I would like to share an experience with you Kave 3 years ago I was deep into discus just loved keeping them and had a 100-gallon with 10 discus. Then I added a BABY GREEN AROWANA to the tank. Things were looking beautiful and the tank was completely stable for about a year. Then out of the blue Arowana started showing aggression I thought it was just a phase for him, then after 3 months, Discus used to come out only to feed and go back to hiding. This leads me to two options to give away discus or Arowana, Give my Arowana away to some store and replace it with some American cichlid, which is also not working good, and finally gave away my old discus long story short discus in a community of large fish doesn't go along for a long time, just keep an extra tank ready to move discus in.

Thank you for sharing that! I appreciate hearing the experiences of others! I am fully aware that it may not work with the arowana but I've also heard of success stories as well, keeping Arowana with Discus. I've got my fingers crossed hoping I can also have success but I'll be ready to move fish around if I have to. Thanks again for the heads up!

That’s a great transition and very excited to see you demonstrate some feedback and information about Discus fish and what are the best things we need to provide the most appropriate environment for them, kudos man.

I just caught up on your videos; your getting discus put me over the top to subscribe! I've watched your content on canister filters before, and found them very informative. But I always thought you were African Cichlids only; I totally missed your addition of South American Cichlids! I recently got discus for the first time myself, for a 90 gallon aquarium, so I want to see how your tank works out. I went with the safer combination of discus and tetras, but I love the combination you have going with discus, severum, geo's and even the arowana! Good luck with it all, and ignore the "experts" dissing on you. If you make it work, it works!

Great store, great owners, and the best employees in any fish store in NJ 💯 Ok man, I told you a long time ago you are gonna get bit by the SA bug man…South American Fish are just beautiful, I really enjoy keeping my Severums. Oscars while beauties are just not a good mix with Severums in any tank below 200 gallons, it can work and I’ve seen it work but it takes a huge tank and a very patient fish keeper as you need to be watching that tank 24/7 and it’s just a hard tank to manage, can be done tho. As for the discus….Beautiful Fish my bro! However and I’m being honest my man…pay very close attention to the PH, I’ve been keeping my Uaru Pandas in a PH of 6.5 and they are doing great. I have Low PH here where I live so it’s not so hard for me to keep sensitive fish that need a lower PH. Add some drift wood, I’d deff look into some realistic looking plants like elite cichlids used to carry, and just keep an eye on the sevs with them. All fish are not the same, and yours may do fine with the discus, and they may not…Time will tell. As I’ve said on my gram many times, my sevs aren’t so nice, but they seem to get along with my geos and just chase amongst each other. Either way good luck and I’m glad you finally made it to the Hut! They really are awesome people👌🏼

And the Discus are getting comfortable now, swimming through every inch of the tank and eating well. I've researched a ton before getting these guys and while yes they are supposed to be kept in a low PH many agree that these tank-raised Discus can and have adjusted to a higher PH close to neutral. My tap is like 7.3 7.5 around there and so far my guys are doing well in there. I've just increased the water changes to twice a week to keep nitrates as low as possible, especially in the beginning.

Things are finally stable (for now) and hopefully me having such low PH out of the tap will pay off. I actually started doing 2 water changes a week for both my tanks and everyone seems to be thriving. My Severums are growing like weeds and same for the Geos…If I can give you one tip that has really paid off for me it’s been really upping the veggie based food👌🏼 I started giving my fish the veggie granuals from Sera and brooooo….they absolutely love them!!!

🤣🤣 True story

Do you feed the same food and nutrients/supplements to your American tank that you do your African???

Where's the red pleco?

Anybody know where to buy adult Bristlenose Plecos online. Imperial Tropicals and Snake River Cichlids are all sold out cause Kev put the word out that they are workhorses and people bought’em all up lol

Hi I’m new to fish keeping and I don’t have a lot of money right now but out of no where this morning my filter woke me up with creepy rumbling noises. It does this from time to time so I’m used to usually but Today it was extremely loud and grating.I set up an old much smaller filter for the time being and come to find out it’s broken 😞. My filter has been broken for half a year now actually. This was jus the first time it wouldn’t pump at all! Now I have no idea what kind of filter to get for my fish. Their in a 20 gallon tank. Is there any quieter good filters out there that are cheap? Looked on eBay but I don’t know what to look for! I hope someone see this and can help! Thanks 😊.
