The Great White Hand Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hi I would appreciate your opinions. My new San Merah discus has been in the tank about 48 hrs, is eating well and is showing ok colour, but he/she is laying pretty low in a 30cm x25cm grotto of plants and driftwood with a large sword in the middle. He/she has been out into the main part of the tank 10-12 times I'm aware of. Hovering above the sword plant is the dwarf gourami, not actually being aggressive as such, they have shared meals under the sword with no obvious agression. I thought about putting the DG into isolation, but don't want to stress it by overreacting? Regards, TGWH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimebag Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 its a good sign if its eating well. ive had discus that have taken weeks to have a decent feed. now youve got one, theres no stopping mate :lol: discus are addictive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 id wait it out, as dimebag says it can take a few weeks for them to feel 100% at home where others can be plopped in a tank and resume life as normal :lol: as long as hes eating and looking healthy i would leave him be and see how he is after a week or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
