I’ve had mine for 6 yrs and is definitely my favorite fish. She lives with a gold severum and a chalceus. I tried keeping pristella tetras when they were smaller but they were all eaten! They are great fish- very intelligent and mostly peaceful, but mine is definitely the boss of the tank.
Another one who keeps a fish that needs a group of the same kind to feel safe, by itself!! Why do Americans not do research about fish and pets in general? Are they just extra lazy?!
I have a group of 6 and they are my current favourite fish. But they are a bit more sensitive when they are small, I had another group of 5 that were doing very well but they all died while I was out of country, they person taking care of them overfed that tank way too much. Other than that very hardy intelligent fish, good eaters and can be very beautiful depending on age and genetics
Lovely fish they are, except of course on that Kribensis, naughty kribensis. lol They love cucumber and so with your plecos and of course they like wood as well as your plecos,
Hi Isabella, have just stumbled across your channel, very impressive. Thank you for a very interesting video on Uaru, l have always loved these fish but ruled them out of my wish list for my newly set up 600g tank due to their high temperature requirements. My other fish wouldn't thrive in the high 20's plus heating a 600g to those temperatures in the UK is problematic, well l mean expensive! Your fish look fantastic & 25°C would be perfect for me. Am excited, thanks again. Paul
@@Gbonejohn1974 Thanks John, feel confident to to go for it now! Just got to fine some. Checked out your group, looked fantastic, we have similar taste in tank set up. Paul
@@paulcox4369 heating big tanks in the uk is a joke ...at 25-26 my heaters are barely on and why ive always avoided discus ...heating a 1000 litre plus tank to a constant 30-31my old tank was about 1700 litres let alone your 600 gallon is ridiculous and the heaters always seem to straining
@@Gbonejohn1974 l agree, l used to keep discus in my 1,000 L system & moved away from them for that reason. When l built my 2,400L tank out of plywood l heavily insulated it & installed a constant drip WC system. My water is from a spring & in winter l use water from my hot water system, this keeps the tank at 25°C. As the water is heated by my wood burning stove & l have a wood the cost is small, if l try & raise tempreture drip water change system won't do it & heaters kick in & you are right heating that amount of water to 30°C is very expensive, as it is when l go away!
Doesn't the rocks you have in their make the water too hard for these? They come from waters that is rather soft...They need to chew on wood. And you need the right kind of wood, so it wont fall apart! People, do some research before putting out videos about your pets!!!
I'm surprised you call these poor man's discus...as nice as discus are, they're too round for me lol. it's funny how I have a preference for fish shape... I really like oscars, nicaraguensis, key holes, convicts that kinda thing. as for poor man's discus I really prefer these uaru to discus. amphiacanthoides is the word you were looking for lol. I'd completely forgotten that these existed, they were always on my wish list when I used to keep fish and now they're back on my wish list now I'm intending on keeping fish again
@@AquazoneQC I used to keep Discus with my wife it's really hard to care for Discus now we keep Rainbow Fish. I'm planning to get 3 Uaru tomorrow. So your suggesting to get at least 4?
Why did you keep just one? They need to feel safe and that's why you keep them in groups! Maybe it died because it was always stressed out because it didn't have mates of his kind?! I hate how Americans keep their pets, I see it all over youtube! Why are Americans so dumb and lazy when it comes to research about their pets?! Disgusting!!!
AQUAZONE Izabella okay. And last thing, my fish store has two I want and they are almost full grown; and I am getting them for my 125 gallon tank, but my PH is 7.4. I know you mentioned it doesn’t matter about the PH but these are wild caught, and the manager there was telling me I need to quarantine them to acclimate then to the PH. I’ve never done this before, my PH on all my tanks are 7.4, will it be a problem

Yes super nice fish
Can you upload a video of them on your channel? If you still have them

I love Uaru I miss mine so much!
Excellent video I've been talking to some breeders about greeting some of these great video and information yes this is the better looking ones
Hope you find nice ones for yourself !
AquaZone Aquarium Services Mtl Izabella Hey i finally got a wild caught pair 6-8"

Awesome tank! How big is it?
How can I tell the male from the female in a uaru fish?
Weird. Mine ate my cardinal tetras. And plants. They love plants.
I have no explanations hehe but sometimes neons are so fragile and just die of stress . No joke... try black neon or albinos
@@AquazoneQC no, he's right. I have wild Uaru's and they eat smaller fish and beat cichlids up.
Lovely fish they are, except of course on that Kribensis, naughty kribensis. lol They love cucumber and so with your plecos and of course they like wood as well as your plecos,
Haha 😂 yes dear

Depends on what type of rock that is and also if she adds something to lower the ph
Im trying to feed mine veggies but look like they are love the frozen blood worms more...
Don’t feed blood worms ... check the video I made about hem
Yes i know but they are ignoring any vegi based food...
They are also growing really fast ... i think i have video in my channel going crazy about worms...
nice blue phantom pleco
Thanks !

Haha i just got two more couldn’t resist !
Cool. Thanks for sharing. I ended up with one when I picked up some severums from Richelle
I saw just the one you’re talking about he’s amazing fish :)
Why just one? They need to be in a group to feel safe!!!! Do your research ffs!!! Bloody stupdi Americans who and their way of fish keeping!!!
Can you keep Uaru only 2 fish ? Will they fight all the time? Because cichlid known to be aggressive?
Usually they don't fight. I have one for a year now and he's fine also. They make friends easily
@@AquazoneQC cool thx for the quick reply I'm planning to get one tomorrow 🙂 greetings as fellow fish lover I sub already 🙂
@@Evo1122 if we want to be fair, th se are group fish. 4-6 then they are truely happy. They are they ugly cousins of discus if u will
@@AquazoneQC I used to keep Discus with my wife it's really hard to care for Discus now we keep Rainbow Fish. I'm planning to get 3 Uaru tomorrow. So your suggesting to get at least 4?
@@Evo1122 yes
What’s the white spot on the fish ? A type a fungus ?
A birth mark ?
Alguien me puede decir el nombre del pez gris con punto negro
I really didn't know about this fish :)
Hahha
They are cute ^_^
do you now King of DIY, a very famous youtuber and fishkeeper ? He had them too.. check : th-cam.com/video/U9Gt1sbXfcg/w-d-xo.html
what's the light blue big spot behind his gill ?
Uaru get spots on them it looks like ich sometimes but uaru just get white speckles on them
What would be the minimum size tank for one? Would one be good in a 40 gallon?
They get very big like 10 inches. Try more a 100 g like in my recent video
AquaZone Aquarium Services Mtl Izabella if I purchased one now about how long would I need to upgrade to a 100 gallon tank?
South American Cichlids faster growing than other cichlids... get them when you get the big tank ;)
Can I have them with mollies,platies, and Angel fish
With anything they very quiet and peaceful
No, no, yes
How old are your fish?
Monstraucity 6 months old back then I think
I had huge uaru beautiful big orange eyes, it died last week was so pissed off.
was so cool and definitely my favourite fish.
Why did you keep just one? They need to feel safe and that's why you keep them in groups! Maybe it died because it was always stressed out because it didn't have mates of his kind?!

Can i keep them with oscars and blood parrot
Probably with caution as long as same size fish :)
You sure can as long as everyone's size are similar.
Can I put them with Severums
Yes
AQUAZONE Izabella ok, also they don’t fight at all? I remember people telling me that with discus and I had them but still had fighting problems
Maybe !
AQUAZONE Izabella okay. And last thing, my fish store has two I want and they are almost full grown; and I am getting them for my 125 gallon tank, but my PH is 7.4.

What about fake plants
That’s good
Cool video but how many tanks do you have and what's in them ?
It varies every month :)
