THE 90 GALLON DISCUS TANK IS COMPLETE! (Adding new fish and plants!)

Buying the perfect discus and discus tank mates for my 90 gallon aquarium. I picked up the beautiful new discus from Chicago Discus, where I had done a behind the scenes tour video a few weeks back. The new discus are incredible and doing well. I also added the rummynose tetras to the tank after they were in quarantine about 8 weeks. In today's video, I added corydoras as well, completing the overall setup of this 90 gallon aquarium.

How nice of the cats to help you unbox things

[@CichlidBros]

Haha always!

[@usmc72409]

Yes! Love this!

[@FathomAquatics]

This room cleaning was what most people don't show. Awesome job. Great space and I love the way the tank is set up.

[@ruthwalker5179]

I agree! Keeping my fish room clean makes me happy. I’m working on decluttering every week… (Do you need anything ha ha!)

[@FathomAquatics]

@@ruthwalker5179 exactly! I have a little shelf next to my big tank where I have all kinds of supplies and food and stuff and two weeks in a row I caught myself decluttering it. I need to start putting together little kits to give out of old equipment for someone else to use

[@onlywei]

Not gonna lie, the segment where you organized that big mess was the most inspirational part of the video. So many channels try to give aquascaping inspiration, but what I really need right now is fish room mess organizing inspiration! Haha

[@sheilabruin-blake9507]

Beautiful thanks for sharing the completed tank🤍

[@sajangole2029]

Loveeeee the tankkkk❤️❤️💕💕

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks!

[@jeremymoore450]

Troy, This looks fantastic. I am glad you got your Cory cat's. I love the discus and the rummy nose tetras and how they are schooling together and give the aquarium activity. Cory cats are busy beavers and are fun to watch. Appreciate the video. 🙂

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you, appreciate it!

[@PriceTagAquariums]

Everything looks great! Nice to see from start to finish. Thanks for the upload!

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks for watching!

[@tjautocross]

Wow!!! Just when I think you can’t make your tanks look any better, you say “hold my beer”. Thanks for sharing, Troy.

Thank you!

[@paulone65]

Love the tank and the cats

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks!

[@carlwagers9829]

Amazing! I feel like this was a members only video or something 😂

[@reggie2803]

After organizing, I was thinking that’s enough space for a new aquarium and then you said it 😆.

[@martyborst5645]

Thankyou for giving a peek at your Discus tank. Discus are my favorite fish that I keep. I also have a 90 gallon.

[@CichlidBros]

That's awesome, thanks for watching!

[@shawtyshort2648]

Holy Moly is right lol great job looking good!

[@kashifkashu7899]

The tank looks so pleasant...it will be a show stopper once the plants are grown to full length...One more tank coming up...😮the news i was waiting for...Lets go brother😊🎉🎉🎉

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you, looking forward to it!

[@donhabel1590]

Looks fantastic great job

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you!

[@jeanettePR406]

You have a good spot there for a huge tank lol ❤❤❤

[@ginadelgado5518]

Wow beautiful 😮

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks!

[@juliaheinritz3264]

Nice job of your clean up:) My first thought was 'more room for another tank..lol' Videos are always better with your kitties😊

[@sheilabruin-blake9507]

You clean up really good

[@CichlidBros]

Haha, I should’ve used that quote from anchorman!

[@user-re5di4hq8z]

Absolutely amazing ❤❤❤

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you!

[@user-re5di4hq8z]

That tank is amazing. Is that a normal 90 gallon. What are the dimensions? I'm trying to decide on that or a 125g

[@makiarn777]

Beautiful! You ain’t fooling nobody…we all know there’s a few new tanks in the near future!😂

[@CichlidBros]

Haha yep! Always up to something lol

[@brandonellis4422]

Looking forward to hearing about the future plans!

[@razinfishes1918]

Hey Troy I'll help you tidy up by having you send me your extra sump haha. As usual another great video

[@matthelm3795]

Looking great! I've always had great luck with all the aquarium co op plants I have got. The dwarf sag I have started spreading really fast

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks, and awesome! Hoping I have the same luck

[@yashtapase3821]

Wow the petite looks so nice 😍 And Corys are absolutely fun to watch ❤

[@RyanDahn]

Don’t give up on the Rams! Adding 2 or 3 German blues would add an underrated pop of color to that tank!

[@CichlidBros]

I may someday

[@jerryhigg]

Beautiful Aquarium maybe my new favorite. Great job on the tank and cleaning up the space Troy! ❤ 👍 🐟

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you!

[@edraffile6505]

Great looking tank. It's going to outstanding when the plants grow in. I always wondered how to add substrate to an existing tank. Now I know I can just pour some in a ittle at a time.

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you, glad it was helpful!

[@ruthwalker5179]

Your tank looks great! Way to go and thanks for sharing the journey. I like the warm color of the substrate and will likely use it in my next project.

[@CichlidBros]

Thank you! And I’d recommend that!

[@norbertthoens3561]

Da hast du ja noch genug Platz für weitere Aquarien! 😂

[@CichlidBros]

Yep!

[@fishyabish9557]

Tip for next time add the plants and sand when u drop the water level for water change and u won't have to hold your sleeve up lol

[@fishyabish9557]

Oh yea can we also get some updates on your borthers tanks

[@airjaff]

You should have got a few stem plants and a few floating plants. Water changes would have been a thing of the past

[@usmc72409]

Space for mbunas! 🙏

[@pinedita08]

I think u could get like another 6 Cory's they would behave much better, and u have plenty of space, and they do not add too much bioload to the tank

[@CichlidBros]

I've thought about that! May add a few more plants and corys

[@martyborst5645]

I subscribed to your channel.

[@CichlidBros]

Welcome, and thank you!!

[@WhiteCloud746]

FYI, those AQC gel cap-style root tabs often float up through sand. I personally find that the Seachem Flourish root tabs are easier to keep under the sand, especially if you have catfish digging in sand. Anyway, I hope it works out well for you.

[@beat_2008]

The previous owner of my 72 bow front used to keep discus fishes

[@kevinullery8749]

It funny how you think when you have MTS. I have one spot left for a big tank. Thinking a 90 gallon.

[@martyborst5645]

Hi there again. I like the your aquascaping of the 90 gallon discus tank. I am running into something challenging. I have a 90 gallon tank that has been running 4 1/2 month with 4 small Cory’s & a medium Angel fish. It’s time to add my discus. Is there a way of adding more sand without it swirling around my tank & getting in my canister & a Tidal 110 h.o.b? Thanks for your time. Sincerely, Marty B

[@CichlidBros]

I would use a cup to add it in gradually. And possibly do a small water change with the filters off while you add it in

[@jeffrotenheber2681]

Looks great! What did you use to attach the Anubis’s to your drift wood?

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks! I just squeezed them in between the driftwood and rocks

[@uzbekistan9816]

👍👍👍👍

[@brandonodle7817]

I really want to upgrade my 55g to a 90, but they are so hard to find and so much more expensive than the standard 75g

[@CichlidBros]

Agreed! I got this one on Facebook marketplace

[@brandonodle7817]

@@CichlidBros I got lucky I was able to find a group of 6 juvenile red head tapajos at my LFS. I’ve been enjoying them as small babies. Definitely need an upgrade real quick though

[@CichlidBros]

@@brandonodle7817 awesome

[@videogazer801]

Are the plants just for decoration? I’m wondering if there are any benefits to adding plants, like maybe so the Discus can eat them.

[@jamesanderson4541]

question for you I am setting up a 75 gallon south american chiclid tank my stocking list is 2 electric blue acara, 3 geophagus tapajos, 2 angels and a school of buenos aires will that quantity and type of fish work

[@CichlidBros]

Sounds like a great stocking to me!

[@sebastianflores848]

Did you rinse the sand before adding it ? I’m thinking of adding more sand to my angelfish tank

[@CichlidBros]

I didn’t for this type. Usually Carib sea is pretty clean

[@robertegan7080]

Now u have more room for another tank lol

[@stephenguldenschuh118]

How are you just going to glaze over the live rock? There’s only one reason you got that!

[@bestdadeverMTJ]

What temperature do you run this tank at?

[@CichlidBros]

82 F

[@michaelhamann156]

Where are your brothers? Have they suddenly gotten shy?

[@CichlidBros]

They’ve been busy with the end of the school year/track season

[@dalekopp3309]

How are your discus from Chicago Discus? Any problems or losses?

[@CichlidBros]

They’re all good so far. Doing well

[@martyborst5645]

Thanks!
