Always dropping gems, always on point. I do have a question concerning medication using Polyguard and metroplex daily. Do you conduct water change during the this process. Also you treat daily for your quarantine process?
@KaveManAquatics10 ай бұрын
Yes daily, and yes you can water change if the water gets dirty but it’s not necessary if using Prime and stability. Also, don’t confuse PolyGuard with Paraguard! Big difference. The QC is PARAGUARD and metroplex.

I'm following your quarantine couple instead of the quarantine trio (the very popular that's out there). But the quarantine trio has crashed my cycle and makes my water super cloudy. Plus i feel like the fish get super stressed too. I just started using your qc; paraguard and metroplex, and so far having great results! Do you have a video that shows you using prime, stability and your QC for new fish? It'd be great to see a daily video of this. Thanks and love your videos

Your tank and set up are crazy sick Kev. Congrats on all your tanks and channel. Quick question. I have similar fish like yourself and recently my two heaters stopped working. Never had that problem and my tank has always been maintained at around 82 degrees. You can just imagine my panic attack when I woke up and seen my temp at a cold 69. I could tell my fish were feeling the effects and going into shock!! I immediately intervened by checking my heaters and resetting the temp to no avail. I bought another Fluval top of the line heater to supplement the other two I had on my 130g tank. All three heaters have been set to 82 degrees and they seem to be working due to the lights being on. The water temp won’t go past 76 degrees. Any advice of what I can do? Is there something I’m doing wrong. Thanks Kev.

Can I quarantine the rest together? Do we assume that if they come from the same breeder, they probably have the same illnesses if any? TIA!

This is so dope. I've been wanting to do an all severum tank, but I all the different types of severum are so freaking hard to find. All I ever see online and in the stores are the green, orange shoulder, gold, and every once in a while the turquois. Right now I have 4 severum in my Discus tank and 2 severum in my peacock/hap tank. Even if I had an all severum tank I wouldn't move the two that I have in my peacock tank. They have spent these years in that tank acclimated to those water parameters, I fear moving them might kill them. Oh and for all those that don't know. Severum may have small mouths, but they hold their own against African Cichlids.

Didnt want to waste prime in the bucket. They were all in the same water parameters as the bag. I'd rather use the Prime in the tank.

@KaveManAquatics , the rise of ammonia spikes when oxygen is introduced, the water is now very toxic, gill burn from that water is immediate. A few drops of prime takes that all away. The slime coat weakens and disease can set in. I never have to treat for illness. I use prime, stability and salt. Melifix if a fish gets beat up , that's it, please understand we can all learn here.

Hey Ray, if you're trying to convince me of how well Prime works, trust me you dont have to. If you look around my channel you'll understand why. I even have a video adding prime to fish bags after opening them for the exact same reason you stated. Just because I didnt do it here doesnt mean "I need to learn about it" But since you're trying to help me, I'll try to help you. Ammonia is non-toxic in low PH. Oxygen does not play a factor when PH is low. Ammonia becomes more toxic as PH rises. These fish are all low PH kept fish. The bucket was filled with low PH tank water. There was absolutely no threat of ammonia burn for the 2 minutes they were in the bucket before being added to the tank which did get prime. Which is why I wouldnt have done this method if they were African Cichlids in High PH water. They would have gotten netted and added directly to the tank dosed with prime. Hope that clears things up.
