[@surfinjb]

This is all past down from the man himself. Back in the 80s my grandpa took me as a 10yr old to Jack Wattley’s house in South FL. I had his book and he was a god to me, he autographed my book, took me around his fish room while telling stories of his Amazonian adventures and gave me a couple freebies on top of what I took home. The man, the legend

[@recoilrob324]

I've never had fish but really enjoy learning from someone knowledgeable and passionate about what they're doing. All the different creatures that inhabit our planet are just a marvel and breathtakingly beautiful.

What a fantastic facility! The Discus look GREAT!! Jack Wattley's DIscus are of great quality, much like the man himself. I had the pleasure of meeting Jack Wattley on three separate occasions and he was one of the classiest Gentlemen I had ever met.Thanks for sharing, Cory.

[@andystokes8702]

This guy has been working with discus for well over 20 years, not as a hobbyist but in a professional capacity. He has probably forgotten more about discus than most of us will ever know. I was amazed at what he said about doing only 20% water changes once a week. This flies in the face of the advice given by most 'experts', the video I watched before this was advocating 90% water changes every day. I'm sure for a lot of potential owners (me included) this is the one thing that would put them off starting.

[@JackWattleyDiscus]

Agreed and that's why I decided to make the videos. The hobby will never grow if we make it impossible with erroneous information which will chase potential hobbyists away.

Hello Gabe, fantastic tour. Thanks for doing this for us. I respect your no-nonsense talk, and depth of information. Also, thanks Cory for doing these tours. Much appreciated.

[@HernanVillarroel]

I am Venezuelan and what this man says is completely true, I have more than 2 years wanting to return to this beautiful hobby (I realized that I miss it) a week ago I went through one of the largest stores in Caracas and what I gave is shame, I had almost nothing, I wanted to cry, and the good breeding grounds that exist are hidden, to avoid being assaulted :(

[@umbertotucci1970]

I had the big pleasure to meet Jack Wattley in New York early 90s in a Discus Study Group international meeting and then again in Singapore Aquarama in 1993...I think. I used to breed his giant Blue discus (blue diamond) so I was looking forward to meet and talk away with Jack and this is what happened in both occasions. Smidth-Focke and Wattley were the only top discus breeders in all planet earth...way before all Malaysia Thailand and Hong Kong breeders pop out... Great man Jack, very gentle and very polite, always ready for an advice. Keep it up dude...

When I was young I got my discus to 9+" range in a 90 gal, 3 of them a Cobalt, Marlboro, turquoise. I did daily 25% water changes for their entire lives and fed them a mix of New life spectrum, tetra color granules, and a frozen beefheart mix I made with peas, garlic and vitamins. Loved my buddies, the Cobalt and turquoise spawned a few times but I never saw any fry. Havnt done discus since, RIP guys
