Discus fish - living room at Xmas Video
Just tested my new 'HD Vado' camera and filmed the Discus Aquarium in our Living Room.....the lights are only around the fire at this time of Year! I will be moving at least 5 of the younger Discus to another Tank in the next day.
The Congo Tetras are breeding and I have 2 other Mature pairs of Discus producing fry reguarly. A RAM, Rummy's and 4 Sterbai Corydoras are also in as Tankmates.
They are generally peaceful but have the odd chase when I go near the Glass, as they think they are about to be fed!!

Rossy, Dear i am setting up a fish tank at home and looking forward to keep discus as the elegance of discus in mesmerizing. Just wanted to get some advice prior to start form expert like you who are in the fish keeping field for many years. Is it hard to keep discus as i read in articles about fish. By the way, i will be using pure well water and will that be fine for discus...? can i stick to one particular food for discus...? How do you check your PH, Nitrites and Etc in your tank...? Please.

@jjgentle1821 I use Peat-pelletts within a pillow (pair of tights, with a knot in.; new, clean ones!!) + bogwood. this brings my Tapwater of 7.0, down to 6.5< overnight.
@jjgentle1821 just ...
@jjgentle1821 just wondering what is the ph of your water,and how do you keep from fluctuating?
@jjgentle1821 Hi; ...
@jjgentle1821 Hi; No, I now use a 'HMA Filter; 'Heavy Metal Axe'......+ I have some SERA Ceramic noodles within my Fiter, which makes it clear. + regular water-changes helps.

@h2opolo131 It is just Golden sand from an Aquatics Shop; You can get it cheaper from 'Argos' in UK; basically it is just Kids Playsand. it is already cleaned, but I washed it before adding.......it looks good.
@calidago I don't ...
@calidago I don't use C02; Just put the light on for about 9 hours per day......I have 2 Tubes; a 'Power-Glo and a Aqua-Glo. (Discus need a high Temp, so choose Plants which will survive in warmer water.)
what kind of sand ...
what kind of sand is that and how do u clean your tank?
I have a 75 gallon ...
I have a 75 gallon hexagon and I'm dying to fill it with discus... Do you use CO2 or do the plants grow that way on their own? Your help is much appreciated :-)
Thankyou; I have ...
Thankyou; I have moved a few out since then......the colours are brighter with the addition of White-worms's a food treat.
great video :P
great video :P
These ones a ...
These ones a certainly curious; Wild Discus, or newly introduced Fish may be a different matter...more 'skittish'....but these are fine. They tended to go to the corner where the lights were a lot. (they are not there now. Xmas is over)
An excellent idea ...
An excellent idea having a Discus Aquarium in a living room. Discus like peace and quiet and they can get very skittish, but at the same time they are very curious and love to watch anything and everything that is around them. I am sure they love the Xmas lights! Well done!!
absolutely ...
absolutely brilliant,done your discus proud,very impressed,keep up the good work.
Thanks; Yes, I have ...
Thanks; Yes, I have 6 Aquariums; one a 5-footer which is homing 5 of these Discus now; + 2 other 4-footers and 2, 30''x18''x12''.
The water is now ready for Discus in them all.......I may get a few more Sterbai Cories, but not others as my Temp. is 86F.
I may get a few more Rummy's, but I vowed not to, after losing some a while ago. Congo's are now my Fav.Tetra!
+ Happy New Year to you and all other Youtube Subscribers!
5 stars, camera ...
5 stars, camera seems great :) Fish all look very happy and healthy :) Water crystal clear. You planning to upgrade as theirs lots of growing to be done with these beautiful fish :) 8-10ft would be nice :D. I say this because i'd love to see a big shoal of rummynose in there and a bigger shoal of cories of different mix :)) Glad you have another tank to move the smaller discus into aswell :) Happy New Year :)
