This video was made by our forum owner Al Sabetta. It is by far one of the more concise up to date videos on discus information and rearing.
This video will answer a slew of questions you may have if you are interested in getting in to discus. It isn't only for beginners however, there is something for everyone:

Awesome talk Al, finally got around to enjoying it. Thank You
Amazing knowledge and just shows the breathtaking scope of discus keeping!
I am returning to discus keeping after my last fish back in 1990 as a 16 year old - now I'm finally settled and can give them the care, space and attention they require.
Looking forward to resuming the exploration! Thanks for sharing such a great intro!

Just watched this video on YouTube and then joined this forum! The video is incredibly informative!!! Thank you Al for all of the advice and tips! :) I think that I'm finally ready to get discus...moving in a few months so it will have to wait until then, but I've been waiting a looooong time! :cheesy:

You can also open your own thread for your tank build up and inform us about it and ask questions along the way.
Looking forward to see your first discus tank .
Great video. I have learned too much. Now I have some decisions to make! Thanks.
Thanks for the video very informative I learned a lot !!
Glad you all are enjoying the video. I was a bit apprehensive about doing it but glad I did.. My thanks go to Joey the DIY King for recording and posting it on his channel.:)
Al, this video was great and very informative! It was also the reason I found this forum and the sponsors I purchased from :)
Hi,
I am New here or your submissions guidance rules are superb & excellent.I got enough information here which is for fish's owner how they keep or how to keep.I am interested in this forum, can i join all of you?
Great video, very informative . Thanks Al. :)
Awesome video...:idea: sparked my interested.
I am slowly converting my reef tank into a fresh water discus tank. :D
Nice video. Great for those who are new to the hobby and also a reminder for those who need to get back to the basics.

I think this video was the one spot for the best information just starting out. It answers a lot of questions and lays it all out, the good, bad, and the beautiful. Every once in awhile I will go back and re-watch parts of it.
Thanks again to Joey and Al- also Ricardo for digging it up again. Everyone who ever considers keeping discus should watch this at least once before buying equipment and fish! Then as a complimentary package, go and read as many stickies as you can cram into your newly expanding, discus keeping brain!
Thanks filip😀
Is there an app or mobile version for simplydiscus? I finally found the post I commented on hahaha
This video was just what I needed to confirm I made the right decision to get into Discus. It was very informative, but not intimidating. I'm new to the forum and Discus and really like what I see here. Thanks for sharing that presentation.
Awesome video. Been many year since i stopped keeping discus.
This vid help me to start planning my journey for discus again.
Thank you.
Glad you guys liked it and found it useful!:)

I watched it recently as well. Great presentation Al. Inciteful and very helpful!
I watched it a few times before taking the plunge, and I have watched it again a couple of times since and with the experience of this first year of discus-keeping I appreciate it even more. It is distilled experience and common sense - no flannell or mumbo-jumbo. To date the best discus tutorial I have come across and what actually made me join this forum (afraid there it may have backfired on Al!)
please send the video link .
Hey! The video is embedded in the first post of this thread.Quote:

Very Informative.
Been a "Wet" pet keeper and "Underwater" gardener for almost 2 years. (I know just a per-schooler compared to most of you). Have been fascinated by Discus since I started. But realized I needed to get some seasoning before I was ready to do my best by these Beauties. Plan on starting a Planted? 125g in the Spring. Of course "Researching and still Learning"
I'll be asking a ton of "Questions", Just be patient with me.
Hi and welcome Joe. This video is a great starting point for every discus begginer . Don't hesitate to ask and debate on any subject about discus here to expand your discus keeping basics .Quote:

I had not seen this video previously. I watched it recently for the first time. Good lessons Al!
Very Helpful video, that also helped me to find this forum :D thank you!
Excellent Video, very informative.
I just wish i had watched it before setting up and buying my discus. i have a planted discus tank with rocks and all the things that you advise not to have. and yes my discus hide behind all the bushy plants and in the middle of the rock exactly as you described. I have been going mad thinking i have bad water. because some have been hiding.
Thank you for this video, I am now in the middle of removing a lot of the crap out my tank and just having a few basic none bushy plants and a little bit of bog wood.
Thanks again
