Metro Discus Medication 

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 ✌

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 🤓👍

You are one of the reasons i recently purchased my discus

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.

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.

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.

Nos ayudaría mucho realizando lo en español también de antemano muchas gracias

Amazing video that has saved my angelfish pair 😍 thanks for sharing your information

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.

Me encanta su difusion, muchas gracias!! Podria tambien hacer este video en español! Muchas graciass!!!

great!!!

Excellent video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thank you

Excelente Información muy buen video pero de verdad le agradecería mucho si lo pudieras repetir en español 1000 gracias

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

Hi Gab. I'm waiting on that 'vitamin water' video. Looking forward to seeing it. Thanks for all the great info.

My fav discus youtuber by far! I miss your video's man....

I love your videos. I learn so much.

Thank you so very much!

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.

Stay safe Gabe! Enjoy your videos!

Excellent video, thank you for the information. Stay safe

Hey Gabe, was waiting on this good info. Stay safe

We cannot buy metro in Canada but thankfully I can order it online from the USA

You're getting better each time.that's why i follow you

THANK YOU, ARE YOU THE MAN!

I use metro in shrimp tanks and it is safe. Added bonus, it destroy also anerobic bacteria that harms the fish.

Great to see you Gabe,,, stay safe!!! Love from Down Under

Te agradeceré si me podes en español lo que te pregunte sobre la desaparición muchas gracias

Best of the best video

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.

Very informative

🤣🤣🤣🤣 shipping yeyo in metronidazole containers great idea 💡..someone somewhere is going ...Mierda why I no think of this??? Que vaina..great stuff I love watching your vids Gabe . You inspired my wife ,she wants discus..very beautiful 😍

Bro good to see you bro keep the videos coming

Pronto pasaré por su tienda a comprar Peces 🐠 Gracias 🙏

Great video sir. Thanks

Respect from heart sir good information

love those blue diamonds , are the blood worms carriers of the decease or is it because of bad freezing?

Very important info. How many times to feed deworming with feeding? Onze Day or more?

I would leVe the Mersin the pellet cup for a good hour and let everything soak into the pellets. I would also add a half teaspoon of Rodin salt to grow the fish to expell the dead flaggilated.

porfavor has mas videos en español

Really very helpfull Sir 🙏

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

Can i use prazipro ?

Hi .. sorry one question Can I use PRAZIPRO with METRONIDAZOLE ?

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?

I was gonna take a shot of metro for coronavirus, but now I think I'll pass! Great content, as always, Gabriel! Your videos have some of the best, most practical, real-world fish-keeping advice out there!

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 🙏

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.

How much metro do you mix with the food? Is there a specific amount you recommend?

Por favor en español si es posible gracias

Fantastic tutorial :)

Please make a video on the filtration of your breeding tanks.

Por favor en español gracias

It would be good to receive the information in two videos, one in Spanish and the other in English, and publish them on RU-vid at the same time.

Great video! But could you make another one in spanish please?

Hola cual es la temperatura ideal para los discos ?

Hi, this is Amit from India. Thanks for this video and treatment tips. I have been facing this issue for some time. My discus keeps on getting infected once moved into main planted tank post treatment in hospital tank, so thinking of treating main tank. You have clearly mentioned that this treatment won’t impact biological filters but wanted to check if it will impact plants and soil. Plz help with that. Thank you so much in advance! Regards

U r awesome boss.

Every time I walk by the tank The discus be like DUDE WE NEED FOOD every time

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?

Vitamin water video pls asap as said by u in this video sir

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

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

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.

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)?

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?

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

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.

Please make a video on best water conditior like prime or fluval

Por favor en español

Same dose feeding them as you would dosing the tank? I have a 30gallon Quarentine rank with 10 discus... would I feed them 1.5 grams once a day?

Hi Gabe that was very informative! I was looking at the meds you offer and I keep and breed Fancy Swordtails I noticed the Acriflavin I've been looking to try that to see if it will cure my problem🤔 I noticed your here in Miami FL me to 😊 I will order some real soon Thanks!✌🌿

Great informative video. Quick question..For preventative treatment mixing the metro with the food, how long is the treatment done for and do you also add it to water or just mixing the food in is fine?

Awesome

What up jack. Una pregunta rapida. Tengo alevines de semana y media. Debo aplicar metrodinazol en el tanque o me esperro a que crezcan un poco?

This can also be used as a preventative method right Gabe?
