Spot on information and genuine knowledge from experiences! The no-nonsense and true to fact presentation is just what every discus keeper needed! Magnificent video, thanks!
Thank you for putting out these great videos, Gabriel! It always puts a smile on my face to see the love you put into that hatchery and how much you care about the hobby as well as Jack's legacy. Props to you, man!
So much knowledge my friend!!! I use the same method for my kutubu rainbowfish fry with alot of success!! I want some discus really bad, but they are too expensive for me plus shipping cost and I'm just dreaming at this point
Im a nurse.....would love to move Florida and work there instead!!!!. I have an invention for aquariums at Davison Inventors.....maybe ill have a hatchery someday too. Breeding Discus is what brought my invention to reality!!!
Its what I tell people. You get two to pair off..put them by themselves in a bare tank..no sand or gravel of metal halide lights and lots of plants..none of that. I've seen some beautiful bare tanks..with low but quality lighting that really makes colors pop,and painted a nice dark blue bottom and back..and nothing but a pair of large fat happy Discus. Maybe a java fern on a driftwood. Just a mimimist look. Elegant even. Great your talking beefheart. I think of it as Tubifex without the polluted waters or worm intestines that can harbor who knows what. Once fish acclimate to it?..that and any high shrimp content food is all the balance you need.
My discus have bred and the wigglers have hatched but it’s in a community tank so I’m going to have to strip the babies out very soon rather than leaving them with the parents. Any advise? I always do it with my angels every time they breed, but I’m assuming it’s much harder with discus
Jack Wattley Discus true, I was worried I was dooming them when I pulled them from the parents, but I knew the other fish in the tank would eat them as soon as they were free-swimming. So far they’ve been free-swimming 2 days and seem to be taking to pastes and powdered foods I’ve been preparing and feeding them. Haven’t lost any yet so I’m hoping my success with breeding dozens of other species will help me along with these guys
😊Hello Gabe, I'm currently raising the discus babies artificially. The parents had started eating them when they swam free for a day and started eating mucus from the parents. The little ones are now 14 days old. My question is: What food can I feed you in addition to the artemia, at what age can I give frozen food, freeze-dried artemi and beef heart? I make the beef heart food according to your recipe and the large discus fish like it very much. Thank you very much and stay healthy 😊
Hi Gabe Could you share your feeding regimens. Times line and what you feed at specific intervals? Also if this is done on hobbyist tank could one do a once daily water change at end of last feeding? Any advice?
hi jack, how can we put the discus from different places into the same aquarium. how to prevent the discus plaque. I live in turkey. and there aren't many experts here about discus
@@JackWattleyDiscus please make one video on proper quarantine process from our end, for new discus brought from stores/breeders. There's too many of shared knowledge on internet. Hate to say, but, not all breeders take excellent care of their fishes.
Hi there, I have a lot of AC water being reserved. And I want to keep that refrigerated water in the aquarium I used to keep Discus. I'm hoping to use that water for Discus since it is so soft water has very low TDS. Would it be great if I use that water for to keep my discus?
Can you do a video on Discus tank set up from a flow/current perspective? I know many say low flow, but want to hear your perspective on how to keep surface agitation premium without creating too much current.
I have a pair of discus that laid eggs and now it’s almost 3 days and still not hatched, the eggs did not turn white, is there a possibility that they are not fertilised?
DEAR Gabriel Good day Thank you very much and you really doing nice vedio as usual, please help me if you remember I asked you if I can put 10 discus in 240 L aquarium you advised me with yes , so I bought 2 cobalt blue stendker they are around 9 month old, now it is 4 days and they are refusing to eat ,I increased the tempeture to 32 degree C I put off lights I add some preis coly but still no help. However they look healthy and bright. Is that normal? Do you have any advise ? Thanks once more and belive me you always put a smile on my face and give me motvation. I am from Belgium and I hope you may visit us one day and stay at our home takeing rest and enjoying our spicy sudanes food with the best French wine Thanks
Can discus get stunt growth if in tank or container small? My is 8 gallon water container discus 1 inch do they get big a little more or do i need transfer them to a big tank?
Hello sir you r doin a great job.. I salute you .. I have a question .. What can i feed my discus babies newborn rather than baby brine shrimp .. As i m not getting good hatches of baby brine shrimp .. And when i fed them with those baby brine shrimp .. They started dying ! .. So what can i feed them any other foods?
And sir i had got about 100 babies from my checkrboard but it started dying 2-3 daily .. And now i have none of them .. I fed them with baby brine shrimp. And daily 30-40% wc
What is the first yellow food that is spreading into the aquarium? I don t understand the english word. Is it brancher, what is brancher? :) It s brine shrimp, google helped :) but don t know where I can find this here. A friend will give me his baby discus because he has discus laying eggs always into his aquarium and he don t have time or other aquariums to take care of the babies, so they end up getting eaten every time. I hope I manage to do smth with them.
dam one day ill be able to breed my discus. I currently have a Blue Diamond and a Red Turquoise breeding every week!!! makes me sad i dont have time to tend to them in a seperate tank
We just added 12 discusses, ranging in size from 1.25" to 2.25" in our planted 75gal. They've been actively eating freeze dried Hikari bloodworms and flake food...what would be the ideal food for maximum health and growth? TY
Excelente bravisimo 🔟🏆🥇🙂 gracias Maestro, sabios consejos y es notorio que para llegar al éxito es necesario constante estudio, pasión y amor al trabajo claro ejemplo lo es usted, gracias 😊
Jack Wattley Discus oh ok. I would love to see you experiment with breeding them in a separate tank, that would be amazing to get a line of discus with wild coloration and patterns
Sir my discus babies are 20days old from free swimming I give them baby brine shrimp 4-5 times daily can I give them bhm to them ,? Can they digest it?
@@JackWattleyDiscus Hi Jack, my babies died again. I believe that happens because they ate cysts. I made the cysts hatch and feed the fishes, but minutes after, they died. It happened when they were 12-15 days and with their parents. What do you give to your Fryes, hatched nauplius or excised cysts? Thanks!
Gabe check my channel please am I’m doing something wrong my discus laid eggs again but the male ate the eggs as she was laying them I will be moving them to another tank later when I get that setup this is their second time laying them

20 gallon high will suffice. Same as what we use
👍 good teaching
Really enjoyed and thanks you loads 👌
Excellent and very informative video thanks
Hi Gabe love your videos quick question when should I start feeding my discus babies
3rd day of free swimming if with the parents.
Hello Gabe, are the babies also fed beef heart 4 to 5 times a day in addition to the brine shrimp feedings? Thank you for your time.
Impressive!! Thank you sir!

Artificial breeding with Discus isn't a tip toe through the tulips.

What did you feed them and how often ?
Great video like always.
How much WC do you make daily for the baby discus tank ?
Thanks man
There's a constant water change going on 24/7 and we do 20% daily

Quarantine first and sacrifice one of your own to see what happens.

reserved. And I want to keep that refrigerated water in the aquarium I used to

Yes you can use it. But make sure to not use the sediment which is built up
@@JackWattleyDiscus Thanks for your reply,
AC drained water is very soft but is it having lack of mineral? is this really concerned for discus?
You are also using Enrofloxacin (Baytril) and Erythromycin. Can you please explain the use of these medicines ?
Can you do a video on Discus tank set up from a flow/current perspective? I know many say low flow, but want to hear your perspective on how to keep surface agitation premium without creating too much current.
We will soon be setting up my 270 gallon display tank so you can get ideas.
Looking forward to seeing how to make the beefheart mix..
This week.
I have a pair of discus that laid eggs and now it’s almost 3 days and still not hatched, the eggs did not turn white, is there a possibility that they are not fertilised?
How do you clean baby tank . Do you replace 100 % water in a day
i like your hair man
Best
good tips and knowledge..
if you switch the mating pairs once easy are laying
and turn lights off etc
would they continue fertilisation?
When you say switch what do you mean.
Jack Wattley Discus the males
sorry to be annoying just resources lack on my behalf so most interests are theory for me.
Switching males is done when the male you have is either not fertilizing or eating the eggs. Leave a small light on during the night.
Jack Wattley Discus thanks
hello, can you show how do you poduce that amount of brine shrimp in a daily bases?
Great information sir. But do you know why baby under 2 mounth is die so easily and how to solve them?
Bacteria is 95% of the problem. The other 5% is nutrition.
If bacteria are the problem here, how do you handle it, sir? for your information I replace the water 20% - 30% every two days
@@mlstudio7242 look up the 30 day syndrome video on my channel

Hi can you tell me why my discus fish had baby for a week .they will eat and had a egg again. The time around a week. What it wrong. Thank you

How many time discus breed a year to maintain discus fish quality?
Can discus get stunt growth if in tank or container small? My is 8 gallon water container discus 1 inch do they get big a little more or do i need transfer them to a big tank?
Give them.space to grow

Look up brine shrimp eggs.
How many days old should the fry be before you feed baby brine?
One weeks
@@JackWattleyDiscus thank you
When can we change the TDS of the water to be higher ?
How do you wash those baby brine shrimp?
In the brine shrimp net or whatever you use to strain them, just rinse them off with fresh water.
I use cheese grader with frozen beef heart
Great idea. We use 3 pounds per day so we just thaw a bag overnight and it makes it easier and faster to feed.
dam one day ill be able to breed my discus. I currently have a Blue Diamond and a Red Turquoise breeding every week!!! makes me sad i dont have time to tend to them in a seperate tank

I personally have not. Requirements for breeding them.is a very low pH which doesn't work with the hybrids.
