Wild Cuipeua Discus Filtrration and Feeding

I get asked often about the filtration on this 220-gallon tank that houses a batch of wild Cuipeua Red Discus. This video explains how I approached the filtration in this tank.

God I love discus in this color. The bumble bee look with the neon blue outer portion, and red freckles is gorgeous.

[@wethepeople1909]

As beautiful as new strains are..wild caught...giggity

[@morkvomork6815]

Aquaponic system! I love it! If you lead the water through an external plant bed with stronger or daylight, it`s more effizient and you can grow some salad and vegetables.😉

[@wethepeople1909]

Love me some homegrown... 😀

Excellent video. Very informative. You are a superb fishkeeper and I'll bet you're even a better parent...

Hello Sir , Lovely Collection Could you please also tell us like how you treated them for parasites and HITH ?

[@sessionexpert]

Great healthy fish ever saw on KZbin. can you please make a KT video about how to take care with water: parameters, conditioners; food: types, times fed, products and water changes done and products used when fish gets sick of different types.

It’s called a nibble. I could imagine how much money you spent on that tank filtration. How did you clear the hole in the head?

정말 이뻐요.

감사합니다 :)

[@avinashnbhatt]

By chance Do you have an video of how to prepare the food?

[@georgetourloukis7194]

What is your flow rate on this pump?

[@jojyp]

From where do you buy these beautiful fishes?

[@escapefromthematrixnow]

What's the temperature where you live? I ask that because of your insulation needs. I live in the beach in tropical weather. Wondering if I might need to insulate much.

[@escapefromthematrixnow]

What brand is the battery-operated pump? and does it only switch on when there's a power failure?

[@waterlover]

Holy moly 84 degrees that is one hot bowl of fish soup.. gorgeous fish but too sterile of a tank for me ... enjoy your fish

[@invaderjoshua6280]

That’s the average temp of the Amazon River. 82f-86f average. 76f at lowest and around 92f at hottest. All South American fish from the Orinoco, and Amazon prefer those temps.

[@SquiddysAquaticts]

Great video but you really need to get some Corys in there to clean up. You'd need about 18 or so in that size tank ✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@bharathreddy971]

Such a beautiful video! May I know what canisters should I use for my 420 gallons (1500 litres) tank! My tank is twice as big as yours and I’m running on eheim pro 3 1200 xl (2 filters) is this enough or should I go for Fluval fx6 or which would be best for my tank!

[@chettoiroi123]

What kind of lighting do you use? Thanks you

[@Piscinarius]

It has a Finnex Planted +

[@alexe7234]

Since you have made this wrong formula , you decided to make a mess in the tank . With this '' bright '' idea , in the end of the video , you '' stole the show '', bravo !!!

[@Piscinarius]

Oh so you watched till the end! Thanks for that and thanks for all the double quotes. Also, since you use double quotes so much, this tip might come handy- the comma goes inside the double quotes. So, it should have been- “stole the show,” bravo!

[@alexe7234]

@@Piscinarius My friend , in life at list everything has double quotes , whatever you do : any movement , any actions .I'm - 61, I have some life experience . An example : when you prepared discus food - it's good , but you have missed wright amount of a gelatin . Or you cook and you forgot to add some other ingredient , a spice and it will not fit your desire ! That you understood as a tip , was look at everything at list from two positions . To look to the end of this video to me was not difficult , it was interesting , once I as well have added wrong amount of gelatin . I like your fishes as well , Where can I buy them , if I decide to keep this kind of discus ? I'm located in Montreal , Canada . Good luck and be wiser next times !!!

[@0308kasper]

Yes.

[@2711GORAN]

What kind of gelatin do you use?

[@Piscinarius]

Whatever I can buy at my grocery store. If it’s okay for humans, I bet fish can eat it, too.

You live in india . And plz give price in india this wild discus .

[@awin001]

Streamlined sparkles ??

[@Piscinarius]

yeah buddy!

[@stansamm]

Why are your heaters not in the sump? I also aerate the water in the sump. Nothing in main tank except water and fish.

[@invaderjoshua6280]

Thinking the same thing. Maybe he wants more even water temps through the whole system. Also discus like super hot water which is low in oxygen. Water may lose to much oxygen by the time it’s in the tank.

[@williamthacker4678]

Did you buy them from Wbsabby?

[@Piscinarius]

No, I bought them from Timfish Brazil.

[@williamthacker4678]

@@Piscinarius Cuipea discuss must have been caught from only Wbsabby until now because they only have been accepted the catching right in Cuipea area from authorities and the Cuipea village people. I think you need to check out the fact. I have been studying in discuss field in South Korea

[@Piscinarius]

@@williamthacker4678 when I was looking for these fish, I did reach out to WBSabby. They said that they didn’t have any stock. Timfish Brazil is run by Ting Wang who relocated from China to Brazil and runs an export facility. Maybe he also has ties with the collectors.

[@sbs7396]

Why dont you run the uvc lamp? The biggest Problem in Discus hatchery are germ. That ist also the main problem with the so called "Lochkrankheit" , as you called it hole in the head.

[@Piscinarius]

I do have a 58Watt UV Lamp in this tank. I used it when I was fighting hole in the head.

[@sbs7396]

Yes that ist because the hole in the head Problem ist coused by too much bakteria in the water. So keep the uv lamp running 24/7 there are No disadvantages exept Power consumption and plant growth.

[@paulbolton1071]

Way to much over the top and money that never needed to be spent , ive seen many discus tanks with far less equipment than this and those discus and the owners were very happy, had i not seen the discus i would have thought it was a video on marines , This is someone who obviously has more money than sense and they wonder why so many new to the hobby stay well away from keeping discus, after watching this who can blame them

[@triplumberelectro8611]

I can tell you that a mixed reef tank is way more expensive and difficult to achieve. This setup is far from over the top. I'm looking to start a 120 gallon discus aquarium. Similar to this videos setup. With kessil lights and the aquarium having low iron glass. So the discus can glow more. I'm looking to spend 4000 on the tank/equipment. And another 2000 on the discus and rummy nose tetras. A full on reef tank of the similar size would cost 15k minimum.
