Gabe, I abolutely loved the info. For the last three years I've been looking at my well water quality and found little info on how to accurately measure, blend with RO, and apply to my tanks. Your 20 minute explanation is more than three years of research!!! These type of videos are sorely needed in the hobby. I'm forever grateful and will be stalking your channel going forward.
Dr J-wattley, back from dawn. Pls keep me/us posted. Much love from Amsterdam
Gabe is the mvp when it comes to these discus and other fish as well my bf talks highly of him awesome content keep up the great work
Man we need more of your discus expertise Gabe. Thank you keep the content coming.
I'm always excited when you put stuff out bro
The long awaited video from Jack wattley! Love it
I'm a believer. I followed your advice and I got wigglers yesterday.
How did they do
@@adamtwomey3183 at first, the eggs turned white. When I got their RO unit, the next batch turned dark and hatched in 3 days. However, I removed them too soon from parents and after 2 months they began dying because I didn't switch them to beefheart soon enough. But I'll just keep trying.
@@donaldwilson1819 best of luck with that 🙏
well done brother

Thank you, Gabe. This is excellent information. I got wigglers once, but maybe I can do better with this info.
Great information. Thank you so much.
Fantastic video thank you so much!!
Thanks for unreserved sharing as always. I am at Malaysia where there are lots of top breeders but I could only learn from Gabe for all discus tips, and I have been successful in hatching and growing fries. Thanks again.
Thanks for your great information
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Greetings from Germany

Well done thank you very much for your helpful information please go on waiting for more
Useful information Gabe, thanks a lot
Great video I would love to one day be able to breed my Discus this video was very informative enjoy watching your videos you’re the man
Thank you so Much Gabe for the Very Informative Video. It helped me Clarify on the proper water conditions that is Needed. As with many I have had several Spawns on multiple Pairs but ran into wrong Water parameters for proper hatching. It was getting Frustrating to say the least. With your Video It all made sense and now I am on my way to proper success. Thank you very much!
Super cool video there and thanks for the great expert share and thanks for so welling to share your very good experiences :D , last time i have two pairs of discus fishes in my 5ft tank and my discus eggs hatched with many babies but i dont have spare tanks to raise the babies flies , i saw the babies eat off the parents discus fishes , the experience was so amazing and the two parents will protect their fries so aggressively and was so fun to watch. and i used a full planted tank as well , i found that discus with plants are good as the plants will balance off the ph, kh and gh as well. i had also recent went to Singapore discus breeder as well and it was so fun
Welcome beck! I missed your videos! ✌️
this video is awesome... priceless for me...
welcome back sir
Thanks Gabe! More Videos please
Amazing Beautiful Discus Gabe
After long Time ❤️
Thank you very much for sharing knowledge
Excelente video e información. Gracias por compartir tu experiencia y tiempo. Bendiciones.👍🙏🏻
Thank you Gabe!
Gabe, Thankyou for the video. I just set up a tank for discus. George Wheeler from AQUATIC CONCEPTS highly recommended you to purchase my discus from. That’s what I am going to do. My tank cycled. To error on the side of caution I am going to let it run for about another 6-8 weeks. Look forward to placing my order for my new wet pets. Take care. Respectfully, Martin B.
Thank you giving more info about discus , 🤙
Thank you very much, you're a good man.
Top draw Jack watley would be so pleased he left his prodigy in your hands
🙏
🙏🏼
The route map to discus is back... Gabe 🎉
thank you sir Gave Posada...!
Thank you Gabe for your Experience and Hope for Us. May the God of your understanding Bless you and your family forever... Best of Energy 💙
Amén
Thank you Gave for explaining that, most videos in the tube explaining water chemistry say the same thing, put some seachem alkaline in your water and you are good to go, so thank you again
My angelfish water TDS is 500 and adult discus are kept at 100 TDS. Informative video 👍
Thank you Gabe. I'll use this info to help me with my corys and pleco eggs that fungus up and don't hatch. Thank you!!!
You live thousands of years and help us. You are the person who inspired me to keep discus. I may be far from you seven seas between us but you are my GURU ( Master) in this hobby.
GOD bless you. Thank you my sensei for sharing your knowledge.
With respect and love ❤

Thank you for such important information. I have discus in my aquarium but unfortunately I do not do anything about breading
Great video and presentation anyway.
Very informative.
Thank you for this video
Glad you enjoyed it.
Best discus breeder in the 305 there’s a reason why I spend my hard-working money in supporting his business and I just love hearing people saying discus are a hard fish to keep 😂😂😂 wrong my first ever fish tank I started with them and believe it or not guess who I bought them from the one and only
Ahhhhh the answer to my problem! You need to write a book Gab! I know I would buy it.
Sorry for the miss spell
Great video. Appreciate sharing this knowledge. Más vídeos por favor 😀. Gracias.
Gabe Posada you are the man. You are the single most honest person i know, next to jesus. This is huge.
So i am on RO to keep my discus anyway, but after re-mineralizing my water is close to 200ms. RO is 10ms.
What is even your advise on the "keeping" parameters that would be the next video i would need ;) dont feel pressured i am so glad there are people like you and like Jack Wattley Discus in general.
Best wishes from Germany.
thank for this info
Awesome thanks
Thanks Gabe🤗 thankfully my well water has low conductivity, and the eggs hatch🤗
Is TDS and Conductivity same?
My borewell water TDS is 600 +
Beautiful
Really thanks
gracias por la informacion eres el mejor man
thanks Gabe
Thanks for very informative video Gabe. On your next video kindly show your equipments how to make RO water. Thank you very much and best wishes.
You are the best
thank you.
Awesome
I want to thank you so so much for the great video! The first clutch after watching that video, atleast 15 times, hatched. I am so excited. I was ready to give up.
Awesome. Enjoy!
All hail! This man is going to make us rich..

First of all Gabe, kudos to you for being so genuine and willing to share your knowledge.
I have a couple questions that haven't been answered. Firstly we know the water parameters for hatching the eggs but is RO water needed after they've hatched? Or put another way, how soon after can we begin to relax the RO? I have a 6 inch pair that I have at 2 weeks now after 7 aborted attempts, the female is a Blue Turquoise and the male is a Brilliant Blue Turquoise and is very metallic. The female is doing all the work because the male seems unable to develop a slime coat. I'm starting the brine shrimp as early as I can to help but is this common in the metallic varieties or could he be "past it"? Thanks Gabe for all you do.
Gracias x el video, lo q entendí es q el ph debe ser de 5.5 a 6.5 y conductividad 22 us pero eso es para la reproducción y los parámetros para la cría del disco digamos diario osea no en época de reproducción?
Lovely
You are the most brutal honest breeder I have ever come across. I tried to breed apisto & GBR without success after following other TH-camrs recommendations. Maybe I better try put into practice what you thought us today. I will give Discus a try but i find hard to sex between male & female. 🤔. Thanks a lot. Subscribe now.
Thankyou
I found your video very educational I’ve tested my RO water and my conductivity reads .12 uS but my water from the softener reads the same .12uS my well water reads 1.22 uS I don’t see a difference between RO and softener water I’m using a high quality Myron meter is it possible the softener water is suitable?
I think I just figured it out my meter reads in KCI uS so I believe it means my water is 120 uS my membrane is probably shot
Nice video and very informative as always. How often do you need to calibrate the hand held units? So what is the water conditions to get non breeding discuss pair up and start laying eggs and breeding? Two on my discus paired up and layed eggs in a community tank. I moved then to a breeding tank. They never layed eggs. Was in that tank for 3 months. Kept the water parameter same as the community tank. Ph 6.6 GH 5 and KH2. Temp I increased in to about 85F. Not a breeder just a hobbyist.
Thank you for such an informative video I would like to know if you could create a video about different color varieties and cross breeding different color varieties what results could result from cross color breeding
Hi Gabe. Nice to learn this video. I want to ask you about when the pair is produce eggs and going to process hatch the egg, may i add some vitamin, or salt mineral, or tablet mineral? Or i just keep it low ppm. Thanks for this and nice to ask you.👍🏻
Excelente vídeo deberías hacerlos en Español este mismo para todos los de habla Hispana.
It seems like I would contend with conductivity more than ph levels. I can’t wait to try.
Hi Jack I love your video.
I have a question. I used RO water PH 7.5 and uS 0 . But when I use axit photphoric like your video to down ph 6.0 then uS up to 180-200 .
How can I down ph 6.0 and keep uS 20-40 like you.
Thank you so much.
Gabriel, thank you very much for your valuable information. I want to ask for your help: My clutches of discus fish become detached from the spawning tube and fall to death (or death and fall) as soon as they hatch, about two days before free swimming. Apparently normal water parameters. I do not use osmosis but I do use cationic resin and I have added a little bit of hydrogen peroxide at the end of laying to increase hatching instead of methylene blue. My conductivity is 180 micro siemens and the PH is 7.2. The initial hatching rate is great about 90%. And parents take care the offspring very well and came from different hatcheries.
