I wouldn't say I'm a beginner but, I started this hobby like a year ago and I am still kind of nervous to purchase discus fish. I'm planning on either a 55 gallon tank or a 70 gallon one. Right now, I have four goldfish in my 40 gallon tank, yes overstocking I know. I have been told that discus are one of the harder fishes to keep..
Hi... Discus are not hard to keep if you keep the water and filteration and these 15 points that I have mentioned in this video... Don't over stock.. Ideally its 10 gallons per Discus.. So plan your stock accordingly..
How did i not subscribe or find you before. You know your stuff and very helpful info. I love how you added different siphon for different tanks. I have 2 siphons for 14 tanks and 4 nets, I got a disease in the baby tank and now its in 5 of my 14 thanks to either siphon or net... keep up the good work man
Very informative video....i had few tanks before with gold ...and othr kind of fishes ...but nevr discuss.....soon going to hav lot....just waiting for house renovation....i will surely contact you ...bcos want to buy lots of them
@Rahul, awesome video! Very thoughtful of you to include timestamps on your video! I instantly subscribed when I say your video on carpet plants without CO2. I'm looking forward to more videos on propagating plants.
Hi Rahul great video . Very informative . How important is lights in a discus aquarium . Is it mandatory or can I do so without it . If it's mandatory suggest some that I can put inside the acquarium ( water proof ones) since I have an acquarium cover. Won't be able to keep light on the top
Hi Rahul, very informative indeed. One thing I would like to know whether its ok to have an internal filter?? Also would you inform whether the size of all the Discus should be the same or is it ok to have discus of different sizes.. Do the big ones bully the small ones?? Do let us know.. Cheers 😊
Hi Rahul. Could you please let me know what pH do you keep your discus in, how do you decrease the pH as I have pH of 8.2 after aging the water and how do you avoid pH swings while water changes. Thanks in advance.
Ideally 6.5 to 7.5 is good pH... I currently use a ro unit... You can try almond leafs... I don't recommend the pH reduction products because the pH will keep changing which very harmful for fish
I got lot of insides about the discus fish as well as maintenance . I ask one question if fish affected some decease how to identify and share the treatment . Which are the mediation currently are you using .
Super Video man. Almost a concise summary of all your videos till now. I guess most of the tips and suggestions a re Best Practices to be used in general irrespective of the type of fish. Eagerly waiting for the day I feel more confident of trying out Discuss.
If you have that much of water you can... But weekly 2 water changes are more than enough.. In drip system there is lot of water wasted.. If you can use it for plants and all then OK
Sorry.. I have never kept wild Discus.. So no idea... But it is not the regular water parameters.. So I am not sure if you can mix wild and tank breed Discus
Hi Rahul great vedio Just keep it up my friend . Rahul a quick advise if you please can i keep 10 discus stendker in 240 L will it be enough when they grow in full size, I have no tank mates and only two 18cm artificial plants because I start having aggrisive problems problems, also after all your advises now I am very confident of myself to keep discus. Thanks a millions Nasir
If you are not sure of that I recommend not to buy from that seller.... See you should understand one thing a fish will eat only what it has been eating for a long time... A full meat eating fish does not know Pellets is also food... Please understand that... So please check what the fish has been eating... Simply forcing a fish to eat something and simply doing treatment will never help.. You will put the fish in more stress...
Hi I wanted to ask you, I am starting a 110 gal tank and trying to establish and cycle it, I added 4 guppies. When my tank is etablished I want to put discus and get rid of the guppies. Do you think that is ok to do?
See Guppies carry a lot of parasites.. Which will remain in the tank.. And will effect your Discus... Best is to use products like seachem stability or api quick start (these 2 are good} .. cycling the tank
Hello sir ...great video... sir please help me out I have just 1st time setup a new tank for discus I have bought 5 discus of medium size just 1day back but they are only seating at bottom and in a corner of the tank .. and have not yet eat any of their food ... sir please help me..my water temp is about 28-29°
Thanku so much rahul bhai...should i add some driftwood in it... And really i enjoyed your videos with full knowledge.. Even i always keep to watch your discuss at the background of your videos
Hi, Great video. I have a black background planted aquarium (75 gallon) and white sand substrate. Will the black background cause peppering. Should I change it? I am thinking about getting 2 each of blue diamonds, deep red turquoise, rafflesia. Will these be okay?
Like I said.. Once you're fishes are used to you and your setup peppering will not happen... These fishes are with me since 2 years plus... So they are completely comfortable... But when they are new and if you put them in a dark background.. They will feel stressed
I am planning to start one myself i was hoping to find information on a planted discus tank can you do another video on it or reply here Thank you so much for the great video Keep it up 👍🏻 stay safe
I personally don't like to keep Discus in a Planted tank.. Because it gets difficult to maintain the water parameters... I might do one big display tank later.. But not now..
Hi Rahul. Where do you purchase the aquarium analog thermometer the ones half moon shaped which is visible in all your videos. Couldn’t find it on Amazon mate. Pls help
I want to keep bare bottom tank for discus is it necessary to place white or black paper under tank so that discus fish can't see himself in bottom glass. I hv glow tetra so I can't put paper under tank now what I can do.
Hey, I'm starting my 1st discus tank. And I got all (but one) of my doubts clarified in this video. My house is a bit noisy with the road traffic and horns. All my other fishes do fine. Would it stress out the Ds? And is 33x14x14inches (100litres) for 6 Ds fine?? HELP!!!😣😄👍👌👏👏
Hi.. Bro noise is not much of an issue... To much of movement in front of the tank is not ideal.... Ideal tank capacity is 30 liters or 10 gallons for a Discus so they can put on size....
@@FwrapperAqua Thanx Bro, that's an incentive. Nah..movements/ persons are very minimal in my room. I got you on 30ltrs/D, still asked..and still risking in 100ltrs for 6. Fingers crossed! 😊🤘🏼
hello, i have a 15gal tank, is it ok just to have 1 pc of discus size about 10cm? i plan no tankmates but planted with pots, bare bottom. thank you in advance
Please see my video.. The very first thing I have mentioned is discus are a schooling fish you need keep them in groups.. Minimum 6 to 8 nos.... Please don't keep 1 fish... Stress it out
It's an informative video. Great. I used digital thermometer with glass thermometer. Both indicate same temperature. So if when digital thermometer will have problems, it automatically get recognized because of glass thermometer. I request to make the video on water hardness i. e. GH, KH, dGH. What is proper hardness for discus. How can it maintain??
Hi.. Thank you for your feedback.. I to use both the thermometers in the same tank... I haven't gotten into so much details with water.. I have mainly learnt about the tds and pH.. I need to be really sure about a subject before I make a video.. I will once I learn it...
Hi. Nice Video. very informative. I learnt a lot on maintaining Aquariums. Can you make a video on Gold Fish ?Where would you get a analogue type of thermometer for aquariums?Can you send me a link for this?
Hi bro.. One of my discus fish is not eating pass 4 to 5 day's it's always at the Conner up ways like and the fins are little clamped and this is my first time in keeping discus so tell me what should I do bro
Please send me a video of your fish to fwrapper.aqua@gmail.com or please post the video along with water parameters on our Facebook page Fwrapper aqua... Without seeing the fish I cannot say anything
I generally get from Mumbai... Which varieties do you want... I can source... Let me know the size you are looking for...mail me the details to ask.fwrapperaqua@gmail.com.. Also send me your number
Bro this setup costed me about 17000... Actually I have made 3 videos on how to set up a Marine tank... And I have explained everything in detail in those videos... Please do have a look
I bought video tetra fish 3 days before from a pet shop, they r not eating at all it's been 3rd days & their tank mates are gold fish. What can I do give me some tips.
@@clayberry generally gold fish and tetras are not a good combination.... You need to ask the shop guy what he was feeding them.. Also tetras take some time to settle..
My Betta fish is sick it has swollen eyes & gills also it's scales are not normal.. is it right to treat them with sea salt ? I'm changing tank water daily also given them amoxicillin capsules & I do keep them in morning sunlight for 15 mins? Please let me know is this the right way of treatment ?
