I really love your videos you know what you are talking about when you recommend people something where there is too many people give so silly information through the RUclips and I can clearly say he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, thank you for everything you helped me with
watched 5 videos back to back from this channel. Absolutely fantastic information!
Glad you are enjoying. Hoping to be able to bring you more content.
Brilliant just the right length of time. Makes it easier to remember most of the factual things you tell us.
You are sharing your vast knowledge ... thank you king.
May king live long ... all hail the king. 🤴
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 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.
Glad I could help. Enjoy!
Gabe I delivered a package from you to one of my customers out here in Portland Oregon I was what I watch this man on RUclips lol awesome man
Hi Gabe used to call you and Jack back in late 80's early 90's before internet with the "HELP MY FISH ARE SICK"you guys always helped me out I appreciate that
I haven't stopped helping others enjoy. Thanks for remembering.
Another video that gonna be a tool for everyone and for EVER! With this video you just saved thousands of FISH !! Keep your great work
I really like your video production and format.
You made some good points. The old wood in the tanks contributing to the anaerobic bact issue is one I've not ever considered. All points are well taken. Thanks!
Great information ...I got more knowledge from this video in 6 minutes than , than looking around in last year ...Gab is the man !!!
Thanks Mate, great advice. Regards from down under.
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.
Gabtriel, your a great man! Thank you so much for all your knowledge, as i begin to start up my Discus hobby..I love your content! Merry Xmas mate!
Hey Gabe thank you so much for all your videos & advice etc. I've watched so many and they've really helped me.
So I am based in the UK and have an issue with one of my Discus. I've had them now since the end of July this year, so not too long only a few months. But after only a few weeks, one of them developed red nostrils that sometimes with various treatments I can get to go away for a short time. But it always comes back! I've currently got her in a hospital tank... using aquarium salt that I thought had worked! But now this evening after giving some food it is back again! ... so frustrating and I'm really struggling to find online what it is to be sure (I think possibly Hemorrhagic septicemia bacterial infection).
I can not get metronidazole here in the UK as it is not available and also other treatments/antibiotics readily available in the US/Oz etc.
But I would be so grateful if you can help me identify with certainty and recommend treatment.
Also, when it gets worse my discus also has reddening on the pectoral fin near the armpit this goes and again comes back at times.
I have tried so far, melafix first, then aquarium salt, she also developed bloat so I have used Epsom salt that sorted that out. I've tried a course of Octozin (with no effect) and also a course of Myxazin with no effect... the aquarium salt and/or Melafix seems the most effective temporarily getting rid of it... but always only a temporary fix.
I currently have the salinity at 2500ppm upped today to 2800ppm after researching and reading some forums etc. that mentioned doubling a dose etc. which I'm unsure if going to 5000ppm would be OK
This treatment course has been 4days already and I really thought I had made progress until this evening and it looks just how it has been !
I've dewormed my Discus I have 8 and the water quality has been maintained religiously! All other fish are perfect all eating well and thriving. This one eats no problem and is active no other issues other than the red nostrils/red pectoral fin 😔
I hope you can help me and many thanks again...
By the way WOW such amazing quality discus you guys have I'd love to visit some day and perhaps buy from you some day too if ever possible 😂🙏❤️🐠
Thank you for sharing your vast experience with us. Keep up the good work 👍👏🇬🇧

Powdered metronidazole and we use one gram for every 20 gallons of water this is done 10 days straight
Thanks Jack , Filter should be off or can be used without carbon & sponges?
@@naxatra4u all filters on to kill the bad bacteria there as well. You shouldn't be using carbon at all.
Thanks Jack for such fast response
Very informative.thanks sir for always sharing tips.
Hello thanks for sharing your information
I have problems with my discus its not eat and ther are blowing on the stomach hole
Fantastic information
Thanks so much for your sharing knowledges👍👍
Your videos are amazing and have taught me a lot! Thank you so much!
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?

Is there another treatment you can use instead of Metronidazoleas this is a treatment we are not allowed in the UK.

Can you put the epsom salts in a planted tank or will the salt kill the plants?
Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate. It's a fertilizer

Thank you very much
Can you make demo video of this treatment
Thank you for taking the time to post this. I have a quick question about your recommendation when treating Discus with metronidazole for 10 days. Is the daily application once or three times (once every 8 hours)? Thank you in advance.
Once
@@JackWattleyDiscus Thank you
Awesome explanation.. I couldn't get metro in UAE any alternative to metro recommended?
Thanks. Would love a more advanced vid as well. Plese make a part two.
Any pointers for a discus breathing rapidly? Still eating but sparingly seems to be the only one in the aquarium breathing rapidly. Can’t figure out why, parameters are good and been consistent. Thanks! Great videos and incredible operation you have!
Hey hi
I am a big fan of your work.
I just brought in 1.75 inches discus total 8 in numbers.
Now one them is staying in top corner of the aquarium. And not having food
What to do????
Hi Gabe, I love your videos, they are to the point and very informative. Could you make a video on cross contamination of discus (from different breeders) and how to spot it and how to treat it. thanks in advance.
Fantastic video once again. You Da Man
Straight to the point
I think u are the best wen it comes to discus. Love from India. Been following ur channel. Can you please make a video on swim bladder issues in discus and its treatment. It’s been a week and i m struggling to cure my discus pair of possibly swim bladder disorder. Have tried epsom salt & aquarium salt treatment. But no luck. Can you please help on this. Thanks.
Great info as always, I'm having some of my angelfish with what its look like bloating. tk you i will start the treatment
Respect from India sir great
Thanks for watching.
Hi There and millions thanks for all those nice videos, I have now my discus doing great ,since I watch all you video.
A quick question about Epsom salt, can I use Epsom salt from time to time just to relieve my fish stomach since two days I see no poops however they are eating good .
Please advise if I can use it as you mentioned 1 spoon for 40 L and for how long should I keep it in the aquarium before I do water change?
Thank you very much
Nasir
Great video sir.
Gab. thank for your information 😍
Great videos! What medicine do you use for the internal parasites?
Metronidazole or prozyquantel
Thank you
Hi, really like the content. What's the dosage to add in the food of the metronidazole for discus?
Thank you sir. ❤❤❤
Sir, Thankyou for this informative vedio.
Thank you very much for another very informative video. 👍
Gr8 info.😊
Thank you for sharing.
Do you have a specific amount (eg 1 tsp ) and dosage (eg 250mg or 500mg tablet ) of metronidazole to be added to prepared food (amount in pounds )? How long should you keep homemade medicated fishfoods and do you use it as a preventative like once a month?
Should you starve the fish a day before feeding it? Can you mix garlic with metro in fishfood?
Is there a way you can 100% identify sexes of discus by looking at them but not in when breeding? Also could you force a pairing and method to do it?
Thank you.
