Potassium Permanganate (PP) 3min Dip on Discus

Potassium Permanganate (PP) Dip = 3minutes @ 0.32gram (1/24 tsp) per 5gallons.
Water Color: Dark Purple = Active, Red/Brown = Exhausted
Big water change to clear PP from bucket/tank (hydrogen peroxide or Seachem Prime can be used to deactivate PP)

[@SuperMan-xy8ui]

Thanks for posting this! Assuming that the potassium permanganate is pure, 0.32 grams in 5 gallon dip would be a concentration of 16.8 mg/L (assuming my calculations are correct). Likely more like 4 gallons is placed into a 5 gallon bucket so the concentration would be higher. Thanks again for posting this.

[@alanaduncombe8078]

should 1 dip fix the problem or can you do again after a few days on the same fish

[@Bigpoecilia]

Can you tell me about your rack system for the 55 gallon tanks?

[@mihaiberbecar4119]

Hi you can tell me that they will be nice what the exact amount of potassium parchment for one liter of water and the one of oxygenated water for one liter of water thank you, I respectfully greet you, I have a lot of discussion chicks that die for me up to 30 days and I would like to make them the treatment shown by yours

Does pp work on septecepia?

[@sandycheeks7506]

This is great, Is this better than like ick-x and for the 4 hour bath you would use less PP?

[@GVBDiscus]

Sandy cheeks 4hr bath is 2mg/L or .076gram per 20gallons

[@GVBDiscus]

and i do not use ich-x so i cannot comment on that unfortunately

[@sandycheeks7506]

Yea I saw the other video you post after I saw this one sorry !

[@avinashnbhatt]

Wouldn't you keep them in a different tank for observation ?

[@abdullah1969K]

Hi

[@leo2o915]

[@jameshemanthraj2041]

Hello Sir. I'm from India. Can you share us the best quarantine procedure.? Cos there are lots of mixed suggestions going around. And few chemical are not available in few countries.

[@TroyRossberg]

How often do you do this dip to your discus on a monthly basis?

[@somchitphol613]

How often do you do the treatment ? Is it a one time thing ? Thanks.

[@GVBDiscus]

as needed but I wouldnt do it more than once in a week. it is best as a once or twice treatment.

[@arshiyanaz2675]

Do I need to turn off the canister 303b filter during treatment in tank?

[@Maximaomega]

so the targets is around 16ppm for 3min bath.
am i right?

[@paulpreston4459]

So what your saying on a 350ltr tank 79 gallons you use 5 grams of pp ?

[@raphael_gnomo]

Great tips, thanks!

[@addicttofit6601]

Can I use this method in flower horn

[@normanrobitaille8520]

What are your thoughts on giving a PP bath on a planted aquarium some people say you can and some people say you can’t

[@todortodorov1710]

Norman Robitaille I did on my community planted tank, no issue at all, I’ve use 1g PP per 100gal. Hop this help.

[@GVBDiscus]

I personally would not. If you can put the fish in buckets that would be best.

[@anthonypautin]

learning alot!

[@zhengpakho]

Do you know why my water turned brown only after 10 mins I added PP? (I added 2mg/L)

[@anthonyweaver8987]

Yes that means the pp is done and change water 25-30,% or hydrogen peroxide depends on your tank size will clear the water

[@addicttofit6601]

My flower horn bby is opening his mouth again and again and having some problem what shall I do
