[@mikefinley4367]

Gabe, adds what someone else would lack. Always enjoyable, he educated and is pretty direct.

[@mellewedin8221]

Seriously his love for his fish makes me feel better about how these fish are bred and raised. He actually loves each one. We need more HOBBYISTS like him💓💓

[@WildFishTanks]

Agreed, seeing the fish is always cool but meeting the people behind it all is what does it for me every time

[@shopaquariumfish]

I'm JJ. Those were my scapes at Wattleys shop.

[@brightstar0815]

Gabe, I have so much respect for you sir. You have so much experience and knowledge and the best is: you SHARE it! Thank you so much. Please consider writing a book. I am sure it would be the standard reference book for keeping discus for generations!

[@davidlambert6171]

Guy after my heart! Moved to Miami house no furniture but with 125 galloon tank!

[@Djprasad1000]

Beautiful sir hope ones I visit you and get more knowledge about these beautiful souls

[@madfishdiva]

Man!!! This is amazing. What a score Ryan. This guy is a wealth of knowledge and you can hear the passion in his voice for what he does and that is so important. This facility is off the chain. Discus will be my retirement fish. When I have my party I’m asking for cash to buy these fish. Lol Awesome awesome video!

[@WildFishTanks]

Every time I do a tour Char I’m so excited for the fish but end up so happy that the people involved are so passionate. Makes it that much better that there are good people behind the operation. I like your plan! I bet you could have success at breeding them if you wanted also.

[@jaysaquatics7195]

loving your video's there so educational

[@AquaAvery]

BEST DISCUS VIDEO EVER!

[@WildFishTanks]

That’s a bold statement Cotton

[@Spongerob0]

Love this video! Gabe is doing a wonderful job of continuing Jack's work.

[@WildFishTanks]

Thanks for checking it out, I agree he is

[@mattramsay2491]

1800 gallons of RO water is a lot to produce for the breeding pairs tanks. Wonder the frequency and % water changes are? Great video for both content and production!

[@carlosdemelo7819]

gabe got the best discus in the world thanks gabe!

[@WildFishTanks]

Gabe is the man! Thank you for checking out the video

[@mattdechalk7619]

What a cool story Jack set that man's future up great job on the vid one day I want to try discus 👍

[@WildFishTanks]

Definitely, I think he saw something in Gabe. Me too! Always thought they were pretty but kind of shied away from wanting to keep them...going there change my mind

[@MrEd-qg8td]

They are not that hard really and tougher than you think. About 30 years ago I bought 6 babies and raised them. I lost 2 along the way but the other 4 grew up to adult hood and started breeding. I was so surprised and so happy. I kept getting more babies than I could deal with. So i would start selling them back to the fish shop I got them from. And made a little bit of money off of them. So give it a try. Start with a Panda they are not to pricey and quite prettty. I would like to do it again but I am getting old! LOL The Discus were Red Royal Blues. And this all took place in Japan when I was stationed there. I am retired USAF 20 years.

[@lalitgaikwad5531]

Sir very nice to see how u grow discus along with you . Sir my problem is one of my discus is not taking food from past 15 to 20 days . But it looks normal n swims healthy all around the tank . I have tried all the medicines including deworming but no changes . What should i do now ?

[@TMAquatics]

Ryan, this was an awesome video. A great inside view on one of the most respected names and providers of discus in the world. Even though I kept discus for years and consider myself “experienced”, I still learned a lot from this guy. 👍

[@WildFishTanks]

To a novice fish keeper like me, especially when it comes to discus, I wasn’t sure how much of it was me just knowing nothing haha. Glad to hear his expertise holds up. I really enjoyed the fish, the setup and hanging out with Gabe himself. I know at one point they were your main focus, pretty sure now it’s a matter of when and not if I’ll be keeping some discus.

[@MRLMA001]

Hi Gabe, if you are running the 78 tanks on a wet/dry filter, how do you remove debris from your breeding tanks ? The bottom of your tanks look very clean :)) Do you siphon manually the 78 tanks ? Your Discus are amazing, thanks for sharing.

[@alistairyoung7491]

What a nice guy great video 👍🏼

[@WildFishTanks]

Thanks for checking it out

[@maxl5112]

Holaaa, un saludo e podido ver los vídeos que a hecho en español , lástima que no tenga más porque considero que es un gusto poder verlo, ojalá se anime a hacer más en español ,para los que no entendemos el idioma ,un saludo y muchas gracias por ayudarnos a los que como yo amamos los peces, sobre todo los discos, jajajajaja. Una preguntita cuando los padres no quieren criar a los alevines hay alguna manera de sacarlos adelante, y que comida podría hacerse , gracias desde España

[@MrScienceGeek]

Sharing the video I really enjoyed it. Especially hearing his story

[@ashokprajapati1348]

Sir I have been facing some problem regarding breeding discus. When egg change to wiggler I am not being to able to save them to free swimer. What should I do and how to take care during wiggler stage and how to change water during wiggler stage...

[@chriseverett1142]

Hi gave could you tell me the best way to fatten small discus up.

[@shelleydaly1726]

Awesome, I had to laugh at the discus photobomb during filming 😂😂

[@WildFishTanks]

They have a tendency to do that lol

[@leoncoleman2221]

i brought a 75 gal aquarium and i didn't know what fish i was going to put in it but after looking at your videos i'm liking Discus fish more and more so after looking at one of your videos you where saying one fish per ten gal so maybe i can get away with 7 to 8 fish so what would i need to do to start setting up my tank i want drift wood white sand bottom and some plant thanks again

[@bryanhealy17]

GREAT video! Makes me want to go out and get some discus from him. Thanks

[@WildFishTanks]

Glad you enjoyed it Bryan!

[@AquaApprentice]

Reallly great video. good sound which is not easy to achieve in a facility and good job filming the tanks and not having to much refelction. Hats off brotha, cya tomorrow.

[@WildFishTanks]

Thanks man, glare was definitely a challenge. The sound too, used some hum reduction but still learning. See you tomorrow!!

[@reelbocafishing5904]

Hey great vid are they open to the public

[@guillermorodriguez7899]

Yo acabo de comprar tres peses discos en su tienda i e quedado super satisfecho los peses tienen una salud fantástica i unos colores únicos me encantaría tener una pareja de discos adultas pero mi economía no me lo permite no doy un aficionado a reproducir los peses con el propósito de venderlos sino que me gusta mucho ver el comportamiento desa espesie en particular i la forma en se reproduce la misma , debe ser una esperiensa única verlos en el momento en que se están reproduciendo

[@raditcanete4431]

Nice

[@kevinlundin4013]

Where is your west palm hatchery located? I would like to go!

[@ShotofJameson]

[@Jiban_Jiban_7]

[@user-bw5xf3yr3m]

This guy is cool

[@MrDank132]

He gives a lot of good info on keeping Discus starting at 12:52 … Was he talking about 20% water change every day? Didn't hear him say how often

[@WildFishTanks]

I believe he meant weekly not daily. You’re right, I don’t think he mentions it on camera but I do remember him saying it to me.

[@MrDank132]

@@WildFishTanks Sweet thanks!

[@johnlogan1022]

I lived in Miami for two years in the early 2000s and I bought discus from your facility. Absolutely gorgeous fish and extremely helpful customer service. When do you plan on getting more altums in stock? Thanks!

[@WildFishTanks]

They’ve got a ton of angelfish right now, this video was taken last week. You can reach out to them on their website or call them

[@DrivingDynamix]

So, mr. Gabe who will take your position in future ?

[@davidfelts1138]

Me🙂

[@woodensurfer]

Back in the 1980s a strain of discus called Schmidt-fox 5 (or Schmidt Foche-5, I remember by sound only) was quite sought after. Can any old-time discus keeper tell me what happened to this strain? Is there an equivalent strain now? This strain had brilliant blue wavy lines on an olive brown background, not a solid color fish.

[@vichu2160]

Exactly on time video ,when i'm trying to get ica red heckel!!!

[@WildFishTanks]

Nice! Hope you get one soon!

[@yungstahotmail]

I have a discus pair about 2yrs old . They started spawning recently and are eating out their fry . What to do ?

[@blkicemike4857]

Daaauum!!! Those are impressive! The Angels & Discus both appear to have nice strains. My fav was probably @8:28-8:34 time stamp... I've only seen them once in Germany,.. well until now. So do you sell to public or private business only? Outstanding job btw! Located in S.Florida? How often are tour done if any or only by special occasion? I'm so glad i clicked on this, i mean what are the odds,rite? ;)

[@boonencrocket3541]
