"Last thing I want is to have long hair and be shipping out white powder..." LMAO!!!!!!
👍😂😂
😂🤣
😂😂 such a good sport
Can anyone explain the joke to me? I don't get it... Wanna laugh too please
What an idiotic comment 😕
Nos ayudaría mucho realizando lo en español también de antemano muchas gracias
GABE....thanks for YOUR time to educate all of us less knowledgeable. TIME is precious and not redeemed....the most appropriated gift.....is that of YOUR time.....PEACE OUT ✌
You are one of the reasons i recently purchased my discus
Hi gabe is it possible to show a close up video of your overflow system
@@mohamedfaiqhamid5830 there is one.
I thought you were going to say the flow of the inlet rate when water changing. Slowly
Agree his knowledge and passion is infectious !!! In a good way !
Wow! First time I’ve heard about frozen bloodworms causing parasites in fish! Is this for all brands or just specific ones? I thought that the bloodworms are sterilized first before they are frozen.
Hi Gabe I’ve been keeping tropical fish since 1961 and first bred AND raised Discus in the 1970’s. What I love about the hobby is that you never stop learning. I love your enthusiasm and enjoyed this video. Thank you for adding to my knowledge bank - the 8 hour metro info was new to me 🤓👍
My pleasure. Nothing wrong with learning. We all do it on a daily basis
Had to do a 3 month preventive treatment so re-watch ed the video to make sure I don't miss any notes 📝.
Like button is already pressed, lots of thanx.
Hello Sir i hv cichlid fishes & i was facing same internal parasite issue from last 4 months due to this issue my 3 fishes died i was thinking that its constipation but after watching your video i got confirmed about internal parasite. i also had cichlid fries in same 90 gal tank in net breeding box, but as u said treat complete tank so before i was worried about fries but as i did't hv any other option so i did 10 days treatment (from 26 July to 4th Aug, 7am to 5pm) with 10 tablet of Flagyl 400 mg (10*400=4000 mg = 4 grams for 90 gal tank) daily change 20% water, last day on 4th Aug changed 50% water, also i hv added very little medicine in feed after every 2nd day as my 1 fish was not eating which was more ill other all was eating, Thanks GOD all fries and fishes remain safe & all became normal. Thanks for your detailed & effective video.
Excelente Información muy buen video pero de verdad le agradecería mucho si lo pudieras repetir en español 1000 gracias
Gabe ! Seriously you have taught me so much about fish keeping with your educational videos towards discus. The majority of this is information is pretty general for all fish . Your the goat 🐐 Gabe. Thanks for the effort you put into these videos.
Comes from the heart. It's the hobbyist in me. Thanks for watching.
Gabe Posada
Really sir it is very much informative thank you very much
Very important info.
How many times to feed deworming with feeding? Onze Day or more?
Hi Gabe,
Im Joseph from India, What about the beefheart mix that is frozen and how do we mix it with metro powder, The bhm which I purchased is not solid like yours and more like paste, so when we defreeze it, it becomes like liquid and how do i mix the powder? Should i freeze it back and then give? that would be a hassle…
That's loaded with water. That's why when you defrost it it turns into soup.
@@JackWattleyDiscus ok i filtered all the water and added some crushed pellets to form a thick consistency, I'll try defrosting it tomorrow to add the powder..
Hi Gab. I'm waiting on that 'vitamin water' video. Looking forward to seeing it. Thanks for all the great info.
Can you use metro with Seachem Paraguard at the same time when receiving new fish?
love those blue diamonds , are the blood worms carriers of the decease or is it because of bad freezing?
Excellent video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thank you
Excellent video and content! I'll be ordering from you soon!👍
Sometimes the infection is severe and metronidazole does not work for it, so I use metronidazole with acriflavin and Praziquantel as one compound for treatment. Intestinal infections end within six days
Accept my high respect and appreciation for your honorable person Gabe Posada
And thank you for sharing your research. We all learn together.
Hello,what if you go more then ten days???
thanks for the info did discus for many years and i am thinking about doing them soon
Sería bueno recibir la información en dos vídeos uno en español y otro en inglés y publicarlos en RUclips al mismo tiempo
Excellent video, thank you for the information... you have lots of fans here in Iraq
Hi .. sorry one question
Can I use PRAZIPRO with METRONIDAZOLE ?
Yes you can
Por favor mas videos en español

Amazing video that has saved my angelfish pair 😍 thanks for sharing your information
Me encanta su difusion, muchas gracias!! Podria tambien hacer este video en español! Muchas graciass!!!
I love your videos. I learn so much.
Got your Meds. Thank you Gabe!
hi there, ive been on and off struggling with discus and hexamita. im off to treat another round. its a community tank, different origins and i believe thats the cause. ive had this group for 2 years. theyve had 4 or 5 friends die of flatulates. so whats odd is i noticed first accelerated growth in half of them and the other half slower. it is semi-corespondant to origin. ie. my blue turqs are thin and they from origin A and my blue face red covers are bigger (same age) and breeding in community. the thin ones are getting worse. ive tried treating in water and food but never metro in food so thats what i want to try now. im just not understanding dosage for food. i feed dry pellets, im willing to create a beef heart mixture if it would work better for their health. however still im not sure how to measure dosage for the food. are you able to assist?
We cannot buy metro in Canada but thankfully I can order it online from the USA
Gabe - Thanks very much for this fish life-saving how-to. Quick question... Do we keep the temperature high (86F-88F) for the whole 10 days? Or, can we drop the temperature down to 84F after each 8hr treatment? I'm concerned for the non-Discus livestock that may not be able to endure the 86F temp. Thanks in advance.
I would also like the answer to that question. 86 for all 10 days??????
Raising and lowering the temperature during the treatment period makes the environment change for the parasite, which makes it weak resistance
So raising the temperature by one degree for a day or two and then gradually lowering it will have a good effect with treatment
Hey Gabe, was waiting on this good info. Stay safe
Big thank you to you Gabriel. I think everybody was waiting for this video and I was very happy when you said that metro doesn't target beneficial bacteria.
When you say 1 gram per 20 gallons, do you mean 1 gram of Metroplex (70% metronidazole) or one gram of metronidazole (1.43 grams of Metroplex)?
We use pure metronidazole. Very much available on our website.
Every time I walk by the tank
The discus be like
DUDE WE NEED FOOD
every time
Hehe 😂
Mil gracias Gabriel, ojalá que puedas grabar el video en español, saludos
Hi Gab many thanks the informative vids 😉. Quick one. Is it one dose every day for 10 days or a dose every 8hrs for 10 days? Thank you.
Hmm.. How do you know metro is very very bitter?
Ha! Try it. I have accidentally touched my lips and it's like biting into a grapefruit rind.
@@JackWattleyDiscus haha..that’s ok I’ll take your word for it. 😬
How much metro do you mix with the food? Is there a specific amount you recommend?
Gabriel por favor acuérdate de grabar el vídeo en español gracias desde España.
Thank you very much for your information i fellow you from Algeria, and i have a question pls , how much the TDS of your water of your discus displays tank (not breeding tank i know it’s low ) thank you boss
Mr. Gabe, if only for prevention 3 days in a row when my fish are eating the beef heart mixed with metronidazole, if for treatment must 10 days, am i getting it correct? Thank you 🙏
porfavor has mas videos en español
THANK YOU, ARE YOU THE MAN!

Hi , I do get really confused about dosing when it comes to strength of metronidazole I know you recommend one grams of metronidazole for every 20 gallons of water but some metronidazole packages are 250mg some 400mg and some 500mg for example seachem metroplex contain 700mg in 1 gram of metroplex does that means I do add 1 grams of metroplex for every 20gallons or does it mean I need to add 1.4 grams of metroplex to make it 1000mg for 20g ?
Please can you help me understand how many grams of metroplex to use for every 20gallons of water
I don't know how pure Metroplex is. I only use 99.7% metronidazole
I believe it is 75% which what makes me think that I need 1.4 grams of metroplex do I work out right if it is 75% should I be using 1.4 grams for every 20 gallons ?
@@burakkanidagli9968 why not just get the regular metronidazole. In pill form 4 250mg tablets make a gram.
It is so hard to get it in the uk so far only the option I can find ordering metroplex on eBay from us that’s why I have to use metroplex 2 years I have been trying to get metronidazole pils/tablets in uk but couldn’t get it
Te agradeceré si me podes en español lo que te pregunte sobre la desaparición muchas gracias
really awesomw video m from india i just wanted to knw how the weekly medication can be done and can we use this same method for frys

Hola Sr. Jack, podría traducir el vídeo al Español, para el mundo hispano hablante. Gracias y que Dios te bendiga

How to measure how many grams to put in food for my fish. They eating normally for now but I have 4 gold fish, 16 red neons, 9 tetra glo , 2 sinodonts , 10 coridoras, 2 catfishes and a snail that I think to put in other tank when I treat with medicine
Sprinkle on food no need to measure or overdose
Excellent video! You are so kind and a great teacher.
Jack GE..I am Ramanan from India..My fish is lying down the tank for almost 15 days..Treated him with Bactocide 2 for 5 days didn't see any changes..Then treated for 2 days with metro 400 , Ciplax 500 and rock salt 2 table spoons for 2 days as prescribed by a breeder..No changes and now I am treating him with melafix and rock salt for 3 days..Still the same..
I am handfeeding him with Dry Australian black worms 3 times a day..Pls helo me out . He is a Blue Scorpion 5+ inches in size.. Water parameters are perfect..40ltrs with a heater at 30'C..
Hey Gabe, maybe you can create playlists on your youtube channel - one list for medicating fish videos, and another for breading fish. That way it will be easier to find videos since you have so many. Just a suggestion. And thanks for the videos and the knowledge. You're doing a fabulous job.
Great idea!!! ❤
Is feeding them the medicated food for 3 days preventative and verified sickness??
Excellent video, thank you for the information. Stay safe
Thanks for this and other great videos... just starting out with Discus and learning so much from you!... Have a question with the Metronidazole... it seems I cannot buy it where I am.... I see its an antibiotic.. would other antibiotics also work? Like Amoxil?
No, not for internal. Only metronidazole for hexamita
@@JackWattleyDiscus ok. great.. thanks.. see what I can do to get some then, from somewhere... thanks!
Ya nos dejaste de lado a los que hablamos en español
Thank you so very much!

Do you think freeze-dried bloodworms are safe?
Anything freeze dried is safe but lacking in nutrition.

Good morning, Thank God for your video!! I have angelfish that had it, and I treated it once already with metroplex. The female got it again and isn't responding to the metroplex. She's not eating maybe 1 brine shrimp . I'm using metroplex in food. I just received metronidazole, how much do I use for a 29-gallon tank? Please help me I don't have direction on how much. I will need to treat the tank and then after she eats how much do I treat?
Pronto pasaré por su tienda a comprar Peces 🐠 Gracias 🙏
Hi Gabe,one of you fan☺️ my discus doesnt eat anymore for 2weeks and lossing weight.im here in Canada.what should be the first treatment.thank you in advance
Godbless
Sir, love from India. One of discus is breathing heavily. Manytimes turning dark in color. Rest all fishes are doin fine. What may be the possible problem. Both gills are functioning.
i just bought 10 discus around 10 cm. the fish in the shop come when I go over to the aquarium. But at home they hide. they go with diamond tetras, could it be their fault? or is it the water that is failing something? (the aquarium has been running for 10 years with angels, then has switched to discus. I prefer not to eat as much as in the shop. the live in 530 liters, I change 30% water every other day, they have 28 degrees water, just like in the aquarium, no nitrite nitrate or ammonia. Hope u can help me
Hello, if your feeding them with the metro and food. How may feedings should you feed with the medication?
Exactly and how much medication to use per feeding!? This is all too vague to be safe.
@@riverp9019 all clearly answered in the video and reiterated in his answers to the same comments. Not sure why the confusion
It would help if you gave dosage for feeding......how much "Metro" is it exactly per feeding and how many times do you dose-feed. Not knowing this could kill all our fish at worst or make them all sterile at best. How many grams do you mix into the food and how many times do you feed/do this? Three days ten days, one day......medication dosage must be different when feeding to when you treat the water?
My one of the adult female discus fish which is around 8inch of size stop eating, and just siting in a cornor of aquarium in fear of bullying male discus, and during night it was schooling with other fishes without any fear, now almost one week passed today I found a white cloudy color on its left wing. Could anyone help me to overcome this issue. And also it is not wide opening its upper fins and it almost(not exactly) look like stunted fish now.
Hello, I have a problem, one of the fish is very skittish, tries to eat the given food but swims in spurts and does not see the food, the other fish are ok, can I give some medicine (the fish looks healthy, only the way it swims and "lack of sight" is surprising) ) Please help
great!!!
What if my Fish of 1.5 inch size is doing brown long poop, they are eating beef heart. How many days of treatment should I do?? If I put metro in the Beef heart.
Hello sir
One of my parrot fish is having white poop..
But they are eating.. how many grams of metronidazole should i mix with food and feed them????
Hi Gabe I am Nasir from Belgium I have a group of 8 fishes . They all doing fine except 1 of them suddenly her dorsal fin splits and the next day all the fins around start to be black and the fish stops show intrest to eat.
I put some salt and increased the temp to
32 C ? What do you think the reason ? And the treatment. THANKS A LOT. Nasir
Fighting between each other. She lost the fight. What you did it perfect
@@JackWattleyDiscus Thanks Gabe you always there even in difficult times .
I hope things are better now with the covid19
Here in Belgium almost 15000 case .
God safe us all.
@@elgezouliabdul4973 I cannot add any better wording than your last sentence.
Sir How many days we should feed this metro medicine to fish

Stay safe Gabe! Enjoy your videos!
At 10:30 you were talking about vitaminic water... Any video about pls???
I have a pair of Discus with fry’s is it ok to give medicated food ?? It’s the female fish with Hole in the Head please help thank you
my fish are having tape worm i have praziquantel powder how much to dose and how to dissolve praziquantel?
Hiya there have 😁🤘👊
Would metro kill my hood bacteria in my main tank
Hi it looks like fenbendazole is similar and is allowed in NZ where Metronidazole isn't allowed. I can also see it can be added it food but I would like to know if it has an 8hr water life as well?
You're channel is brilliant. You are very knowledgeable and so passionate about this hobby. I wish I lived in the USA because I would be able to buy my discus from you.
I have a question. In the UK we can't easily get hold of metroidazole.
However, we can use dimetridazole.
Or commonly known as Waterlife Octozin. Is it OK to use this at the same rate as metronidazole?
Any tips on helping it dizzolve in water? As it doesn't do this well.
Same
Yea so brilliant he doesn't give dosage?! How much to use per dose if feeding it and how many doses?
@@riverp9019 you are trying to use waterlife octozin? If so, it doesn't seem to have the same affect on the condition as its so diluted you'd have to spend a lot of money to use it at the same dosage rate as what JW suggests. If you have fish with Hexamita I would recommend trying to actually buy some metro somehow. You can get it from some specialist Discus breeder/sellers in UK or vets.
@@joelohalloran200 No. No I'm not. I want to use metronidazole.....so how much to use and how often when mixed in food?
Hello sir , just one doubt do we have to change the water daily after 8 hrs of metronidazole treatment or as per my regular water change schedule that is once a week? Please kindly answer me sir
You change your water whenever you do your regular water changes. Either before you medicate, or 9 hours after. Daily is not necessary.
@@JackWattleyDiscus thanks a lot sir 🤩
Just after 3rd dose my discuss fish is eating a little bit now. But still not pooping. Should I continue the metro treatment or do the treatment for constipation??
Dried blood worm or tubifex worm can be the cause of white poop?? Pls reply
Where do I buy metronidazole
If you're in the US on our website.

Why my water becomes cloudy when I added metronidazole? Thank you for your help
Hi
I have 3 discus tank.
I do my water change twice a week 30 percent. I have a bare bottom tank.
but after a month or so I see my PH going down to 4.5... Can you please tell me why this happens....Thank you and regards
I use metro in shrimp tanks and it is safe. Added bonus, it destroy also anerobic bacteria that harms the fish.
