SIMPLY EMERGENCY

[boydiscus]

I have a batch of 4 red turks, one of them isolates himself by swimming next to the back wall and just swims like he is looking for something? His black stripes are dark, he just wonders and wonders and all the others seem to do ok, and his the only one that is not interested in the food? Also what ph is most stuitable?

Also what ph is most stuitable? The best ph for discus is the most stable one! That is the most important aspect of keeping discus successfully, 100% stable water conditions! What the ph is at is not really a concern! I keep my discus in a ph of 7.8! I use my tap water, aged for 24 hours, heated and dechlored!

About the behaviour! Sounds like normal! I have seen discus do that! Sometimes I think they can see their reflection in the glass and think its another discus or something!
