  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ม.ค. 2019
  • I got to sit down with Dean The Master Breeder and talk about how he collected these beautiful discus and his plans moving forward with them. They've come a long way and they are in no better hands than Dean, himself. How does he keep them? What does he feed them?
    Huge thanks to Dean & Aquarium Coop for their collecting footage.

    Love it when you and Dean get together and make videos, always great and the knowledge Dean has on breeding is amazing. Wild Discus are so much nicer to look at than ones in hobby by a million miles

    I'm here in Northeast, Brazil.
    Once in awhile my friend and I go out Collecting fish. We find more fish in the city than in the interior of Brazil. My buddy says that it's because of the food that gets dumps in. I've found fish in hoof prints, amazing how they can survive in water too hot to step in! I need surgery in February and then I'll see if I can find some Discuss.
    Great video!

    Those Discus look beautiful. I like Deans fish room. I had seen couple of videos shot in his fish room. He designed the whole fish room keeping in mind easy maintenance of fish tanks. All his fish and fish tanks are healthy and crystal clear. I guess he even wipes down the backside of the fish tank. He is awesome guy and can learn a few things watching his fish room. 👍

    Most of all very knowledgeable... I'm from the Philippines and he inspires me to be a master breeder... I'm now a budding breeder myself and have successfully breed discus... The first person in my city...
    We don't have the same breeding program in the US, but I'm inspired to breed as many species as I can... So I can offer them here and share my passion with others... Thanks Jimmy and Dean!

    Dean the man! Thanks so much for your insights on wild discus. Just watched a Segrest Farms tour where the representative also said that wild-caught discus are hardier since their environments in nature fluctuate so much more than what discus breeders keep their fish in.

  • @michaelmccarthy4077
    @michaelmccarthy4077 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome to see, wild type Discus are under-appreciated in the hobby. I fully agree that wild Discus are (for the most part) _less_ finicky than commercial hybrids. Nhamunda Heckels (the finest of all wild Discus, IMO) need a little extra acclimation just because the water they come from is so soft and acidic but, once acclimated, they are just as hardy as Blues, Greens and Browns.

    Excellent video! Thoughtful questions that an average hobbyist would want to know, and then wonderful answers that have extra depth and knowledge tidbits. It may sound silly but one of my favorite parts was when Dean was talking about the water and there were clips to show just how much water/how fast it is in certain areas in the wild. That's stuff that otherwise an average keeper might not get to see or understand.

    I heard a similar story about the Peruvian green discus. I heard that in the 70s someone had to many to fit on the plane and had to let some go. Allegedly the original ones came out of the Tefe river. They are awesome fish. I currently have 2 that I’m hoping is a pair.

    Hi. I'm a hobbyist in India with 12 x 125-180g tanks of discus. One of my breeder friends had wilds which didnt spawn for a year, so he gave them to me. They spawned in 3 days in my 4x2.5x2 tank with azoo triple blackwater added. (then i shifted them to a breeding tank). Funny thing is they skipped the 4 JBL discus cones in the tank and spaned on the pump rubber pipe. :D

    How does the pH drops from 8.4 to settle at 6.8-7.0 like that? Or even lower?? You probably don't use the water straight from tap, but filter with a RO unit, right?
    Where did you get the tall cone from?
