I will join. I’m going through some personal things right now but once my life and finances get back to normal I will definitely become a Member. I enjoy your videos and I love those beautiful fish of yours.
Omg the ad-libs are Hilarious👏🏾👏🏾😂🤣😩🤣😂😂😂
That's where I get my African Cichlids from. They have great variety of choices.
Beautiful colours
I would like to share an experience with you Kave
3 years ago I was deep into discus just loved keeping them and had a 100-gallon with 10 discus. Then I added a BABY GREEN AROWANA to the tank. Things were looking beautiful and the tank was completely stable for about a year. Then out of the blue Arowana started showing aggression I thought it was just a phase for him, then after 3 months, Discus used to come out only to feed and go back to hiding. This leads me to two options to give away discus or Arowana, Give my Arowana away to some store and replace it with some American cichlid, which is also not working good, and finally gave away my old discus
long story short discus in a community of large fish doesn't go along for a long time, just keep an extra tank ready to move discus in.
Thank you for sharing that! I appreciate hearing the experiences of others! I am fully aware that it may not work with the arowana but I've also heard of success stories as well, keeping Arowana with Discus. I've got my fingers crossed hoping I can also have success but I'll be ready to move fish around if I have to. Thanks again for the heads up!
I keep my oscar with 2 angle fish every one at the fish shop said it was a bad idea but it working. Even when I add their food ( the oscar has he own food ) and angle fish has their own. No food aggression. My big blood parrot fish is the tank boss and even she dosnt care
@@domthorpe4372 can work fish are different species give off different phenols and hormones😎👍
Best looking tanks on RUclips....great job!
Thank you bro!
crazy i live like 7 min from these guys and get a lot of my stuff from them. maybe ill run into you one day
Kev, those discus are beautiful, I love your channel... Its great to see your passion shine through and it has inspired me to go from normal tropical fish to make the jump to African cichlids and iv really caught the fish keepers bug, thanks for all the information and guidance. Big thumbs up from me, Manchester United Kingdom 👍
Glad I could inspire you to dive into the African Cichlid world! Happy to hear you're enjoying the channel! 😊💪
Love it!!!! I cannot wait to see more content on discus. You’re my favorite fish guy lol. I have 9 discus myself. I personally believe these guys are a true centerpiece. I absolutely love them!
I'm loving my new guys also! 😊 Cant wait to get more!
The turquoise and red glass are BEAUTIFUL!!! 💙🤍❤️❤️🔥
Thank you! 😊😊
Love those Discus. I've always been tempted myself
Love, love, LOVE your work Kev. Really beautiful fish! You did good on your choice. Love your channel. You’re the fish King! Best fish keeping advice on RUclips. Keep up the great work. 👍👍
Thank you bro! Glad you're enjoying the channel and the New Discus 😁💪
Love your NYG dice hanging off the rear view mirror. Now I know why you loved my oscars names Eli and LT. Sad to see your oscars go but discus are beautiful fish. Looking forward to see how they do with flaco dos.
Yes Sir! Life long fan of big Blue! 😊💪
That’s a great transition and very excited to see you demonstrate some feedback and information about Discus fish and what are the best things we need to provide the most appropriate environment for them, kudos man. But I’m very stressed and worried about adding the Discus with the Arwana and Severium, I would see some Angels and one more type of schooling fish like Cardinals tetra with them since they more like quit atmosphere not like the others. And good luck
Thank you bro! The severums were a bit aggressive at first but they've since calmed down and leave them alone. The Discus are now swimming freely throughout the whole tank and eating well. The Arowana ignores them completely, no issues at all there 😁 Will def have more discus content in the near future now
Yesssss finally been wating for this day to come ever since I 1st started watching your channel!!!!!! I started with discus when I 1st got into the hobby don't let none scare u off u got this !!!
Thank you bro! Awesome to hear a success story of someone starting with Discus! Nice!
I can see another tank coming up
Yay 😀 not a short video👍🏽
lol, I try to get these long ones out once a week as usual 😊
@@KaveManAquatics I started my journey by watching your videos. I should have listened to you about the MTS. I bought a 10 gallon. I figured I was purchasing it while being depressed and I’ll probably give it away NOPE. 4 1/2 months in and I want bigger. My next tank will be a 55 gallon. I don’t have any room for anything bigger. I really love the hobby. I only have platies I love them. I plan to get more community fish. I’m 65 and it’s never too late to start or learn something new. 👵🏽🙂
Oh shoot you are from LI, so am I . Wow love your channel!
What's your go-to spot in Long Island for aquarium supplies and stock?
Hey kave, love your videos, I LEARN A LOT from you and I wanted to say thank you for that.. I know that you have you keep your ph around 8, discus prefere lower below 7, and another think is put some live plants, I'll recommend amazon sword they are very easy to care of. My discus love to swim through them and even sleep in them. That plant is heavily a root feeder, lots of root taps. Love your discus 🥰🥰🥰 they are gorgeous 😍 ❤.... Thank you for your videos and the time that you give to us. Thank you.
Thank you bro, appreciate the tips as well! I actually just did add some live plants. Swords and Val...my severums are beating them up currently, but hopefully they make it 😊
A HEY boy .... 🤣😂😂
Amazing color, love it.
Have A Safe Journey Fish 🐟 🐠.. KeveMam Always Keep It Real.. 💯
Georgia Washington bridge to Manhattan, or Bronx my old neighborhood 👍😎
Heartiest Congratulations Kev
❤️❤️
Thank you!! 😊💪
Beautiful!!! Can’t wait to see more added!
Thank you bro, me too! 😁
Love the discus i have a few myself 💪💪
You gotta call ahead of time
For the fish hut? No just walk in 😊
@@KaveManAquatics do they ship to California I’m on in Orange County
Big Shouts to you brother thanks for all the consistent info and videos thanks to u I started up my 100g African cichlids tank and ironically fish hut of new jersey is my go to spot so this vid was a double win also I just happened to pick up that same giant today as well a dolphin head
I murdered a Ram 😂😂😂
Congratulations, new fishs looks great .
Thank you bro! 😊💪
Hey kev was just curious as you were showing the fish in the 150 and when u we’re on your arowana it kinda looks like he has look down on the left eye idk lol maybe he was just lookin at them amazing discus
He does look down from time to time but his eye doesn't stay that way. If he does get drop eye its ok too...🤷♂️
Where did you get the big log decor?
Loving the new discus bro..that turquoise is a beast. the kings of freshwater you’re gonna love these guys !
Feels like they got me wrapped around their lil fins already! 🤣
I love Discus and have always dreamed of having Discus in a planted community tank. But I only have room and cash for one tank so I had to go Tanganyikan. They look awesome, good luck with your first try 😉👌
Where's the red pleco?
Discus fish are stunning! Iv got a discus tank, very peaceful fish
Totally agree! Cant wait for my next 6 to complete the look!
@@KaveManAquatics That's gonna look sweet!!! 😊
Kev I notice the USMC Photo on one of your videos..
Yup, me 25 years ago 😊😊
Hey kaveman kev. I have a question why on the second tank you treated it like a sick tank with the treatment and such but in the 150 tank you didn’t since all the fish came from the same drive an hour away ? Good question lol
Lol great question. The African was just 1 fish taken from an established tank. The Discus were all the fish in the tank, so they could have been sharing something…👍
lets goo i was waiting for this lets goo great vid kev
Thank you bro!
Aye my boy kev I recognize that drive we from the same parts
Cool!
I just caught up on your videos; your getting discus put me over the top to subscribe! I've watched your content on canister filters before, and found them very informative. But I always thought you were African Cichlids only; I totally missed your addition of South American Cichlids! I recently got discus for the first time myself, for a 90 gallon aquarium, so I want to see how your tank works out. I went with the safer combination of discus and tetras, but I love the combination you have going with discus, severum, geo's and even the arowana! Good luck with it all, and ignore the "experts" dissing on you. If you make it work, it works!
I'm so happy I discovered your channel! I'm learning so much more thanks to your videos . I plan on getting some fish in the future from Imperial thanks to you!
Welcome to the hobby! And I’m glad you found the channel as well 😁💪
@@KaveManAquatics may I ask you what manufacturers you trust when buying a tank ? Every one I'm interested in I read reviews & then panic when I see ones saying they leak,or have burst altogether. Thanks for your help!
@@freyacoldheart4287 My 2 biggest tanks are Aqueon. Haven’t had a problem 😊
@@KaveManAquatics I'm going to look into them right now ! Thank you!! Keep those videos coming!
Yooooo!!!! Been going to Fish Hut for a year now! Keep up the good work Kev, hopefully I'll see you at the Hut lol
Hey boss man the lil schooling fish you have in your tank what are they?
I gave up on the Discus, they’re beautiful but super difficult to maintain.
Im going to try and make it as easy as possible. If I do, I'll be sure to let you guys know 😁
Dang I'm sad Hulk is gone. he was a beautiful green terror. hope he goes to a nice big tank and lives a happy life
Me too bro!! I found out he was purchased the very next day! Him and the female so at least they have each other 😊
Where do you get your stand?
Bruh my tank was yellow and your info has helped me tremendously
My pleasure bro, glad I could help! 😁💪

Wow! I didn't know you had the discus comin' devil dog. Quite jealous with your 150gal tank (if I can only convince the wife - hahaha). I'm a noob when it comes to aqualife (just started with a 55gal) and I'm learning A TON from your channel! Congrats on your new herd and looking forward to more words-of-wisdom.

The only one that is more agressive than the oscar is the almighty net
🤣🤣 True story
You went to Fish Hut that's my favorite store its about 40 min from my home in Woodbridge NJ. You live in Long Island? Love your Videos
Yup, great store, awesome tanks, fish and service!
You should have keep the silver dollars
They are very peaceful fish
Due to their speed they may stress out the discus

my master rocks🔥🔥🔥🥳
Thanks for sticking with me all this time!! 😊💪
Did you really put discus with an arowana ???
Really really! And guess what…I didn’t just invent it either…
Hey Kev,
Been watching your content over the last few months & I’m an African keeper myself, I seen your store in this video & said wait!!! Kevin is from Jersey? Lol. Me too. I go to Absolutely Fish. Thanks for all the helpful videos but I would like to pick your brain 🤙🏽
My pleasure bro! I've heard of that store but havent had a chance to visit yet. Im from L.I, NY but I spend my days in uptown manhattan right by the bridge 😊 You can pick my brain on a 1 on 1 consultation call whenever you're ready 😊 kavemanaquatics.com/kaveman-coaching/
@@KaveManAquatics ha, yeah I noticed that you were from L.I. once the video rolled lol. I got family in NY too but it’s cool we’re close. Yeah Absolutely Fish is legit in Clifton NJ. The coaching is cool man always an option which is much appreciated. Maybe I can catch a live stream but I’ll definitely be watching!
@@KaveManAquatics you’ve probably linked this in many of your videos that I just haven’t yet seen but specifically your African 150 I believe, I like the fake grey slate rock & would like to change up my decor to that down the line. Currently I have Texas Holy rock which is great to help maintaining PH but they are white & very hard to keep clean. I have OCD & do not like that lol.
The arowana wasnt a problem j
Nope, not even now with Discus in the tank 😊
I watched some of your older videos on filtration. It got me thinking, is it possible to run a canister filter for 2 tanks stacked vertically???
You would need to have 2 separate outputs...but either way, the pump power head isnt designed to pump 2 outputs.
Add some live plants
Already on it...wait for next weeks video lol
When U Medicated The 150 What Did U Do
Sorry bro, I dont really remember at this point....can you give me a time stamp from the video?
I've had discus before and still have 1 left . Discus are slow eaters, so keep that in mind with the other fish you are keeping in the tank with then.
Yea I noticed, thankfully everyone is eating now 😊
What are you feeding your discus? Also do you feed your other fish different food. I have discus with some rams and gouramis and they all eat different food. Kind of a headache
I know what you mean! I finally got all my discuss to eat both black worms and beef heart...while only some eat Hikari Vibra bites and some eat northfin pellets...I have to feed a mix to make sure everyone eats...but I just started with them so hopefully they all get used to one or the other.
Very big fish :o
😁
Kev, just be mindful of the sevs becoming more aggressive now that they are now the dominant fish in the tank and becoming more mature and in breeding mode. 👀 love it just need to lower your ph to suit discus as they wont thrive in high ph.
Yea, they were curious at first but have now calmed down. My PH from the tap is close to neutral and these tank raised Discus will do fine in that 😊
my 3 tiger Oscars grow up so fast. and they are terrorising the whole tank. they already killed alot of fish 🐟🐟🐟
They will continue to kill as the gap in size difference grows...in my experience
Kevz, since you have discuss, I believe you increase the temp of your tank. Will the clown loaches going to be fine on that high heat?
Absolutely, they do well in a wide range. Im keeping the tank at 85 currently 😊
I found out today that they are not Albino Tiger Oscars if they got any black or gray in there fins they are called Lutino Tiger Oscars. A true albino oscar will be one that has a near-white base color with pink mottling. ✌🏻 ❤️ 🐠
hey Kev. I have a Rainbow Cichlid, a Jack Demsey, and a Couple Frontosa in with my 8 Peacocks. As im sure you know Rainbows and Jacks are central American, and the Frontosa's are African but originate from Lake Tanganyika unlike the peacocks that originate front Lake Malawi. Yes the tank is overstocked but they seem to like it better that way. Im curious. Should I still use Cichlid Lake Salt and if so how much? The bottle has a recommended GH for each lake and you dose based on your tank waters hardness.
Hey kaveman aquatics I was wondering if I had my red belly piranha with 4 sun catfish and 2 ciclids I put the other 2
Piranhas in a different tank so when they grow up they don’t school and lil all my fish is that okay
It’s a 55 gallon
Nice Discus Kevin, did you say you bought them in NJ, I live in Toms River NJ. Are you using ro/di water or treated tap water for them. I.ve been doing discus for 30 years, the Key large water changes, great filtration, i only feed mine live blackworms, and frozen bloodworms, stable ph low nitrates, high temp-i keep mine at 86 degrees, they love high temps. Mine get from 6inch to 8inch fish, i know you also use very large tanks so that is a big plus, again the key low NITRATES. Good luck my friend SEMPER FI MARINE. Joe H Navy Seabee
Im keeping them in tap water at about 7.3 PH. they've adjusted well to it and Ive increased my water changes to twice a week to keep nitrates down. Temp at 85 currently....Appreciate the tips and advice sir and thank you for your service!! 😊💪
Do you feed the same food and nutrients/supplements to your American tank that you do your African???
Yup, it's beneficial for all fish! 😊
My Man , that just don't make cents to give up the Dollars !!! LoL
The Beast from the East , L👀K @ the Size on that Big Boy !!!! Discus is on the way , to getting a new System one day 😎 * I mean it's for the overall health & well being , and it would be good for the fish too💙🌏💚
They just didnt do it for me 🤷♂️😊
@@KaveManAquatics yeah I totally feel ya , the wow factor is the DISCUS , so good to go with what you want and you showed how to go about it ☯️
Lame move on the getting rid of the green terrors , they’re beautiful fish
Sorry I didnt check in with you first Michael, figured I could do what I want with my tank 🙄
Nice DISCUS GOOD LUCK SEVRUMS MAY GET NASTY. ARROWNA OVER THERE HEAD , CONSTANTLY STRESSING. 🧐
Obviously you havent seen my tank lately...
Hey Kave,
Just curious what sand you're using in that 150? Looks nice and somewhat fine
Diamond Blasting Sand If Im Not Mistaken You can Get It From A Tractor Supply Store
Mr Kev…Mr Kev!!! lol you finally made it to my man Rich at Fish Hut!!! Great store, great owners, and the best employees in any fish store in NJ 💯
Ok man, I told you a long time ago you are gonna get bit by the SA bug man…South American Fish are just beautiful, I really enjoy keeping my Severums. Oscars while beauties are just not a good mix with Severums in any tank below 200 gallons, it can work and I’ve seen it work but it takes a huge tank and a very patient fish keeper as you need to be watching that tank 24/7 and it’s just a hard tank to manage, can be done tho. As for the discus….Beautiful Fish my bro! However and I’m being honest my man…pay very close attention to the PH, I’ve been keeping my Uaru Pandas in a PH of 6.5 and they are doing great. I have Low PH here where I live so it’s not so hard for me to keep sensitive fish that need a lower PH. Add some drift wood, I’d deff look into some realistic looking plants like elite cichlids used to carry, and just keep an eye on the sevs with them. All fish are not the same, and yours may do fine with the discus, and they may not…Time will tell. As I’ve said on my gram many times, my sevs aren’t so nice, but they seem to get along with my geos and just chase amongst each other. Either way good luck and I’m glad you finally made it to the Hut! They really are awesome people👌🏼
Thanks bro, glad you enjoyed the video! My severums are doing good so far, a bit too interested at first but now totally ignore the Discus. And the Discus are getting comfortable now, swimming through every inch of the tank and eating well. I've researched a ton before getting these guys and while yes they are supposed to be kept in a low PH many agree that these tank-raised Discus can and have adjusted to a higher PH close to neutral. My tap is like 7.3 7.5 around there and so far my guys are doing well in there. I've just increased the water changes to twice a week to keep nitrates as low as possible, especially in the beginning.
The guys at fish hut were super helpful and knowledgeable, made me feel comfortable with the Discus! Next time you see Rich tell'm I said whats up!! 😊💪
@@KaveManAquatics So glad to hear they are all doing well together🙏🏻 And absolutely man, tank bred fish are always so much more resilient against the stuff that bother wild fish. I just dealt with it for the Uaru Pandas, they need very similar conditions to what wild discus thrive in, and bro let me tell you…it’s been a wild few weeks to say the least! Things are finally stable (for now) and hopefully me having such low PH out of the tap will pay off.
I actually started doing 2 water changes a week for both my tanks and everyone seems to be thriving. My Severums are growing like weeds and same for the Geos…If I can give you one tip that has really paid off for me it’s been really upping the veggie based food👌🏼
I started giving my fish the veggie granuals from Sera and brooooo….they absolutely love them!!! Also been using the veggie flakes from them as well and have been limiting protein to only a day or 2 during the week and the change in color and activity is really noticeable💯
Heading to the Hut this weekend and I will definitely tell Rich and the crew you send your regards💪🏼😎
Hey Kevin, I live in rural mt. I have very hard water with a ph of around 8.4 it has taken me two years to get one breeding pair of koi angel fish. I am getting better at raising the fry as they are thriving in my nasty water. Do you think it nuts to try and raise discus?
King of DIY breed discus in his hard water in Canada and I have extremely hard water and have breed angels so hey go for it and try. Don’t get wild type discus though they need softer water.
Im not experienced in the requirements of Koi, but keeping Discus in that high of a PH may be difficult. They dont necessarily need to be in very acidic water like the wild, they have been bred to adjust to a higher PH but 8.4 may be too high....I agree with @bamastead, If you're going to try, try with tank raised and not wild discus...good luck though.
Discus are looking good Kev…what part of NJ is the FishHut in?…I’m in Delaware and we have shit for fish stores here expect for the usual Petco and PetSmart stuff
Thanks bro, they're in Saddle Brook, NJ If you make it out there you wont be disappointed! Tell'm Kaveman Sent ya 😊
@@KaveManAquatics ok…about 2 hours North for me 👍🏻
Fishhut good place been there & Ely's Tropical Fish is great also n.j good video
Add some schooling fish
Hey new subscriber here. Loving the content! Quick question, How aggressive were the green terrors? Looking into getting one or a jack Dempsey to accompany my Oscar and blue acara.
I had a Pleco and it grew from 1" to about 8" then it died. After researching, I think I starved him to death. It said something about having to give them vegetables. What is the proper way to care for pleco's?
Yes they are veggie eaters and when young feed themselves very well with algae in the tank. As they get bigger they get lazier and do less cleaning and eating algae.
Hey kev, I'm setting up two canister filters on one tank, would you have both inlets on one side and outs on the other side? Or an in and out of one side and same on the other?? Thanks kev your the man! 😁
I have the INS on opposite sides. and the outputs both somewhat in the middle pushing the surface water in the same direction as my wave maker. A detailed video on this exact question is at the top of my list 😊
Hey KaveMan, any tips for baby arowana care? I've got one right now who seems to be very timid, especially at feeding time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Love the channel
Try adding some Baby Rams. They make good food for the arowana and it would give him something to chase. 5 is a good number to start with.
@@Andyradford81 😂🤣😂
Why would you trade out the silver dollar? I like to add them to my cichlid tank
They just didnt do it for me 🤷♂️
How big will you let the arrowana get before you move him jw because I thought about putting on in my 150
Well if I can't get my 8 footer in time then he's there to stay...🤷♂️
Was about to ask you the other day if you had any other type of fish
Sure do 😊
Whats it cost you in tolls ? To come from ny. …….. im
10 mins from fish hut 🐠. Great staff. And 🐠 fish
Not sure, I use ezpass to commute into the city every day...so that trip was just added to my monthly bill lol
GOOD LUCK WITH THE NEW DISCUS.....THE TANK LOOKS GREAT
Thank you Sir!! 😊
@@KaveManAquatics YOUR WELCOME.....IF YOU EVER HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DISCUS...PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO ME.....
Hey caveman why do they cut in between the fishes fins? I've seen this done and I think they do it so they don't jump 🤷🏻♂️ or the fins look bigger or something when they heal.
Never heard of cutting in between. But some do clip the tips of damaged fins so they can regrow.
Why did you trade the oscar’s? They wouldn’t get along with the new fish?
They were attacking my Arowana at the time due to their size differences.
Use two nets to catch fish MUCH easier.
I got them all pretty easy with one 😊
@@KaveManAquatics just helps to corral them so they can’t juke you Kev 😉

Hi I’m new to fish keeping and I don’t have a lot of money right now but out of no where this morning my filter woke me up with creepy rumbling noises. It does this from time to time so I’m used to usually but Today it was extremely loud and grating.I set up an old much smaller filter for the time being and come to find out it’s broken 😞. My filter has been broken for half a year now actually. This was jus the first time it wouldn’t pump at all! Now I have no idea what kind of filter to get for my fish. Their in a 20 gallon tank. Is there any quieter good filters out there that are cheap? Looked on eBay but I don’t know what to look for! I hope someone see this and can help! Thanks 😊.
Check out the Tidal hang on back filters. Super quiet and work great. - amzn.to/3NSRvU7

Hey Kevin! Love the channel , I’m sure you’ve gotten this question a million times but do you plan to indulge in salt water fish anytime soon?
I wouldnt say soon...but eventually YES! 😊
@@KaveManAquatics thanks for the reply !
So my roommate and I have wanted discuss for a long time I have a bichirs And although temperament wise they would be fine I wonder if I can acclimate them to the higher temperature they usually like it between 72 and 82 I keep them right about 83 right now they’re in with my American cichlids… Do you think I would be able to acclimate them to the higher temperature?
If theyre already at 83 they shouldnt have a problem at 85 😊
Isn’t that a lot of fish in one tank?
It is, and its done by design when keeping African Cichlids. Learn more about them here - ruclips.net/p/PLP5OXTIIDO8MG9hyJ8PjbC33zEbcyy8__
