I really love your videos you know what you are talking about when you recommend people something where there is too many people give so silly information through the TH-cam and I can clearly say he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, thank you for everything you helped me with
Hi Gabe used to call you and Jack back in late 80's early 90's before internet with the "HELP MY FISH ARE SICK"you guys always helped me out I appreciate that
I could listen to you educate all day. I am a novice in this hobby with one 5.5 gallon tank and one 20 gallon high tank. I would love to have a Discus tank some day. I am no where near there but it is a long term goal.
Gabriel, thank you very very much for making this and all your videos. I am a fairly new discus keeper and although my fish are healthy (so far), I am trying to get a lot smarter regarding their care. I’m also in the process of buying a couple of new discus from your website. As expensive as they are, I want to be armed with every bit of information on keeping them that I can find and you are helping make the process a lot easier. Keep it up and know you are appreciated!
You made some good points. The old wood in the tanks contributing to the anaerobic bact issue is one I've not ever considered. All points are well taken. Thanks!
I think you are more of an expert than most on youtube. Even though I am into Bettas I have learn a lot of good stuff from you that could be applied to bettas. So I am watching every video you put out. I am sure Bettas are much easier than Discuss, but I am learning medications and cheap muriatic acid to adjust PH and that sort of thing. Just bought a reverse osmosis filter to clean up fish waist water after pre filtering in a DIY canister filter. Now studying products like Equilibrium to add back minerals and such. City water can be expensive, so reusing it would cut cost of water changes. Who knows...the chemicals could be just as high, but I won't know unless I try it. Anyway, I am glued to your channel. Keep up the good work.
Dearest mr. Jack it's always a pleasure listening to your comments and directions. Very useful. We have a case of a male Discus grade A++, parts of a working pair. It started to have swim bladder issue swimming in circles but standing straight. We tried thermal treatment of 32 degrees centigrade temperature with adding Epsom salt for a week now. He continues to stand straight but swimming circles upside down. We need please further advice from you.
Good Morning I hope you are fine and thank you for this vedio I remain thankful for the the advise you gave last week about my new discus they are now moving and start eating better, I noticed today at one of the fishes a hanging boo in her stomach is that a problem ? and how to treatet the good thing it was like brown boo, so please advise what shall I do ? Thank you very much
This is your first video I am watching. I impressed with crisp & clear to the point info. Thanks for that. Can you bit elaborate on Metro treatment please. Like tablet or liquid to be used? etc. Thanks
Hey Gabe thank you so much for all your videos & advice etc. I've watched so many and they've really helped me. So I am based in the UK and have an issue with one of my Discus. I've had them now since the end of July this year, so not too long only a few months. But after only a few weeks, one of them developed red nostrils that sometimes with various treatments I can get to go away for a short time. But it always comes back! I've currently got her in a hospital tank... using aquarium salt that I thought had worked! But now this evening after giving some food it is back again! ... so frustrating and I'm really struggling to find online what it is to be sure (I think possibly Hemorrhagic septicemia bacterial infection). I can not get metronidazole here in the UK as it is not available and also other treatments/antibiotics readily available in the US/Oz etc. But I would be so grateful if you can help me identify with certainty and recommend treatment. Also, when it gets worse my discus also has reddening on the pectoral fin near the armpit this goes and again comes back at times. I have tried so far, melafix first, then aquarium salt, she also developed bloat so I have used Epsom salt that sorted that out. I've tried a course of Octozin (with no effect) and also a course of Myxazin with no effect... the aquarium salt and/or Melafix seems the most effective temporarily getting rid of it... but always only a temporary fix. I currently have the salinity at 2500ppm upped today to 2800ppm after researching and reading some forums etc. that mentioned doubling a dose etc. which I'm unsure if going to 5000ppm would be OK This treatment course has been 4days already and I really thought I had made progress until this evening and it looks just how it has been ! I've dewormed my Discus I have 8 and the water quality has been maintained religiously! All other fish are perfect all eating well and thriving. This one eats no problem and is active no other issues other than the red nostrils/red pectoral fin 😔 I hope you can help me and many thanks again... By the way WOW such amazing quality discus you guys have I'd love to visit some day and perhaps buy from you some day too if ever possible 😂🙏❤️🐠
Thank you for taking the time to post this. I have a quick question about your recommendation when treating Discus with metronidazole for 10 days. Is the daily application once or three times (once every 8 hours)? Thank you in advance.
Hi Jack, Thanks for all the advice, which is very helpful in dealing with problems related to rearing of Dicus. I have a 8 foot tank with Discuss and other Discus friendly fish. On and off one or two of my Discuss get a few blistors on their body. These blisters dont erupt but grow in size. The fish stops eating, gets to a corner, and eventually dies. I wonder if the information I have provided would suffice to diagnose the sickness. Obviously, it's a bacterial intection, isn't it? Nalin
Hi Gabriel, a quick question on the treatment with Metro, do you need to do a water change after the 8hr if not when will you do the water change during that 10-day cycle.
How do I treat ick. I have a 150 gallon tank i use RO water and do 1/3 water changes every 5 days temp at 29 Celsius. Two of my discus are showing off on their mouth

Can you put the epsom salts in a planted tank or will the salt kill the plants?
Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate. It's a fertilizer

Hi dear.... what can I get to treat my discus instead of metronidazole, because can not get in uk
This is your first video I am watching. I impressed with crisp & clear to the point info. Thanks for that.
Can you bit elaborate on Metro treatment please. Like tablet or liquid to be used? etc.
Thanks
Powdered metronidazole and we use one gram for every 20 gallons of water this is done 10 days straight
Thanks Jack , Filter should be off or can be used without carbon & sponges?
@@naxatra4u all filters on to kill the bad bacteria there as well. You shouldn't be using carbon at all.
Thanks Jack for such fast response
Hello. I just want to ask you about how many times do give metronidazole in a day (for 10 days daily)? Thank you and keep in good health.👍🏻
He said every 8 hrs
Only once a day till 10days 👍after 8hrs change 50% water daily

@@JackWattleyDiscus Thank you
Wonderful video, very well done :)
Can you treat the whole tank? or do you have to seperate them?
Gab. thank for your information 😍
Awesome explanation.. I couldn't get metro in UAE any alternative to metro recommended?
thanx for your advises ........what causes swollen lips and how to cure.....
Awesome 👍👍👍
Please do a video about septicemia and how to treat that
Thank you sir. ❤❤❤
Is The meds "Eisha Hexamita" good för Discus? Does it have that thing that you talked about?
Very informative and helpful, thanks for sharing. Desperately waiting for other video like this. Thanks!
Great videos! What medicine do you use for the internal parasites?
Metronidazole or prozyquantel
Hi Jack,
Thanks for all the advice, which is very helpful in dealing with problems related to rearing of Dicus.
I have a 8 foot tank with Discuss and other Discus friendly fish. On and off one or two of my Discuss get a few blistors on their body. These blisters dont erupt but grow in size. The fish stops eating, gets to a corner, and eventually dies.
I wonder if the information I have provided would suffice to diagnose the sickness. Obviously, it's a bacterial intection, isn't it?
Nalin
Very informative video. I would love to see something about the "Black Death". Is there anything that can be done when this happens?
Great video sir.
Can you make demo video of this treatment
THANKS A MILLION GUYS
Hi Gabriel, a quick question on the treatment with Metro, do you need to do a water change after the 8hr if not when will you do the water change during that 10-day cycle.
Metro has a shelf life of 8 hours in water. Do your water changes whenever you want. Doesn't have to be daily.
@@JackWattleyDiscus hi Jack. In the UK what vmcan you use? Metro seems to be an American product? Tha ks sir. Live your videos.
(Flagyl) from your pharmacist
hello Gabriel, i was wondering what is the variety of these discus fish on your bottom right. the tank with "Baby" written on it
How do I treat ick. I have a 150 gallon tank i use RO water and do 1/3 water changes every 5 days temp at 29 Celsius. Two of my discus are showing off on their mouth
Easy way is Seachem Paraguard if you can get your hands on it.
Great info as always, I'm having some of my angelfish with what its look like bloating. tk you i will start the treatment
Sir, Thankyou for this informative vedio.
