DennisP Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Its been a while since I've introduced new discus to my tank and was wondering what sign to look out for. They are both about 6cm, and are in with 2 juveniles and 2 old(ish) ones about 10cm+ from nose to tail. They are both interested in food so I take it that means they aren't sick. Which they shouldn't be. I noticed one of the old ones pushing one of them around but I think its okay. They are rose red and brilliant red btw. Anything else I need to consider?

Dave+Amy Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 you're brave haha..I don't introduce discus smaller than 8cm into my adult tank just because they're more likely to get stunted by getting chased from food etc and aggression too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Had a look today. The red rose has a damaged/deformed gill ='[ Nothing major... but its something to keep an eye on. Both are much more confident now and are hanging around with the others. There is still a bit of pushing by the original big ones but no problems. Fed them bloodworms today and a feeding frenzy erupted. Everyone got their fair share and they look fat and happy. =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
