External Parasites And Discus Fish
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 เม.ย. 2020
- One problem that we always have with discus is that we start seeing the body slime start to build up. That is usually caused by external bacteria building up in the system. External bacteria are going to build up in a system, whether we want to or not. Obviously, the more water changes that we do, the more maintenance that we do, the lower we can keep that bacterial count.
Eventually, it starts to build up when people move gravel around, things around, the next thing you know, the discus start to slime up, they start to pinch their fins, the eyes start to get cloudy. When you see that happen, that is usually a sign of external problems.

I love these videos because the advice is always SOLID. Thank you, Gabe!
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?
I meant to call you Javier Duenas.
...they said to do nothing. Sorry about of the spelling mistakes.
The angelfish may have been constipated.
Thanks Gabe for this useful video..

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?

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.
Saludos Gabriel! Excelentes tus videos.. Excelente información.. Pero dijiste que también ños grabarias en español.. Algunos detalles o palabras técnicas me cuesta trabajo entenderlas
Thank u
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.
Mlp jest huja warte.
Thanks. 👍
informative. thanks
excellent
Excelentes videos, por favor más en español. Gracias saludos
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
pls. talk about your automatic change water more detail for the baby discus fish
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
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?
I added acraflavin from you now that it’s in how long do I leave it in when do I water change ….. what now and THANK YOU
Nice video , i did it last week and it Works perfect.
war2slayer which med did you use and to treat what?
@@martyborst5645 i used just salt with no jodium. Against worms and fungus. Btw ik ben rick borst en kom uit noord Holland.
war2slayer Hi there. I only speak English so I didn’t understand the last sentence. I am Dutch. My parent is from Amsterdam.
@@martyborst5645 i live near Amsterdam , Assendelft , are we family 😉
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?
@@gabrielalonso7840 each strain is different.
hi, gabe, could you give some ideas for sump system like you do in your hatchery. Gracias muchas!!
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
Is there a treatment for dropsy, Epsom salt isn't working? What causes it ? And why there are not much symptoms untill the discus starts bloting and dies with in a day or two? How to prevent it from happening? Requesting you to make a video on this...my two discus dies within 2days.
Nos a servido de mucho su información es excelente , pero por favor nos falta que también siga haciéndolo en español saludos y gracias
is it fine if we ad lit rock salt after every watwr change or we should put it only while treatment ?
Can we use acriflavine on a regular basis, like for maintenance? say dosing once a month..is this good or not really advisable. Tnx
Buenas tardes Gabriel.
Volveremos algún día a disfrutar de tus videos en Español nuevamente?.
Muchas gracias y un saludo desde España.

Buenas Gabriel porque ya no asen videos en español la información era super buena
Le agradecería que hiciera el vídeo también en castellano. Pero si tiene problemas con la lengua, también se podria subtitular.
Muchas gracias!
Él hace videos en ambos idiomas... esperemos a ver si lo hace en español.
Ustedes mismos pueden colocar los subtítulos en el idioma que quieran. pueden guiarse con este vídeo: th-cam.com/video/7KzRDYT64ps/w-d-xo.html
Hola buenas....donde puedo encontrar la misma información que estás proporcionando pero en español
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!!!
Go based on the dosage on the bottle
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
Remember that we specialize in discus. Thank you.
Muy buen video, ojalá que puedan hacerlo en español, gracias y buen día

Acriflavine might be rough on the tank mates.
How is sechem stress guard in terms of preventing secondary infections. Also what kind of salt do you recommend Epson salt or just rock salt . Thanks man
Seachem Paraguard is the cure. Prevention is the Acriflavine and salt.
