RESCUING DISCUS FISH from Beautiful 180 Gallon Aquarium
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- In today's video, I go see a 180 Gallon Discus fish tank, walking through how I do maintenance and water changes, as well as rescuing one of the beautiful discus. The 180 gallon aquarium belongs to NBA assistant coach Damian Cotter, and I've been working with him over the past year to maintain his fish tank, but also to convert the aquarium into a natural aquascape and beautiful discus fish tank.
About a year ago we decided to remove the previous aquascape, which was infested with pest snails, and go with a temporary bare bottom tank with a nice piece of driftwood and pots. We're going to be adding a substrate and some live plants to the tank very soon, and it should really put this Discus tank over the top. I'm hoping the discus I rescued today will make it through treatment and rebound. It would be a beautiful addition to my own Discus aquarium if this guy makes it.

Man, it's great you guys have over 100k subs now.. the only downside is I've noticed EVERYBODY likes to tell you guys what to do now or how you should "actually" do something.. I've seen it on your plywood tank videos and some on a few others as well including this one. I've been watching since you had about 13k subs and actually realized during one of those old videos that I went to high school with Troy and Quinn. I played on the same sports team as Quinn with someone you guys probably know as my coach lol! Small world. Anyways I wanted to give you credit for not letting this new influx of the know-it-all crowd get under your skin too much lol. Great video as always guys!
I did suggest what I would do with the tanks before, but everyone is different
Great video. Valiant effort on that discus . Have never seen a "thin discus" as that make a turnaround ... so hopeful for your efforts . 👍
Thank you, fingers crossed! 🤞🏼
Wow the season finale of Shogun and possibly the season finale of the Plywood Aquarium build?!? We are so lucky! 😜
Awesome video! Thanks for all that you do!
An ornamental discus fish beautiful,vibrant, expensive,similar to severum cichlid,nice video.
very amazing video beautiful discus nice escape thnxs for sharing
Thanks for watching!
@@CichlidBros Your welcome anytime/
@@CichlidBros your welcome anytime
Try assassin snails to deal with your pest snails. They'll create a nice balance
"you may see the plywood tank" I also see that smile too! Im glad it seems to have worked out, can't wait for the update. Im still debating on if im going to build one. Im sure I will it's just a matter of when.
Discus! Yay! Love the discus tank! What internal parasite treatment did you go with?
Started with Paracleanse, but also have Expel P if that doesn't work
Great vid!!
Thanks man!
Hope the little guy pulls through along with your fish. I spy that installed glass window. Hell ya! Peace.
Pea puffers solved my snail problem.
Nice. Can't do that in this tank
Nice
Another great video bro just wandering what that reversible scraper is i wouldnt mind getting one myself
Thanks! The scraper he has is the Flipper Float Max, since his glass is thick. I use the regular Flipper Float for most of mine. Links to both below:

Can’t wait to see what’s going in the plywood tank. How did the snails get in the tank?
I know this sounds dumb but bear with me, when I was working at different pet stores around my areas what we did to get rid of pest snails is add cheap goldfish to the tanks, it was temporary and we removed them after but they’re very good snails eaters surprisingly and make a huge dent in the snail populations and are a great option because they take no interest in any other fish and are not aggressive
I don’t think goldfish would last in 84 F degrees very long …
@@CichlidBros haha that’s very true I forgot about that
A FX4 is a little small for that 180 especially with Discus i would upgrade to at least a FX6
It works fine for this tank. He also has a UV sterilizer and large wavemaker
This was an amazing video, pls keep sharing such maintain videos. Also can u share how u treat ur discus. Sorry but the discus tank looks a notch leas than your other tanks..
I have 2 Fx6 on my 180 of discus. I feel the aquarist would benefit upping the filteration
He also has a large UV sterilizer and a big wavemaker. He’s fine
Your aquariums are super beutiful. I have a 6 gallon tank with mollies and i am having trouble keeping them alive. But one of them had fry and non of them are dying so what could be the issue? Also my sister who is much more skilled at taking care of fish tanks. She used to have a salt water one. She has mentioned that she wanted a big tank (probably 75 gal) and have oscars. Im planning on getting it for her birthday because she would absolutly love it. What all would i need to get for supplies. I already picked out a stand and tank. But what type of filter, chemicals, and other things do you think i should get so she can properly run it?
What medication are you using to treat for internal parasites?
I love some good discus now im thinking should i keep heckelii or discus in 215gal tank what do ya recon if i may ask
Would be a great setup!
What is that red discus with the black bars on the sides?
Setup a tank for Datnoid fish
What you think about planted aquarium for discus?
Great idea. Mine is planted
The standard of discus here in Australia are a lot higher quality than you guys in the US but yes they are still nice fish
I’d disagree 🤷🏻♂️
I would add uv sterilizer
He has one
Where do you run your PH at?
It’s around 8.0 in the Chicago land area
We’re is the plywood tank
Update is coming soon
Golden zebra loaches does that job brilliantly
Think they’d do better than clowns? Just curious for my own tank
@CichlidBros I had an invasion of small pest snails .they kept multiplying like crazy I was loosing it. Bought 3 golden zebra loaches never seen any on glass after that.👍 .I've never had clowns tho
What med did you use?
Paracleanse to start
Wasting disease.It's incurable
That tank is asking for anubias and java fern!!!!
Haha yep!
And a background to hide all the cords!
what happened to all the other discus ?😅
I've given updates on this tank many times
@7:37... QT him right away. he's gonna be an issue. Rest are fine. I'd give him a low chance at survival, but swimming upright makes me feel like treating this soon might save him. best of luck
Yep for sure. Only took him in since my existing tank needed a round of meds for something similar and it seemed like the best option. He’s doing a bit better but isn’t eating much yet. Hoping for the best 🤞🏼
Get a loach for the snails
He has some clown loaches. Haven’t been able to keep up
Zebra loaches would have saved you a ton of time. Try it one day, you'll never use another method for snails again
Add clown loach of 5 pair they will finish it after that remove they
He has clown loaches
@@CichlidBros i also had a same problem full of pest snail in my dicsus planted tank I introduced 10 clown loaches after two weeks only shell were there and shiponed it out now tank is sooper
only 1 FX4 ???? not enough in my opinion
Plus a big UV sterilizer and wavemaker. Did you see a ton of debris or lack of water clarity? Or did ya just say that without thinking
yup
Less feeding
These discus need some care. They don't look to healthy
lol, you’re kidding right? Besides the small one, these were the healthiest discus can be
Can a red oscar tiger and albino oscar tiger breed? I have a female albino and a male red tiger, both in their own 75gal tank. I am about to get a 180gal tank and I am going to put them together.
