34 minutes of educational content. I watched all of it and I appreciate the time it must have taken.

George is the King of Discus keeping! Lol. Thanks again for a great video man! Very helpful!

Keeping domestic Discus is rather easy and not any harder than other South American cichlids….However keeping Wild discus is a completely different journey and demands an incredible amount of dedication towards tank maintenance. I’ve kept both and even though I like the look of wilds better, I would tell anyone who asks to lean towards domestic vs wild.

Such a informative video. Some things I had never thought of. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to make this very helpful video. I have been keeping Discus Fish for a while now and much of what I have learned the past few years is from you. Thanks! Great content as always.

What a perfect video my friend. Great job taking us on a fact filled journey into the world of Discus keeping. I am cycling my 75 gallon now.

Buying your Discus and Angelfish from the most reliable and knowledgeable Supplier in the country wattleydiscus.com/

Thank you so much for this, very helpful. This will help me keep my new discus well. From Northern Ireland

Great content

Fantastic content. You have such beautiful fish and I love the simplicity of the Hardscape and the way it has all been laid out. I love your videos and I learn a great deal every time. Thank you.

All of my Discus come from one place only Jack Wattley Discus. Their handling and care from the moment they ship is incredibly well thought out so that when they leave their facility on their way to your home, business or gallery, they are already off to the best start possible. I trust Gabe Posada and his Wattley Discus family with all of my expensive Discus Fish needs and I hope you will as well. Wattley does not sponsor me or pay me anything... they have earned my trust and admiration over the years by being the best at what they do. Tell them George at Aquatic Concepts sent you. Thank you George Wheeler President and CEO of Aquatic Concepts. For your convenience here is a link to their site. wattleydiscus.com/ "bringing water to life" Thanks for watching.

Thank you for the much needed video. I bought one discus and I’ve become obsessed. Im going with an all-discus tank soon. I sure wish I knew how to plant a centerpiece like that.

discus are amazing fish.

Kept discus. Got out of freshwater to keep an SPS reef tank and now coming back to discus. Couldn’t agree with your list more. I had discus spawning in rock hard 8.0 PH system. However, I had sand and I’m going bare bottom this time. I ran auto water changes through a drip system in addition to gravel vacuuming and will repeat that. Sumps make drip systems easy and fortunately I’m on a well so I pay a flat rate for water. Get good discus from a reputable breeder, keep a good routine, keep their water clean, and they are happy

Nice yellow Discus!

Excellent advise. Years ago I started with discus and did well, however, I researched, did water changes with a python system and enjoy your videos as a refresher and simply enjoy seeing your fish. Like anything, of some viewer decides to start with discus please listen to him. It's also easier to care for bigger discus. I started with about 3 inch in size and all from the same supplier, added to the tank at the same time. I recommend a private owned store /supplier over big chain stores and taking the time to visit a few times looking over how the fish are cared for and look for sick or dead fish and if they breed the discus it's better.

Keeping your Discus in a bare bottom display tank is a matter of preference. If you’re breeding them then bare bottom is the way to go. I successfully keep Discus in a planted tank. Keeping Discus for an experienced hobbyist isn’t hard if you follow some basic requirements keep the water warm & clean give them plenty of room, feed them a varied high quality food and finally enjoy the view.

Nice video. Canandaigua NY here.

Very informative. Beautiful tank. What is dimensions of the tank. Which plants ,rocks and light you have used.

Great video! discus aren't hard as such-they are just hard work & as the old saying goes it's not work if you enjoy it!

I’m one of them, I’ve been keeping fish for many years and have lost very few fish during that time because I do keep up with my tank maintenance but I’m still nervous to venture into discus

wish we could get a tip on that 15 min change mehtod... that bea game changer

Great informative video. I would love to get my Discus from JW but I live in Scotland & wouldn't put the through that length of time in a bag😞. What filter system do you use & what's the turn over rate? Thx for the video,your fish look amazing ✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It also depends on your water chemistry. People that say their not hard to keep seem to always have optimal parameters like lower pH. Everyone's experience is different. I would never say they are an easy fish to keep and my husbandry is on point.

Hi Sir, i need some guidance. Can I use Cichlid trace for flowerhorn fish? Also can you suggest any seachem products for flowerhorn.

Great video, I just bought three 2 inch discus fish, I just introduced them into my tank. I saw online i should wait 24 hours after putting them into the tank b4 the first feeding. Is this true? When should I try to feed them for the 1st time in their new tank?

Very nice video, I still have a question, what should I do if I don't have quarantine tank, just acclimate them and hope for the best?

Can you use water that has run through a home water softener for discus fish tank?

What’s the name of the colorful fish at bottom of tank at 10: 07? Thank u . Very nice video

Lovely tank. How many gallons? Where did you get it?

I am considering purchasing a 114 (or 160) gallon discus tank to be set up - AND maintained --by an aquarium store here in Houston. They said they only need to come out twice a month for maintenance of the tank. However, you are saying a 30% water change twice a week is optimal. My tank would be situated near my kitchen sink so water changes would be easy for me. In other words, I don't mind the work. However, do you have any views why they think coming out only twice a month is good enough? ALSO, I mentioned that I would imagine the fish would need cycling (of a few months) before they'd put the fish in the tank. The store guy said, they'd would put the fish in about 7 days after set up. Do you have any thoughts on that?

If do over filtration is it ok for discus tank any suggestions on over filtration

Whatbis the tank size? And what do you feed them? What is the plant inside? Very nice content

I'd like to setup discuss tank, my issue is heating. Would I be OK for 400liters tank to have 2 fluval e200w and sump 120 litres with 100w? Or what is your recommendation...thx

Can I consult you a question? Can I use a whole house potassium chloride water softener for Discus fish? Will use Potassium Chloride instead of Sodium Chloride

hello, can i keep discus fish and amano shrimp together?

I don’t have a water supply system like you do. My tap water is 8.2 PH and my KH is 2 according to the API’S Master’s Water test kit. I have a 90 gallon cycling now & will do for some time until the tank is fully seasoned. It seems the KH of 2 is a bit too low even for discus. Any advice? I could use it. I am getting so many different opinions on how to keep discus. I have been told by a local fish store owner to bring my KH up some by using a buffer. I don’t know everything but wouldn’t that sky rocket an already high PH? Respectfully, Marty Borst 0:35

What about acclamation?

George. I love your videos but It be nice if you do something about the volume. You are soft spoken person but I can't hardy hear you.

How do plants do if your temperature is 86 degrees?

Hi how many times a day wee have to feed adult discus fish? please help me thank you very much,🙏

I have a 75 I’ve had running for about 2.5 years and have had good and bad luck with the hobby. Been in the hobby for about 6.5 years consistently. All freshwater. In my 75 gallon I have a 750GPH canister filter with a UV sterilizer and I use sand in my tank. Always had a planted aquarium, I have a few a few gourami and neons with a pleco, I’ve been considering getting 6 2.5 inch discus and I’m extremely nervous and on the fence about it. Any advice?

Sir discus jump out of tank or not

What rocks are those? I think it will change the ph and kH in your water. Not good for discus.

This video makes me realize that people are making fish keepinh unnecessarily hard and expensive. First they overfeed the fish so that there's food all over the place. And then you got to buy an expensive equipment to remove the food that you shouldn't have put in a tank in the first place.

Could you show your fish tank and not you all the time. you do give good advice though.!!!!

Leave out the music for heaven's sake 🙄 What's it for? If I came round to your house & you started showing me your fish & explaining how to keep fish would you suddenly have to put some music on? It's just so ridiculous 🙄 And getting all too common on youtubers videos. So irritating I'm off, Bye

Love you video well done. Could you please answer for me, While keeping discus, when doing water changes does the incoming water have to be at the same temperature as what's in the tank. Can I pour cold water from my tap.

Great video!! What happens when your fish gets sick in the med tank? Medicate the whole tank or... move one to a another med tank?
