- Adding SPECIAL Cory Fish To Discus Aquarium | MD Fish Tanks
I got these amazing Cory cat fish about 2 weeks ago now. They have been in a quarantine tank to make sure they were not carrying any nasties. They all look good to me so let's move them into their now home! The Discus Aquarium!

Awesome as usual bud!!
I'm just away to rescape my 60 lt tank. What's a good substrate and root tabs to use. Also what's a good and easy plants/moss to start with? I'm not using co2..
MD where did you get those cheap 2ft tanks from? Been searching for some like those and can't find any in the UK.
Please get an Asian Arowana
@@kennytaylor7768
Anubius, java fern, amazon swords and pearl weed are fine with almost any substrate but the pearl weed will take a little longer to grow. I'm not sure about root tabs as i have never used them before and any substrate would be fine but aqua soil would be great if u want your plants to grow quicker and have an even better chance of survival.also java moss is relativity easy to keep.
They way you giggle when your pronounce things the American way is hilarious. When you talk about algae and albino I laugh every time.
Discus Breeders: 'Breeding Discus is super difficult'
Discus fish: Yeah, this steel tube will do.
Don't wanna sound daft or owt, but.... MD, you are a ray of sunshine.
You're the one who got me into this hobby! I just did my first real scape, 20 gallon. It's only been a day since I took apart my basic 10g, and it keeps drawing my eye from my desk!
Honestly lockdowns been so annoying. that wahelcomeee just makes my day
good :)
It needs to go.....
I agree! LOVE IT!
These are what keep me going during this crap lockdown, sat here cleaning my tank out whilst watching this!
Im watching George Farmer, Green Aqua or MD Fish tanks videos when working on my tanks as well sometimes 😎
Appreciate the conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit for us Americans. Still learning how to do how to do Liters to Gallons too😆
I think we just need to know the most popular tank sizes and learn those few liters to gallons measurements.
Idea for aquarium: make a deep aquarium which has more height than length and you can scape it with pearlweed and stuff that grows long
I've bred corys for years, if u lower the temp by a few degrees in the discus aquarium for a 24hour period.
The Corys are most likely going to breed. In the wild they breed after rainfall then water temps drob a few degrees.
I understand it may be a risk with having discus but corys are super easy to breed and the fry are fricking cute too!!!
ngl these videos have been my happy place recently. Watching MD create and tend to these beautiful scapes inspired me to actually plan getting my first ever fish. and my landlord just told me he's chill with me having some! Its nice to feel excited about something after this year!!
Glad to see you are getting the cory virus as well. They are such a delight when they are acting natural. I bought about 50 of them myself for my 4 foot aquarium, they are quarantining now, can't wait till they can go explore.
Thats the only Problem with corys, you always want more of them 😂
There is just something so loveable about them. How they are very social, the way they move and look,.. and they go with pretty much everything that isnt a fierce predator.
I’d throw a spawning cone somewhere where it isn’t visible in the tank for the pair to lay their eggs.
this is my daily dose of relaxment. MD get some Dwarf mexican crayfish for the amazon tank please .
All you tanks are beautiful. Those discuss are my favorite. Corys are a good addition.
I have some extremely active Julii Corydoras in my 55gal community tank. Absolutely my favorite fish. I'm so in love with them, I'd put them in every tank I get in the future.
I suppose that mine are probably "false julii" (trilineatus), but same! Their black and white markings really stand out, and they're nice and active in the tank, surfing the glass, playing in the bubble wall, and rooting around high and low in the plants looking for food.
It’s unfortunate how they take care of fish at my Lfs. I’ve never seen the sterbais with the orange hints on their fins, looks awesome. Been waiting for these to be added ever since you put them in quarantine !!
Thank you for this video today! During a busy of week preparing for Christmas, it was so nice to sit down with a cup of tea and watch my favorite You Tuber!
One of those plant tanks will make for a great shrimp cull tank.
"You'll never look at something that's on the floor." You should get some rice fish in a clay pot and you'll change your tune :)
I spend way too much time sitting on the floor in front of my fish racks, and even lying down there so I can peer in at my adorable fish in the bottom tanks, or look up at the top tanks, trying to spot the fry in the plants at the top of them.
“Or Al-bye-no” 😂 love this man
That red-yellow-orange discus is impressive, really stands out :)
This is the most beautiful discus tank I have ever seen
Another quality addition to the MD Fish Tank portfolio! 👍
Fish often lay eggs on sponge filter. Perhaps there is water movement or good bacteria so the eggs stay alive
Looks amazing man! Show that Instagram photo can't wait to see that video! Keep up the awesome work
When a md vid comes that makes my day u are so entertaining..i think in the future u should do a full fish tank givaway
So I live in Maine , US. Maine has very limited law about what fish can be sold in stores , PetSmart had those cory cats in the store but they could not sell me any since they are not on the approved list. They sent them to New Hampshire.
Those filters are great but if you turn them off when you do a water change they tend to syphon out so difficult to restart, quick fix just place a pice of platic bag between the outlow and spray bar once you have turned it off .
I do the same thing with a 10 gallon using it as a nursery. living here in Southern California all I gotta do is put it outside now I always got a ton. Call it a water garden sounds classy
Mate honey gouramis are amazing fish to have in a nano, mine never disapoint and seem to leave the clean up crew alone which is bonus. As other say, great inspiration and just setting up a mix between your angel and discus set ups.
Super Fresh MD💯♥️ it looks like you definitely need to set up a tank for your pair of discus 💞 they are just stunning and so is the aquarium!! Love all the Cory's .. still my favorite fish for sure!!
Love the bedroom shoes Just My style 👍😁 you have so many incredible things going on there.... WOW!!
I hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas and Santa is good to you guys!! Happy holidays MD!! Much love from my family to yours 🙏🌿🐟🌿♥️🎁🎄
What a blessing to be able to buy so much during this time! Love the videos! Hope your family is doing well too!
10:05 That is good filter, I use them on my 60L tanks. They quite, powerful and has big volume for filter media.
I’m treating my black ghost knife for finrot but he is doing well
Edit: if you cross the honeys and reds you get the best combo, big fins and small mouth
I feel like MD finds any excuse to make a video so he can say "egg shooter" 😂
@.@ Not only did you almost make me spew my beer, but you made me choke on it as well! LMAO
Please may we have some Timmy Time soon!
I liked your comment "we keep water" if your water is happy. The fish will be too!
This tank is absolutely stunning!!
thanks you :)
AWESOME!!Always look forward to your videos!
thats great scott ;)
👌
Your discus look amazing. I love the colours :)
Love your videos MD, Keep up the amazing content and post more!
Awesome video as always :) Merry Christmas to you and your family :) 🤗
It's because it is in the corner and easy to protect.
good theory
@@MDFishTanks its only a guess because my Discus did the same thing then I added another flat surface rock in a corner and they moved.
@@MDFishTanks also keep up the amazing work. I live in Florida and am following in the path you are blazing. Went from 1 tank to 10 in 6 months and it's the best hobby in the world. So peaceful and relaxing. You are truly influencing this hobby and being a positive role model for kids. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
honey gouramis are sooo cute i have them in my aquarium and i love them
I love you channel soooo much! You are really amazing and you have inspired me too have 5 of my own fish tanks hehehe! I really love your blackwater neon tetra aquarium!
(this is genuine... not for likes or anything) lol
Love your Cory’s they look so cool , and love all the tank set ups you do. Say hi to Timmy for me
You're entertaining and informative! Keep up the great work. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas 🎅
Hello friend, it is amazing and wonderful what you do there, the discs are very healthy and active, it sucks that here in Brazil it is very expensive to have fish with this quality, a specimen like this is worth half a salary of an ordinary worker, I love the hoby and I have a tank planted with guppy. congratulations on the work and thanks for the content.
from a fan of Brazil 🇧🇷
I think this is your nicest looking tank.
Aha I love corys soo much!!
When are you going to set up the breeding tank for the discus??
Cories are the coolest.
Merry Christmas 🎄 and a happy new year.
Yessss finalllyyyyy MD you light up my day ❤️
Beautiful setup .stuning beauty
Defo need to get some geos(earth eaters) in a tank stunning fish I have loads
Finally ive been waiting for this to happen
Where do you buy black backrounds that you use
You have a fantastic channel and enthusiasm, love seeing all your aquariums. Just a request for watchability, could you hold your camera still and not sway it around so much? It makes it hard to watch when you are doing "vlog style". Keep it up!!
The more I watch your videos, the more envious I get of all your beautiful plants. I set up a planted tank (no fish yet) over a month ago and my plants just keep turning to mush. 😭
Don't you think you have enough cleaner fish now, between all the cory cats and algae eaters? You'll have to feed a little extra to accommodate them all. Love the tank and fish except the bare corners, it looks super nice. Good job! 😀🎄
You should always feed extra to cories. They can't just subsist on whatever the other fish don't eat, they have their own dietary requirements. They aren't just "cleaner fish". What gross attitude to have in this hobby.
@@scarletamazon3455 I never said I thought they were just cleaner fish. Please don't put words in my mouth. I have bottom dwellers and buy them their own foods.
I've kept sterbai with my discus for years in a group of 12 snd they look awesome. They also breed but the discus eat the eggs, which brings me to the question. How about a pure cory tank. Shallow with wood for roots and some of your leaves on the substrate, would be quite cool. Brilliant videos, happy Xmas and stay safe.
Happy xmas and a prosperous new year to you and your family
Could you do a tank build live stream? That would be amazing. Maybe do a Q&A.
Try some slate facing up in your tank
MD Tanks - my happy place.
Look at my gouramis....obscured by pearlweed. Look at my corys...obscured by pearlweed.
So beautiful fishies
Putting eggs on the pipe - family planning 😎
When I was researching the honey gouramis people online said minimum 70 liters for a pair. I wanted to put two in a 54l aquarium. So I ordered them online and said I want male and female. Unfortunatelly I got 2 males. At first they were fine and people say that honey males are mostly fine with each other unless like other gouramis. But after sometime one of them started harrasing the other one from time to time. As the time progressed the harrassing got worse even resolving in a parasite attack. Which it seems I resolved. But idk if you will be able to keep 3 in a 30l aquarium. Hopefully mine will be fine together in my 128l aquarium. Great videos btw have a nice day! :)
They are definitely not suitable to be kept as 3 in a 30 liter. 2 males of 2 females in such a small tank will mean war, especially during mating time. 120+ liters for 3 or 4 may work, assuming you have enough places for them to hide - even then there's no guarantees.
Hi just found your channel and loving your whole enthusiasm, Brilliant, I've never had any luck with plants but thinking of giving it another go in separate tank and possibly some shrimp in there , do you feed your plants ? Your tanks and fish are amazing, happy Christmas, keep safe
Brilliant video. I have a 3ft tank and wondering how many discus i can put in.
Just read somewhere about steel mesh filter intake covers...since I assume that filter intake sponge isn't posh enough for you these days! :D
Where do you get you black backgrounds from 👍
Question: why do you need a filter if you’ll keep only plants in the small tanks?
Love the videos and all the setups by the way! Pleasing to watch.
Try july cory they are similar too sterbai but has this dot on theri top fin :D
Hey Md if you're wondering why your discus are darker when breeding it's because their skin makes a type of slime that fries are eating after hatching.
Very nice, LIKE 2312. MERRY CHRISTMAS
Feeding time is my fav time... and I got some pygmy peppered corys their sixk
My Angeles lay there eggs on the intake to it's so dumb 😂😂
maybe we need to put some fake ones in there haha
@@MDFishTanks 😂
Where do you get your water? You use tap and take it from a bucket or is that tube connected straight from a faucet?
Merry Christmas
Hi MD, I am a superfan of corydoras, can you scape a tank just for the corydoras?
Man keep it up always support from india ❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳
Very cool.
I would like to ask you, if it is possible for you to attend, I would be very grateful.
I follow your videos and your aquarium setups,
Do you have videos that show the assembly of your leaqt from the records aqaurio for us to show?
Barbel erosion is caused by bacteria infections. Catfish can still get it even in bare tanks. Better to put effort to keep the tank clean than getting the finest sand.
Also I’m excited for when you get molies. I’ve been asking since you were at 10k subs😂
Can you do a video of feeding all your fish
They really love that pipe huh
You should try and keep dwarf snakeheads
I have a question. A long time ago my mom bought aquarium decor for her bearded dragon tank. I now want to use that used decor in my new fish tank. Can I do that? Will it cause problems in my tank?
Well the eggs need good flow ;D
Hey MD. would love to share my tank with you. Let me know how i can send you some pics or vids. Thanx for the awesome show!!!
love your videos! BTW i was wondering ho you post so frequently and if you could give any tips to do so. thanks!
What’s the brand of the HOB filter? Thanks
Hi MD. I am considering starting a Discus tank. I was just wondering if you had any tips on keeping them? And are they really as difficult to keep as people say?
no. remember, we keep water, not fish. Looks after the water....everything else is good. Plants always help massively with setting up tanks and fish health
@@MDFishTanks Thanks MD.
Do you use a heater in the discus tank?
What happened to the angelfish?
i’m getting a 10g for christmas!
I just started with a 10g in November! So much fun to grow plants and watch the kids swim around and around everywhere!
Get a Bumblebee gobi for a nano tank!!
