Thanks for coming out to our place. It was great to meet you and talk all things fishy.😊

[@blessedbeauty2293]

- You have such *beautiful* fish wow !! 👌🏽 ❤

[@mweatherby2968]

When I first saw Angel fish, I thought they were the most beautiful fish. Then I saw the Discus and it was a done deal. Discus are like dancers to me. The way they move, glide, turn, interact. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing your love of Discus fish.

[@audrameyer9558]

What an awesome facility! So very cool of you to be allowed to film and share it with us. Thanks a bunch!

[@blessedbeauty2293]

- Wow such beautiful fish 🐟 😍

[@stefan00123]

This is insane! You just see the passion in the eyes of the owner. Great video Nick hope you have a great day! With love from the netherlands

[@BlakesAquatics]

Love Darrens work, does a great job

[@Kaalokalawaia]

He looks so happy. The fish look so beautiful.

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

Amazing fish and what a passionate man.

[@ronlafond5288]

The very best advice there ever was . . . "Don't give up!" Never give up. Never give in. Thanks for the tour, Nick and to @southerndiscuscentre4986 as well.

[@australiagreg3179]

Stunning.

[@leafystreet]

I love the amount of variety. so sick

Amazing .So very beautiful discus!

[@KingsAquariumsAndAntWorld]

Wow! There was some absolutely stunning discus fish in this video nick! Loved every minute of it, love the filtration they run in the grow out section. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@ZaccyPfilm]

Amazing video!

[@Lexie456]

You are really starting to get good at the documentary style of videos and I am loving them, can't wait to see where you go 😄

[@MELODYMUNRO]

Just my opinion, but I think discus raised in what is pretty much a sterile environment is what is giving us weak and fragile discus. My discus pairs are in tanks with deep sand substrate, mulm, rocks, and driftwood. The tanks are also only kept at 26-27C. I have never had to worm my discus and from each batch of fry only lose maybe 1-2 early on. I have grown a number of my fry to adulthood and at no time have I had to worm or medicate them. What I have observed is the parents leading their fry around the tank to graze on the driftwood and rocks and mulm - this I believe acts to gut load the fry with bacteria that they need to stay strong and healthy. Just like us, the healthiest individuals have a good biome of gut bacteria.

[@DiscusRussell]

Try breeding 10,000 fish in your water and you would go bust in a season. I honestly think this guy knows a lot more about the subject than you will ever know

[@jonh9561]

You make a good point and one that is worthy of further discussion, this is after all how we learn and advance. Working with natural systems is often the best way to go because you are harnessing a large range of elements that have evolved over thousands of years to work together to form ecological systems. I've observed that most of the fish that have are purchased from the sterile tanks of fish suppliers, visibly improve when they are eventually released into 'scaped' tanks. It's good to question everything, experiment, learn and share ..... keep up the good work!

[@puliraja4801]

correct. but this one a hatchery. sterile environment is for breeder convenience. not for the fish. they want a constant fry production rate whereas, in natural systems the fish will decide their rate of reproduction. But, I prefer to buy wild caught ones or naturally raised ones rather than the delicate farmed ones.

[@robertramsay7842]

Great video, breeding project is your specialty 👌🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@netandjer7024]

nice set up great tour thanks!

[@couplacruszrs1834]

I met Daz when working at an aquarium wholesaler, great guy with great knowledge and insight ❤

[@firsttimereefertv1588]

Been hanging for this video!!

[@moonbear897]

what an interesting video. thankyou!

[@australianbiotopes4563]

Great video nick! this brought back some memories for me, I used to breed these 30 years ago, it was the first fish I actually took the time to really get into breeding after visiting a relative in Europe that was breeding wild discus I had to come back to Australia and give it a go, I have to say I had fun with them.

[@michaelmitchell5909]

That was freaking incredible

[@ESF19791111]

INTERESTING :) THANK YOU FOR SHARING :) THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)

[@matman429]

Amazing

[@HarlanFord]

Love this!

[@grantbrotan1416]

Some of the craziest colors I've seen in a discus. Some I've never even seen here in the states.

[@sevcents]

Magical fish

[@landlord6380]

Amazing that's not simple

[@Kashikars]

Your videos are awesome. I am subscribed to your channel since long time. You give very nice and precise information. The info you giv is very useful. Thanks and keep making such awesome videos. I also hv 6 discus in my tank since last 2 years. Keeping aquarium since last 20 years or more

[@123genki]

Whenever I see content on Discus breeding, I come more to the realisation that mine are stunted. My community tank raised fry are well over 3 months old and they aren't anywhere near the size of those 3-month olds he showed.

[@GoncaloMaEiras]

Discus need to be feed 5 times a day and need to be vacuumed at least every other day. Growing out a discus is hard but people insist in getting them small because they are cheaper; its always best to get them close to adulthood where they dont require not even half the work

[@lemonlizard1]

I've bred cories a couple times in the past, and had the same issue. Luckily, it's unlikely they're stunted, just smaller than the farmed ones. There are two possible reasons as to why your discus are smaller than farmed discus. The first one is the fact that farmed discus are fed A LOT. I mean 5-10+ times a day, often live bbs or extremely high quality food. The other reason is the extreme cleanliness of water. Water that isn't changed often enough can cause stunted growth. The far majority of farms keep an auto water change system that is doing a 100% water change multiple times a day. This just isn't something the average hobbyist can keep up with, which is why farmed fish usually grow much faster than home bred fish.

[@gunnerneikoify]

It's all about feeding the crap out of them when they're young. Like the guy said, he feeds his SIX times a day!!

[@vasili1207]

@@GoncaloMaEirasno they dont , so much bad advice in one comment 5 times a day you crazy ...... i bet your a feeder and your partner is wide as they are tall

[@kylepawelczyk163]

You need to feed heavy high protein foods and these farms are doing 80% water changes at least every other day. If discus don’t have extremely low nitrates and heavy feedings they will stunt, guaranteed.

[@eionmark7424]

Nice

[@ardifowensullivan9536]

Discus beautifull❤❤

[@lisamcgill664]

Beautiful

BTW - I’m in the US….love your accents😁

[@IsaacDS123]

The dough dry food mix blew my mind, i tried it yesterday, made way too much but damn its magic especially in a planted tank where half of it just dissapears

[@omkarwanganekar8017]

5:26 wow

[@d_reeves1133]

my man revealed his ausie accent

[@NatureDerek]

how are you raising them without their parents? i thought discus had to feed off the special glands on their parents for like two weeks

[@paragdarawade6875]

Hi... Very nice vedio. How come discus size so huge? Any secrete? 😊

[@omkarwanganekar8017]

1:34 wow

[@saltybulldog3241]

where can we get these fish?

[@1Kent]

They're beautiful, but too expensive and fussy for me.

[@hnim2292]

not related to the video but can I ask if I breed two balloon rams, will I get more balloon rams or both normal and balloon rams?

[@bluepawn]

Most beautiful fish, but very difficult to breed. I would prefer guppies... they are awesome as well, very easy to maintain and the colors and the design of the fish are awesome !! they are just amazing with all their colors...

[@TheTaipan]

I'm sure many give up. Especially when the wholesalers/distributors actively discourage new start-ups and online businesses.

[@omkarwanganekar8017]

Wow

[@vasili1207]

love to have discus but you need a decent group and they get big like a dinner plate, only have a 300litre tank

[@aayushsugesh9928]

Anyone know how to make that sticky food? Any link?

[@viasevenvai]

epic. beautiful. maybe hire another employee.

[@LadeanaWhite]

Thank you both for a lovely discus tour and fishy speak. Some day….discus have always been on my fishy bucket list. I’ve been fish keeping off and on since the late 60’s, of course starting out with guppies. Now retired and more time for getting back into the hobby. Currently have 4 tanks, from 2.5 to biggest-55 gal. I’m sure there’s room for a discus tank in my future❤☮🐠🦐🪴

[@SOKINATA]

Do they ship to uk?

[@mikekondek507]

Hi is the breeder from uk? Anyone know name of company??

[@jasonbalmaceda6579]

he reminds me of the shyandawkward guy comedian

[@christine8995]

Hi, KeepingFishSimple. What type of betta (plakat, long fin, veil tail) do you think would be happiest in a 23 litre (6 gallon) tank? Dimensions: 30cm in length, 22cm in depth, 41cm in height. I know a tall tank isn't ideal :( but my parents bought it for me as a gift and couln't return it. Can my fish still thrive?

[@RGunzz]

A nice aquascape with Plakat and some cherry shrimps

[@BadlydrawnBen]

Only criticism i wish that video had been a lot longer

[@jay-remedy-plz]

It’s great to see Discus with the proper Discus shape. It’s a shame when color becomes more important than keeping the proper Discus shape which made these fish popular O O O

[@Lotofrot]

Wow, in Asia, people prefer the "high body" more than those in your video, i pretty sure once you own the high body discus, you will never look at normal discus form like the same anymore.

[@TadekWaleczny]

Witam. Proszę o przepis dokładny tego pokarmu co dokleja się do szyby. Pozdrawiam

[@delarue3198]

Noice

[@dellseasandoval8187]

Does anyone know how big do baby guppies have to be before I can put them with the adult guppies aside from the general statement that anything that can fit in any fishes mouth is fair game. I was hoping to find out if wake up you should be like a quarter inch or half inch because I seriously doubt that needs to be like a whole 1 inch because surely a quarter inch or half inch is enough for them to grow out and be put with the adult puppies, because I don’t want my babies to get eaten.
