Dear Vox, these are Pigeon Bloods. I would like to personally welcome you to Simply Discus.

I would like to know if this is the first time you are keeping Discus ??

how long have you had these fish ??

How old are they ??

i would like to draw your attention to the photos and more so towads the stomach region. you see how its pinched in ?? Well these fish are not being fed enough this resulting in stunting.

The stomachs should always be round and discus should look plump not skinny.

I advice you to correct this as soon as possible. Move these fish into a bare bottom tank and change a good 30% of the water DAILY. Feed them atleast 4 times a day varying their diet. if you can feed beefheart then all the better. Grind some beefheart with some garlic and freeze it. then feed as a meal. feed frozen bloodworms, black worms, and dry foods like terta bits.

keep the temperature at 30°c minimum and you will see some change.

Feel free to ask us any questions and we will be more than happy to help you out..

Once again a big welcome

Welcome,
Jason has given you some very good advice. Do not wait. These little Pigeon Bloods need some help right away. Remove all the gravel from your aquarium because it's impossible to keep clean. This isn't a big problem for most fish but it is for discus babies. Yours will need lots of water changes and good food to get them into good shape. Good luck and keep us posted on how things are going.

Removing gravel is not an option, no way, and water parameteres and ideal anyway. Discuses were bought couple of days ago from a shop where they were starving and were kept in bad temperature. I felt sorry for them. :angel: :D

They were almost colorless, got color back already, after just a coulpe of days of adequate food. Have no worries, they feel quite ok now.

Thanks for determination. :thumbsup:
