I received 6 new discus 10 days ago from reputable breeder. Shipped across country.
4/6 eating frozen brine shrimp and shrimp/spirulina mix. 2 of the six do not want to eat.
I do not want to feed CBW. I noticed recently that young discus fed CBW developed protruding eyes in another tank and the only new variable was the CBW. Tank temperature is now 94 degrees to stimulate eating. The are NOT dark and sick looking. Aside from not eating they appear healthy and with normal behavior and coloration. Any advice?? I have done what the breeder suggested, raise tank temp and feed usual foods they are raised on with no success so far.

Thanks

What does the reputable breeder advise you do next? Many times it's best to follow the advice of one person . . . especially if that person knows the fish in question rather than try various treatments from various people.

If the breeder does not respond to your questions let us know and we'll try to help.
