Soft soft water, basically straight RO water. Mine were breeding in a PH:5.5 GH:3 KH:0
@@jmommy991 Angelfish will breed in a toilet. Literally they are not that hard to breed.
What rock did you use in the tank with the dark substrate and does it change the water parameters? Beautiful setups.
@@debbiebridges6350 Seiryu Stones Natural Rocks very ph friendly!
Need a lid for a betta.
@@debbiebridges6350 yes!
I’m enjoying learning more about discus and have watched several of your videos this evening . I saw you had a give away for $200 and $50 for a Visa card and I commented on another video , subscribed and liked your channel . I wasn’t sure you would see it as it was the video on your loss of the fish and tank. What an awful situation, I’m very sorry . I wanted to ask here about the giveaway as it was a more recent video. I’m seriously considering getting discus , so I’m trying to learn as much as I can. You’re very informative and easy to listen to .
Really enjoying your videos . Still considering whether I should get discus or not .
I would like to enter into your giveaway for $200 or the $50 visa gift card . I’m a new subscriber and just found your channel this evening . You sound like a very patient and kind man especially considering all that happened .
I’m so sorry , so very sad .
Thanks! Great video.
Looking good George. Thanks
Thank you for the update and Breeding tank setup guide

Where does it leak.?
@@the_DOS where the heater chamber is.
@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto nice to know, thanks. I just got a thermo 350. Maybe it would make sense to replace that seal every 1 to 2 years as regular maintenance for us
Thanks!
Thank you!
I successfully raised 6 2inch discus to full size feeding this along with tetra colour (and other) and they grew so fast!! plus water quality remained so good!!
Hey mate, have enjoyed the last video and this video so have suscribed :)
@@horsingwithhugo thank you!
Thank you for the update. Good luck with your breeding program.
Thank you for the update. Glad to hear this male Discus is looking better. Thanks for the tips when moving Breeding pairs.

the wilds are not pure wild, but more wild color form (also bred) Real wilds look different
API General Cure and API Erythromycin completely skipped over and those, with Ick-X are the only three (3) you need, period.
Excellent Video!
Does anyone recommend putting the long fin S. Tetra w Betta's?
@@michaelvenuti6560 I would not. The more flash and longer finned the tank mates are the chances for tank harmony go down. You can try any?
Great video! Can you share more information on where to buy the corrugated plastic? I tried office Max they didn’t have it.Thank you!
@@paulscott5554 Office Depot Is where I purchased mine. You may also find it online.
Nice setup. I look forward to updates on the spawn and watching these fish care for the young.

Always good to see fish pairing up and having eggs it shows that your conditions are good
Really it's amazing facts
Does anyone know the name of the fish in the video with the yellow bottom and black stripes across the top? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
ugh. I just had a mother discus mate with her son.. so weird. A day later, all the eggs were gone. Just as well though, as it was not setup as a spawning tank and they spawned on the heater outer plastic cover.
@@bradb3245 I would separate them if you have room?
Love your fish the shorts are very relaxing I am going to worm my Discus with Metronidazole what is the dose when soaking the food in it your advice would be much appreciated
kzread.info/dash/bejne/gmh4o6typcuvcqw.html This should help!
Nice BD! Any videos with measurements? 😅
Love watching your videos very relaxing tones and some gorgeous Discus that's also the reason i keep them spend time with these buitiful fish and it clenses your mind
@@markbaumgardt2868 Amen!
Hi there, good video and definitely agree on most points, however I have a question. So I have a proven discus pair, and have had multiple batches of babies. Yet for them to be successful every time I have used RO water to be at a TDS of around 75-100. As if I were to use my tapwater (which is high ph and hard) the eggs would every time calcify. So what would you recommend for me? Thanks!
@@jtkeepingfish I don’t understand the question? Can you be more specific about water, hardness, and pH?
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto so my tapwater ph is around 8 - 8,5 which is rather high. And water hardness also high, not sure on what the number is exactly. And so they will breed for me in tapwater however my eggs would calcify each time, and not because they weren’t fertilised. Because I know my male is fertile. So that’s why I use the RO water to mix with the tap water to make the TDS around 75-100. So basically asking what you think of that and or if you have had experience with breeding discus on tapwater that has high ph and hardness etc.
@@jtkeepingfish your water parameters are almost exactly the same as mine. My suggestion is you don’t chase water parameters and your water hardness. There’s nothing you can do except for go with RO. I have seen water parameters worse than yours and they were still able to breed discus fish. What I would suggest obviously is an empty tank void of any rock wood anything except for a ceramic slate. If your water hardness is where it’s at and you’re getting calcification on what you believe, are fertile eggs, then you need to figure out a way to soften that water and I don’t know a way in which you can do that without going with RO
its hard to get discus to breed if you dont have a PH of 5,.8 to 7.0 and 7.0 is pushing it they just wont be stimulated enough. not saying it wont happen but if u want ur discus to breed for sure you need to ;;get ur water soft and acidic also you should def.do water changes often if u dont use a sump my sump tanks I can let go a little longer but u should always do water changes especially if u want healthy fish. I use seachem discus buffer which will work 100% of the time you dont have to do all this stuff he is saying either if the water is right they will do what they do in the wild without white sides on the tanks not saying he is wrong because it works to but ur water condition is the most important part everytime my discus breed I end up with 100 to 200 babies to sell. yes they can be successful with everything he is sayig but if ur not producing 100 plus babies everytime ur doing things wrong. I also only leave one of the parents in the tank with the babies it keeps from them fighting and also spawing again because the babies need lots of food and the water needs to be changed everyday dont care what anyone says it has to happen for healthy spawn! a lot of times the parents wont even eat for the first 2 weeks very little if so. not putting plastic in my tanks at all either!
@@aaronrobert7196 I have 5 Mating pair of Discus. All Have Produced 75-120 Fry that have grown into adults. Water conditions are Important as far as water being Clean, but you do not have to chase Ph etc. stability is the most Important factor. As far as My using White Corrugated Plastic inserts it is something that works for me. It is easy to clean by removing for a few minutes and does not require you to paint your tank. I know large scale Discus breeding operations that all use a white out technique of some kind so the young can find the parents. Daily Water changes are your best friend if you have a very efficient system in place that does not stress the parents or fry. I agree with most of what you say, but my way is proven as well. By the way my Ph in all my tanks is just over 8.5.
I found this video the day after adding 6 rummy's and 3 clown kili's to my 30g that's been cycling with 10-12 plants and around 10 crystal red shrimp for about 3 weeks... So far so good. Hopefully I didn't stress the little guys too much. PH 6.6, but the hardness is fairly high... around 350 EC on my meter. I just got a RO/DI filter last week, so the hardness should be coming down. Wish me luck!
@@longbizzle77 you should be fine!
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto Glad to hear it! I'd be disappointed if I had hurt the little guys because I didn't know more when I bought them. So far they seem to be adjusting to the new tank ok. Subbed!
Hey, what's that yellow tailed cichlid called?
Any ideas on how to get a mating pair to stop eating their Fry. I have gotten to the wigger stage 5-6 times with one of my pairs. They always eat the fry?
Very well done as always. How big are your Grow Out Tanks?
I bred a similar looking pair a few years ago. The red color was dominate and should make for some gorgeous Discus Babies. Thank you fr taking your time and giving such amazing details. I trust your your process and the proof is in your success. Thanks Bro.
Great video and you are so right on about making sure your pairs are solid before moving them to a breeder tank. Thank you as always. I am looking forward to the rest of this series. By the way the guy who said "you go into to much details" Pay no attention he is likely Gas lighting you. I love your videos. I notice he took that down. Keep up the great work. If it were not for you I would have quit this hobby a few years ago. Thanks
Great video! I just started a small breeding program in my fish room-nothing like yours, however. I'm looking forward to learning more.
Fantastic video. I am excited about the next two parts. I like the Rigged Plastic Board idea to make the tank lighter. It's pretty smart. Thank you, as always.

Are you still offering one on one services? I have a few issues that I need to get worked out. Let me know. Thanks.
George, can I put 5 small Discus in a 10 gallon tank? Would this help them grow or is the tank too small?
20 Gallon Minimum. I have had 2 very young Discus in a 0 to get them to grow., but not 5
Hi whats the medicines name? Thank you for this great video
@@sopbape8120 flubendazole
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto how should I dose it? And can it be dangerous for my discus? Does it work for gill fluke and stuff? How much water should I change after using it, and is potassium permanganate also a good or do you not recommend it
@@sopbape8120 it would be a last resort for me with young Discus Fish . What is the main issue and what have you tried?
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto hi I'm just a starting discus breeding hobbyist I'm not really doing this to sell and I've only ever reached the wiggler stage and just want to get information about keeping them safe. But I would like these guys to survive and grow them out, that's why I'm just asking because I've seen videos of people using potassium permanganate to treat their fish, right now I've gotten a batch to the wiggler stage which is pretty exciting but would like to know what to do in terms of medicine to avoid that 30 days syndrome
@@sopbape8120 As I said Flubendazole has worked for me. You have to be careful with any medication when it comes to young Discus Fish. The first most important thing to keep your young Discus fry from getting sick is making sure everything you use is kept extremely clean. That means using nothing but hot water no detergents cleaners of any kind but extremely hot water to make sure that everything is sanitized. When it comes to the medications, use them sparingly and make sure that you are giving a dose that is not lethal to these fry. Flubendazole is much safer than potassium Permanganate. You must be an extremely experienced discus breeder to use that medication. If you do one thing wrong, you will wipe out your whole tank, including the parents. That is a drug you can buy from Gabe Posada at Wattley Discus but he will tell you that if you don’t know what you’re doing to stay away from trying to use it. I have had several spawns of discus fry that I have never used any medication on because I kept things so sanitary. This may be something you try. Medication’s are always risky. I have given you the name of the drug that I have used and if you want to try it, I would make sure that you were extremely careful on how you administer. If you go to Wattley Discus Miami, Florida, look at their medication sheets they will give you some ideas on how to use these medications. I don’t like to push medication‘s on anyone who is trying to breed discus, there are just too many risk and I do not want to be held responsible for you making a bad decision or giving a dose that is not correct so what I would tell you is that I would get a little more perspective from someone who has a better sense of how to administer And that would be Gabe Posada. Gabe will technically answer the phone if you look him up on the Internet that number goes directly to him just tell him George Wheeler sent you from aquatic concepts and he will give you any information you need on that 30 day syndrome that you are so concerned aboutagain, I don’t recommend any drugs but if you think you have to investigate it more before you make that move I hope this was helpful. Also I do offer my personal assistance for a small fee that we can discuss. This gives you up to 10- 15 minute sessions with me. Call me now at 800-566-2647. I am available this afternoon.
Thank you for this video. I went back to it for a refresher course. There were some things that I have fallen out of habit.
