Vjarn Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 i woke up this morning to find that 2 of my discus are floating at the surface, they are still alive but cant seem to hover, is this their swim bladder? i have upped the bubbles in the tank cause they were breathing at the top. should i be worried about the two that are floating?

Pegasus Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 i have upped the bubbles in the tank cause they were breathing at the top.This is a pretty good indication of poor water conditions... not just a sign of the lack of disolved oxygen in the water. Some heavy water changes several times a week may be in order. How often do you do partial water changes... ? Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke* Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I'd rather be scared than have dead discus Good to hear they're doing better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
