[sousafan100]

[mannydisculovers]

Nice that's a great looking discus, really nice tank...

They look very happy. Well done!

Wow beautiful!

[putin88100]

WOW GREAT!!! what do you use to let the plants grow like this? what fertilizer systemm do you use? thanks for the post!

[jasonfish07]

Tell me how to look after them, I just put 10 in my pond outside hope they like it. Can i feed them the cat biscuits I feed my koi or do they prefer rice bubbles or something?

[robertrobert905]

@jasonfish07 that sounds good, i think they might enjoy it better in a goldfish bowl instead, that way you can keep an eye on them. and these fish love left over pizza

[jasonfish07]

@robertrobert905 Ok so ive got them all in a 10g goldfish bowl and ive feed them some pizza,, they are only eating the pepperoni tho is this normal?

[Jagger91910]

This is a very beautiful tank! Aren't discus a challenge to keep? If they are you certainly make it look easy! This piece is such a wonderful piano composition too.

[Ronfantiilan]

wow dude very fast growing fish do you have there., i hope mine will be that big in 5 months.,^_^

[weaselcheese6]

@robertrobert905 thanks a lot your tank/ discuses look fantastic

[weaselcheese6]

What is the name of your red discuses? I have never seen any like them!!

[robertrobert905]

@weaselcheese6 Tangerine Dream

[Toothpicks89]

your red discus are beautiful - i can't seem to get a hold of any for my tank :( but it's okay.. my discus are beautiful anyway!

How do the angels and discus get along? And do your angels tussle a lot? Or are you one of the lucky ones? ;)

[wazeer3]

wowww dude really nice aquarium...perhaps one of the best in utube..

i have a question can i have real plants in my aquarium without co2 and just plant them in my gravel..

thanks in advance..

[robertrobert905]

@wazeer3 will work, but not with all plants, and you need good lighting

[glebmax]

by the way, why is your koi angel fish so small?

[robertrobert905]

@glebmax the koi angels are recent

[glebmax]

how to take care of discus fish?

[robertrobert905]

@glebmax lol serious? such an open ended question. it's like asking on a date " Tell me about yourself ".... end of rant lol

[glebmax]

@robertrobert905 no, because i heard so much bout discus fish, like that its really hard to take care of it, but like, what are the major aspects of taking care of discus?

[vio7361]

@glebmax hey, u can probably find alot of useful links to how to care for these fish online..a friend of mine is raising some of these at the moment too, they are challenging to take care of, but not impossible and I heard they're really awesome fish to have haha

[vio7361]

@robertrobert905 just give them a link to help or something at least lol...they were just curious

[greatoutdoorsman2009]

did you ever get a pair out of them.

[robertrobert905]

@greatoutdoorsman2009 ya 2 pairs

[greatoutdoorsman2009]

@robertrobert905 holy cameltoe, did they raise their fry.

[robertrobert905]

@greatoutdoorsman2009 nope :( it was a community tank so they other fish ate the eggs

[dariolilgangster]

i jizzed when i saw this

[F8LBITEva]

great looking tank. I love it.

[55Range]

Magnificent!

[dcwdarklander66]

You have an absolutely beautiful aquarium. Its nice to know that there is in fact people who care for their pet fish and don't just stick them in bowls and wait for them to die.

[randomjuani]

thats awesome

[Beev60]

These are beautiful fish. When we were 1st married in an apartment and our first home in the 1970s we had several tanks. Once we got a dog, we sold all of our aquariums. Never were able to have discus, but we raised mating pairs of Jack Dempsey's and African white cichlids--which were so prolific that we sold the babies to an aquarium store for 50Cents each! Largest aquarium we ever had was maybe 75 gal, then 55, 40, 35, 25, 15 and 10. (started small and worked up to larger.

[Biogirl52]

I can see how it could look cramped with how big the fish are! Really fantastic tank, I have tank envy.

[TheFishman77]

Sick setup. It's not cramped. Only a hater would have that to say, meanwhile they got a 55g with discus setup with colored gravel and artificial everything. Haters are such b@#%hes. I swear.

[franmorr1966]

It may *look* cramped because these fish are always within two inches of each other. I think it looks great. Your discus are beautiful. I can see their growth in addition to the angels which have always been my personal favorites. Beautiful plants; I was never able to grow any real ones that lasted long.

[ANcl1234ehs]

Wat filtration do you use?? pleas :) Need something that works for my tank. it is a 540Liter with Discus and a lot off other fish, and live plants. ?really need some advice . thanks

[robertrobert905]

@ANcl1234ehs i have 2 filters, an aquaclear 400 or 500 and a penguin biowheel, the largest model. It's a big investment, about $150 perhaps, but these 2 filters will last you years (I had the aquaclear for almost 10 years) All you need in the filter are the sponges which also lasts forever.

[dizzyman195]

love ur aquarium (::: what extra stuff do u have to do for a planted aquarium?

[gckoors]

your fish/tank looks great. I am going to start with a 55 here soon. I hope i can get something like that going... damn

[EdOoi]

Those are really really good breed of discus

[ClanUvK]

omg your discus are huge

[12addictedfish]

your discusare packed in that  small tank they might be streesed

[robertrobert905]

it's a 72 gallon, that's more than enolugh space. it's just the angel making it look small
