Raising Baby Discus: Preventing the 30 Day Syndrome
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 เม.ย. 2019
- How do you stop the infamous 30-day syndrome when raising baby discus fish? We use potassium permanganate. In our hatchery we have a 200-gallon system and based on my measurements, we use two grams for the entire system. We're going to show you how we do it in our system but remember one thing - this is for the professionals and your measurements will be different.

My pleasure. Sharing makes the hobby grow. Also more enjoyable.
@@JackWattleyDiscus You are 100% why I've recently gotten into the Discus hobby 4 months ago!!
Thanks sir...your video is very helpful it teaches stuffs which no one says and that too in such a simplified manner 🙏🙏 from INDIA.
Hi Gabe! Incredible! Already did the math for a 75 gallon tank... thanks so much. Love your channel and your facility! Oh yeah, especially your fish!
Hi, how many grams then? TIA
@@rmmc5554 That's not the issue. One gram per 100 gallons equals .75 grams for 75 gallons. The issue is Permanganate kills everything including your nitrifying bacteria. Commercial guys can use the stuff because they do MASSIVE water changes CONSTANTLY.
do you sell
potassium G?
Thanks gabe! You are amazing my friend!
Thanks Gabe!! You're a straight up good dude.

Wow thanks sunshine.
Hi and thank you for your video from France :)
Thank you so much Gabriel (Y)
Muchas gracias. Los disfrutaré mucho y aprenderé lo bonito del mundo del pez disco.
Thx mate.. u r an angel on this aquatic world..
That was good knowledge .
Thanks Gabe
Thank’s very much for that very important information!
What ‘s the percentage of the peroxide?
Thank’s once more, master!
Very informative.
Tnk u for sharing this info sir gabe..
Your very smart and informative
Great teacher @gabriel posada
Very helpful video sir Thankyou
Very interesting.
Superb well explained informative 🔥👍🙏
Thankyou.
Sir kindly make a video of treating planted discus tanks with potassium permanganate, and tell us the proper dosage of PP which will not damage the boilogical filters🙏
Amazing
For home hobbyists, you can just use hydrogen peroxide. It is an oxidizer like PP but a bit safer and doesn't stain. I dose 5ml/10 gallons. You can kill fish if you dose too much.
Thanks Gabe !👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
Thank you....would LOVE to retire in a hatchery!!!
wow.... U r the Boss ...!!!!
Thank you GABRIEL POSADA at Jack Wattley for sharing this. I have been using this system and my Discus do not have 4 week syndrome anymore. It took forever to learn this step by step from friends and the little i found to read about it, hence why I appreciate hearing it from you. Hardly any info about this magical treatment out there especially neutralizing with hydrogen peroxide.. Very much appreciated
No secrets any more. I am here to promote the hobby not bury it.
@@JackWattleyDiscus That is correct and I know this as all your videos including metro, lowering PH and lots more you have shared is some of the hardest things i have hard to learn in this hobby over the years, hearing you explain so well instills the confidence to go ahead with what I do and correct, perfect, what I am doing. Really wish I met you a few years back :) Thank you kindly
Thanks a lot Gab
My pleasure.
...you are the man bro... / ...tu eres un caballo hermano...
am really new to this hobby and your topic is really informative to us newbies. I actually had a flowerhorn but died few months ago due to fluke. I used liquid treatment like Prazi Gold but found no positive result from it and he got weaker and weaker as day went by and i feel so helpless about it. Ill gonna treat my whole tank including my canister filter with PP to kill those nasty parasites before I set it up again. Thank you Sir :)
Tk you for the wealth of info you are giving us, may I ask how we can do it at home and if I can use it to clean bio media, driftwood, etc. asking cause I'm setting 1k gal tank and I'm using same media from my old tank. Tks again
No need to desinfect if you're setting up new.
it's awesome,,,,, superb
hats off man
Buenas noches, soy un principiante de discos y la verdad me parece muy buenos vídeos y bien explicados. El único inconveniente que no entiendo inglés y me cuesta mucho intuir lo que explicas. Tienes vídeos en Español y son buenísimos, por favor hazlos en los dos idiomas. Gracias y un saludo desde España
El mismo en Español sale en tres días. Estamos haciendo todos lo vídeos en los dos lenguajes
Hello sir ur videos are very informative
I have a 120 litre tank at my place
And have 9 discuss in there around 2.5 inches
Few of them fins are clamped and 2 of them have turned black in color also i saw today one or two scratching there body and shaking their head
Hi Gabe thanks for the share good info of video. Just a quick one u said once a week and how long need to carry on to do. And would it affect for good beneficial (nitrifying) bacteria.Many thanks
Tremendo!!!!
Sabes más de medicina que yo!!!!
Oye no es para tanto.🤣🤣
Thank you sir
Excelente encontrar los vídeos en español e inglés
Me podría pasar el link en español
Hi Gabe, greetings from London. Thanks for the great videos you giving to us! Can I use this method in tank with grown up discus? Thank you!
Yes you can
Thank you!
crystal clear
Crystal clear
Thanks
Well explained thanks 🙏
Is it safe to use PP with catfish/scaleless fish to treat flukes.
Thank you for these videos!!! It should be mentioned that potassium permanganate will also kill beneficial (nitrifying) bacteria.
I was thinking the same thing and assumed that it would not be recommend for a planted community tank.
With so much water change for baby fish, don't need any cycled filter.
Hi Gabe. Congratulations for the service you do for discus enthusiasts.
I would like some advice please.
I am a discus rearer and new to the hobby.
I have 2 40 gallon tanks that I have 6 checker boards and 7 powder blues in seperately in each one. I wanted to age my water which comes fr9m a dug well. I have a 500litre plastishell tank. In the process of aging can, and should i use your method of pp + hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the water I age a tankful at a time?
Please give a vedio with details information how to treatment a discus fish suffering from "Swime bladder disease"
your so geniuses , I'm from sri lanka thank you
GREAT..........
So according to the video footage..for 100 gallon = 1 gram of Potassium permanganate. For 150 gallon = 1.5 grams. For 50 gallons = 0.5 grams. And if we canister filter and not sump, then directly in the tank?. And how much hydrogen peroxide per 100 gallons of water. Your footage is always reliable and compact with knowledge based information. Thank you sir.
Hola Gabriel, por favor realiza este video en español, es muy importante aprender este tratamiento para la comunidad disquera de habla hispana, muchas gracias.
Paciencia!
Hey can you do a video on how to grow discus to there full potential
When should i do first pp treatment for discus fry...
I had bunch breeding pairs n got the 30 day syndrome n all my babies died basically gave up kept happening great info
Another great video I had no idea that you could use hydrogen Peroxide in a fish tank. Trust me if I ever needed to ask anybody it would be you your videos are great
Hello Gabe and first of all, thanks for you teach us your 22 years experience.
One question because e made that treatment in my fries.
What i should have do, If the color of PP don't chance?
My tank have the purple color for about one hour and the color stay the same or low diference, the fishes are fine and i put the hydrogen peroxide because i have afrais to sicken the fries.
I made right or i can let the PP react as long as need.
Thanks in advice and best regards.
Big hug from Portugal.
Can u make a video on using Acriflavin M treatment please??

Gracias por el contenido, saludos desde España. Estaría de madre si lo recopilases todo en un libro. Te forrarías.
Estamos entre tantas cosas con esa misma idea. Gracias
@@JackWattleyDiscus Gracias a usted , me encantan sus videos. De los mejores caneles de youtube de acuariofilia, me han resuelto muschas dudas. Sigan así y que vaya todo muy bien.
First of all I just wanted to say I absolutely love your channel I have a question how old do the baby discus need to be before I can give them a PP bath
From the time they're laid. I don't stop my cycle at the hatchery it is done on a regular basis regardless of how old the fry are. Thanks.
Hi Gabe can you do this treatment to pleco hatchlings? Meaning the fancy plecos such as L046 zebra plecos? Thank you in advance
hello friend, for a 100-liter aquarium, what is the dosage of potassium permanganate, and what is the dosage of hydrogen peroxide, after the water turns brown, uses hydrogen peroxide to remove the brown color, after that it is necessary to make a partial change of Water? or is not presiso? I can pour the permanganate directly into the aquarium, or dilute first, since I don't have a sump, I can do it in the community aquarium with plants, botia palhaço, coridoras etc ... thank you very much and good work
Hai...I have some collection for discuss fish in my home ,out of that one pair having some white cloudy eyes .just give the medical advise to treat them at the earliest.
while treating with potassium permanganate, does it kill the good bacteria in the sump ??
Hi sir i want to know that hydrogen peroxide which we get on medical store we can use that
Pp powder is super highly concentrated. Can understand the unit of measurement used as they are likely of 99% concentrate.
But h2o2? I have seen 12%, 3% concentrations. For an example of 5ml/10 gal, what kind of concentration are we looking at? 3%? 1%? Or 20% as they make alot of difference and h2o2 can burn skins if not handled well or at high concentration.
Hi sir love from india. You are a lovely guy. Please make a video regarding medication during breeding process.
Lovelyyyy
Hi, I have learned alot from your video. Do you have any advice on how to select potential juvenile discus when purchasing from a local fish store ?
Try purchasing from a breeder
Hello everyone! Hope someone can help. I have a 90 liter aquarium with discus fry. How can I calculate, in European standards how much pp I should use and how much I have to add to the 1 liter bottle and how many ml I should add to the aquarium? Hope somebody can help me out. 1 fry is already dead.. 😭
