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!

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.

Hi gabriel, Day 1: I directly added 6 new 3.5 inches discus fish into my display tank measuring 5 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft tank. I already had 20 adult healthy discus housed in that tank for more than a year. The new discus which i added to my tank had very minor fin rot issue with them. I dosed 10 ML API melafix (diluted in 1 lit water) in that tank. Day 2: All discus had settled in corners of tank bottom. Few fish had white patches on them. I did twice 80 % water change on this day. Day 3: The following day the fish came on top corner and they were tightly holding other discus (densely packed) I did 80 % water change on this day. Day 4: I lost 25 % of my fish on this day Twice 80 % WC on this day. Day 5 and 6: On these two days I lost all my fish. My question is who killed my discus ? I love discus. I feel very low after losing my discus. I feel guilty about it.

@pallabsen3359 11 ай бұрын

Hi, Hope you are doing fine, for your clarification i want to say that the disease has been taken by the new discus to all in the community tank. If you see any types of external change then bath all the discus with pottasium permanganate for more than a hour after that add aquarium salt and oxytetracycline medicine in a limited dosage then cover the tank with paper as any kind of light destroy the potential capability of oxytetracycline, then leave it for 24 hours and do the same procedure next day with half dosage and repeat it on the 3rd day with the half dosage of the 2nd day. Do this until they recover but "PP" bath is must for everyday and do not feed them during their treatment. Just only add the vitamins tablets directly into the water so that they can get the essential nutrients from it. During the treatment the temperature of the tank should be higher than as usual. Recommended 32°c. Note - water should be change upto 60% in every 24 hours before the next day treatment begins. Hope it will be helpful. Note- Remove the Pottasium permanganate by adding hydrogen peroxide, then water will come to its original texture within 30 minutes i.e from light blue to colourless.. I am a master in this field if you need any help then comment me here.

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
