I had a discus getting a brown growth on her fin; a second one was broke out in brown dots all over her face. I used Mythalene Blue in my 55-gallon tank. Left it there for about the days, till I was able to see fish again. Did an almost entire water change, and the brown spots and growth are gone. My Plecos didn't mind the treatment either. Took snails and Cory Cats out.
Your fish are second to none. Only a few more weeks and I will have my 55 ready to stock with your beautiful discus. This will be my first time keeping them so hopefully all goes well. I can't wait!!
Gabe, thanks for sharing this. Keep doing the videos they are very helpful. Some of the old school remedies have been forgotten. Thanks for keeping them alive!
I think you do a Special Job for all aquarists !!!! You show them the knowledge that breeders are hiding. GOOD JOB !!!! Best way to have Happy clients !!!
Do pls keep up the priceless info, you are one of the greatest when it comes to black on white information, thank you for all the help and contribution that you share with us all
Hey there, you mentioned paraguard & I just received 7 discus about a week ago & they are slimming up and flashing a bit . I did a dose when I received the fish but the direction are very vague. You say use for 3 days then do a water change but the direction say keep using till problem goes away (usually a week to 2 weeks ) . Of course I know things are a little different for discus so just to confirm do the suggested amount for 3 days only (one cap full every 10 gallons) and add 1 tbs of salt per 40 gallons ? Your help is greatly appreciated
Nice videos tons of great useful tips and tricks 👍👍👍 I had a septicemia outbreak in few of my tanks and I did Bleached them but again it's coming up what is the best medicine for this.
I agree Gabe. Right now there is something going on in my angel fish tank. One didn’t eat for over a week and died 2 days ago. Another is showing the same symptoms. Hiding and not eating. I called my local fish store and they do nothing. I couldn’t believe my ears. I am presently treating my tank with general cure. If I do not see a improvement it will be time to something else but don’t know what. Any thoughts?
Hal sir to maintain breading tank what is the prosiger what we have to take care like eternal bateria and internal bacteria when we have to change the water and how to avoid the decise and water condicion is bad the lot of desis like hitching lies out of the tank for humen bodey we can not complet the hobby
Acrflavine Treatment On treatment time we should keep sponge filter on tank and we should feed the babies. How many days treatment and when water should change
Thx again! Really good videos.. But I'm still looking for a good alternative for metronidazole. Here in the Netherlands we don't have that. Isnt there a good cure for all internal parasites? Something that's easy to get?
Your information is amazing , having all other species in this hobby is soo smoothing except discus previously, but after following you i am so much at ease with my discus keeping. Thanks a lot gabe...
How is PP treatment diffrent than Acriflavin treatment. For how much duration and interval should u give acriflavin treatment? and is there a food gap.to be given pre or post acriflavin treatment? Is there a video for acriflavin treatment?
Have. Here in the UK we can only source acriflavin in liquid form so can you please advise on the appropriate dosage for the liquid version please. Regards!!!
Saludos Gabriel! Excelentes tus videos.. Excelente información.. Pero dijiste que también ños grabarias en español.. Algunos detalles o palabras técnicas me cuesta trabajo entenderlas

Everyone of us is taking benefit from your informative videos Gabe please keep going the same way 🙏 Also make a video of how to differentiate sexes in discus it would be very helpful to us too because of your experience, thanks alot again.
Hi, great info, tks again. Do you have any experience using neem leaves or powder in the tank to treat external fungus, etc.? Ever heard of mixing with beef heart recipe to combat internal problems? There is alot of info on research done for fish farming and other, but little on Discus or angels, wondering on dosage, etc. tks for any reply, much appreciated.
I have been using it for years and it has helped me save alot of my fish at my hatchery. Guys Super information from one of the best.Gabe thanks for putting it out there once again, stay safe bro👏👍🏻 Barbados
Hola ,quería preguntarte a qué se debe que los discos sangren por la nariz después de un cambio de agua. Lo he visto en unas fotos y me intriga saber por qué. Saludos y gracias
Eddy Ortiz, I agree on the prozipro. There was a out break in one of my tanks. I brought a dead fish into the store. The marine bioligist performed a autopsy and said it’s flukes. He said use prozipro and it cleared up the outbreak.😀
@@alejajuacho what works for one person may not work for another. Sounds like prazipro was not effective for you but everyone has a right to make their own decisions without being harped on. Relax. Calm down. This is supposed to be a fun hobby where we can all support each other.
Hi gabe , I’m in the uk I sent you a message a couple of weeks ago how informative your vids are , I bought 8 discus last month different sizes I keep them in a 300 litre tank all doing great but some of the larger ones are pairing up and getting aggressive is there anything I can do , I do have larger aquariums but have Asian arowana in them wouldn’t risk putting them with the arowana. Any feed back would really appreciated
Hello there I love the videos the medication acuafanutral the red one for discus only I have other fish in my tank I have a rainbow shark and 2 gurammy will it be ok
The question of 'salt' should be examined in more detail. How do you deal with fish that are particularly sensitive to salt that after a few seconds of treatment are belly-to-air? Congratulations, well done videos and very interesting
I came from Europe , do love watching Yours videos , here for the External Parasites we use Colombo Morenicol Lernex Pro (MLP) . Lernex Pro is effective against resistant (compared to regular treatment) skin / gill worms & internal worms. Lernex pro contains, among other things, the active substance in resistance: Praziquantel & Nitroscanate.

Hi Gabe! Does anyone know how long it takes Acriflavine Neutral to deactivate? For How many days it can be used in a row? Can it be used daily and for how long? Do we have to do a water change before dosing again? Thanks
@@JackWattleyDiscus Thanks for your reply! So maybe the soil filled with bacteria but the grass on top of the soil, will the grass be able to restrain bacteria to dilute in the water?
Hey Gabe, I really admire you dude! I just have a quick question, not really relatss to the video. The water here in the Chicagolang area is very hard. Ik domestic discus can be in a whole wide or ranges, idk if they will tolerate hard water. Is it fine if I add them to my aquarium, my water parameters are very consistent and never flow around.

Spot on! Acriflavine based meds is widely used in Southeast Asia. There are a few acriflavine based commercial fish meds available in our market.
Gabe your info on medication is invaluable thank you so much for that! Now for my question does this also work for African cichlids?
Yes but my dosages are for discus not for Africans
@@JackWattleyDiscus so none of your videos that deal with medication cross over to other cichlids or fish in general?

Prazipro (prazicuantel)
is not effective !!
Don't lose your money.... Bilocil or wormer plus are the best!
