Raising Baby Discus: Preventing the 30 Day Syndrome

Рет қаралды 129,543

5 жыл бұрын

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.

@kernalbert4939 Жыл бұрын

@@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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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
