i want sand instead of gravel but im haveing no luck. all im finding is saltwater sand...

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

It's been working well so far, but it's only temporary. They are still juveniles, so the fish should be fine for now. I plan on moving them when my larger tank is set up.

Michael Nguyen - 14 years ago

is 10 gal tank a little bit small for all those fish?

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

I have a larger tank, and will move the discus over as soon as it's ready.

jkennedy1007 - 14 years ago

tanks looks great just get a bigger one for the discus sake

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

It varies depending on where you go. Rockmountaindiscus offers a large supply at reasonable prices. It's probably not a good idea to keep discus in the same tank as bettas unless they are divided somehow.

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

Aqua Terra brand natural white sand.

Kieran Barnett - 14 years ago

what sand is at that you use as i am wanted to change my gravel and like the look of this tanks very nice discus

Star2000s - 14 years ago

Aaron Garcia - 14 years ago

agh man i miss logan =( my dad had discus before he died and your tank is overloaded and since the discus are big lodan will hide more so you can still keep her in there =D ( she will also eat the poopoos )

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

These are small discus (about 2 inches), and I take care of them based on recommendation from RockyMountainDiscus. They recommend 5gallons per discus (this is a 10g tank), and I also used treated water that is changed frequently. Furthermore, disease spread amongst fish is always a possibility. By your reasoning, you shouldn't keep multiple discus together in 1 tank ever since they are the even more closely related. The fish are doing well, don't worry about it.

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

It's temporary. I have a 50 gallon tank that I'm currently adjusting and a larger one on it's way. Also, the discus are still pretty small, and there will be plenty of time to move them later. Rocky Mountain Discus recommends 1 discus per 5 gallons of water, so it should be fine.

west betta - 14 years ago

i know its too small but its a nice show tank set up!

west betta - 14 years ago

nice tank set up =D

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

That's fine. As long as your temperatures stay relatively consistent & you avoid extremes (less than 65 or over 90 degrees), your fish should be oK. Temperatures do matter a lot more if you are trying to breed your fish though. And if you can help it, going with the ideal temperature is always best.

csgamer1 - 14 years ago

very nice setup : ) i love the sand! wish i had some. looks really nice,

TheBettaMaster - 14 years ago

Generally between 84-86 degrees.

Tor Thuresson - 14 years ago
