Renovating tank + stress on Discus?

Hey,

I'm thinking about ripping out the existing planted layout and adding new plants etc etc, but I noticed the last time I did a massive renovation two of my Discus went off food for ages and stayed to their corner. I know it wasn't worms 'cos I periodically worm everytime I get new fish.

And now they've started feeding regularly now 'cos they're actually coming out which disrupted the new heirarchy..so now there's a new heirarchy system.

I'm going to be moving/ripping things so wondering if this will cause an upset again? Or if even that was the reason that they went off their food in the first place?

Should be ok unless you're stirring up all the gunk in the gravel. You can always put the discus in a bucket with air stone and heater( if it's going to take long)and do your gardenning and landscaping. Do a WC after that and put the fish back in. That way they are not that stressed.
