Honestly as long as this isn't your first ever fish tank just go for it. Sure, discus aren't the easiest fish to keep but if you know how to keep fish in general, keeping discus isn't that hard.

Hey Cory, Whenever I search any aquirum related I always watch your video on that topic first... Your honest and realistic. So many people act like these fish are some mystical thing that aren't to be raised by anyone but an expert but you are the expert so thank you for the great advice from all your videos not just this one.

Great advice Cory...I think the stress and worry comes from missing one of your top tips, DON'T BUY the $350 pair at the LFS....Get the $15 small ones and buy a group; well done!

I do not have fish. I was looking for a congratulation song for a middle school athlete who became the league champion in discus (track event) . : ) I enjoyed watching this video and finding out about discus fish. Your shared knowledge will help a lot of people have healthier discus fish.

Great advice on keeping Discus, at one time I had 10 tanks with only Discus, I got so paranoid I could not enjoy them. Thanks, Frank

I've raised Discus fry to adult hood and kept them for some years. I certainly share a lot of your experience and your video is well put. Great job.

Thank you so much Cory! I’ve been interested in keeping discus for quite a while and was always scared off by all these claims on how touchy they are. Thank you for clearing things up! I’ve been in the hobby for about half a year now and have five tanks already 😂 I have you to thank for gettin me into the hobby! Keep up the great work!!

Thank you for making the discus snobs angry. Much appreciated.

Thank you Cory, much needed video on how to keep it simple. I too have wanted to own them but have always been unsure on how to keep them. Feeling inspired now 😊

I got back into Discus after a long break only last week and I'm loving them again, the only thing I would add though - Always find out what food the Discus have been brought up on first before you get them, a lot of breeders will raise the fry exclusively on Beefheart to bulk up their size and when you get them home it can be hard sometimes getting them to eat other foods and the last thing you want is for your new fish to go on 'hunger strike' which they can do from time to time!

Cory I could not agree more. I keep German discus and tbh they are NOT that picky on water parameters at all. The biggest things I’ve found is temperature(which make me picking plants tricky), getting a good sized school, and feed often enough. The other tip I’d say is they are more prone to internal parasites than other fish in my experience so quarantining any tankmates and premedicating is extra important and you may need to occasionally do an additional metronidazole treatment whether that’s Seachem metroplex in food or just doing general cure in the whole tank occasionally. The other thing I’ve found is that they don’t need bare bottom tank and you don’t need a completely insane water change schedule. Just test your water and keep those nitrates low.

I enjoy watching this because I am just learning about fish. I visited a huge aquarium store and all the discus came to look at me at one end of the tank then the other. Amazing. I did not tap the tank. I understand that they are quite smart. Thanks for all your information.

I bought the Vibra Vibe because of your review. My angels love it!

Excellent video. I've been keeping fish for many years and tried discuss without much success. Your advice has inspired me to try again.

You are right on with your Discus care guide. I just want to add that stable pH is a must for a Discus and I always used SeaChem's Neutral Regulator with Discus Buffer, even though it uses phosphate in the Discus Buffer, which is the best stabilizer, I had no difficulty with plants or algae. And feed them small amounts throughout the day or they will not be round as adults because they were not fed enough.

Thanks Cory, l love the fact you don't just repeat what the so called experts say, if a fish is healthy & breeds in your tank you are obviously doing something right. I used to keep just discus in two 150g they bred often & sometimes two pairs would be spawning in the same tank. My tempreture was 26°C that's 79°F l think.

So you are saying that's not true. I just hope you not one of the ones who thi k everyone needs a million dollar tank for one goldfish. There are so many extremes in the fish community you never know what the right answer is. So the rule I go by is I do my research, but I experiment and see what works in my tank

Love what you said. "Keep what you love"

Very true and realistic video. Despite of various details by other people. I think that this is the best guide ever.... Good work. Indeed this hobby is purely for enjoyment and not for self stress.

Thank you I just got to today for myself and thank you for about the water temperature that's the main thing I'm good at maintaining my tank keeping the water clean but I didn't know about the temperature be that warm thank you and have a healthy and happy New Year

I can confirm discus will thrive by itself. Your tips are amazing btw thanks!

Great video . Stendker is super easy to take of as I am a first time discus owner

I couldn't agree more. I have kept and breed discus. They're wonderful fish if you are willing to care for them properly!

Yeah i agree. Ive kept discus in the past and temperature is a big key. You can keep them at lower temps but its much easier to run into problems. When i kept them in higher temps i noticed less issues. Also i ran into horrible problems when i bought 4 at a time. When i would get 6-8 at a time they would tolerate each other much more. I believe its a type of overcrowding mentality. More fish so there isnt anything to claim. Where if you have a few they each pick a corner and the new adds get bullied. Gorgeous fish but not for me. Just a bit too timid for my liking. Easy to breed as well once you get a pair, heavy feedings with slightly cooler water change (2-3 degreees cooler). Thanks for the share!

Cory I completely agree brother! I ve keep for years. I did hav angels with them. I had a wild caught that brought hair worm into my tank. Didn’t lose one. No meds worked for me. Just raised the temp and wiped out the worm. Enjoy your content!

I have also always been intimidated by what I read about discus : huge waterchanges, no plants, barebottem, difficult to feed, vulnerable to disease... Because of that when I recently got back into the hobby as an adult and decided to get a 5feet tank, I didn't even consider discus. Even though I have always liked how discus looked + they are one of the few schooling cichlids. By now I am pretty sure that I will get a discus tank when I have more space. I will also defnitly go for a semiunderstocked setup.

Cory you are so awesome for making these vids for the fish keeping community! Thanks so much for taking the time to do so! Appreciate you brother

I’d really like to keep discus. They are beautiful! I’ve done some research and am going to take it slowly and make sure I have all I need and prepare for them. I’ve had feedback saying don’t start with discus if you’re a beginner.

2:24 look at the yellow and its bottom things it looks like legs I can’t 😂😂

I like this video because of its concise information based on experience. I hope our new Discus thrives. We purchased two small beautiful Discus and placed them in an established 100-gallon tank with neon tetras, ember tetras, Otocinclus catfish, and one Lemon Bristlenose Pleco. I added a Fluval FX2 canister filter. About a month ago, we placed several Indian almond leaves to raise the tannin and slowly lower the pH. The leaves are supposed to provide slight antibacterial and antifungal properties to protect the fish. I am applying parameters from this video and hope my fish come out of hiding, start eating, and begin to thrive. I hope it works. If not, I'll tell you how expensive fish and chips taste, and there may be a garage sale with a canister filter and a 100-gallon tank. :)

Good video! I lost 2 out of the five because of food competition. Hate losing any fish, but it happens. Good learning experiences.

Thank you!

Set the internet on fire anytime you like if this is how you cause it, because this is great advice :D

cory i totally agree and they are not picky with the water parameters and i hope you will have a merry christmas until nexttime-lammfamm

Man your video is so so true, just enjoy the hobby.

I kept and bred discus for years and I found that consistency is more important than a specific PH or hardness, etc. I always acclimated my discus to my waters parameters. At first I tried adjusting the PH to lower it but found that PH swings cause way more problems and a well acclimated fish is very healthy. I also, did not limit my movement and stuff. They start out shy and if you treat them that way they will always be shy. They will eventually learn that not every movement is something that is going to eat them and settle down well. All of my fish were calm when you were in the fishroom and walking around. Agree on the 85 degrees. Thats the best temp to keep them at.

Right on. Nice informative video. I keep wild discus and German discus in the same tank with geophagus, satanoperca, fancy pleco's, calvus and severum. I keep the temp at 84 degrees 85% of the year. In July and August, I knock it down to 80. My ph is 7.8 and i so a 50% water change once a week and feed Sera Discus Granulars and tropical wild discus Granulars, North Fin veggie and krill and I give the tank bloodworms brine shrimp and freeze dried black worms once a week. My fish thrive.
