    Cool Melon discus eating but keeps hiding

    Good Day Everybody

    Ive just joined the site and require some assistance with my discus keeping,i have had tropical fish before but new to owning discus.

    I recently setup a 1.2 mtr tank ,with some discus as follows: Hope the names are correct i mention below

    1 x red marlboro LARGE
    1 x melon LARGE
    1 x red turquise LARGE
    6 x orange MEDUIM
    2 X Clownloaches

    So far they seem ok with no signs off illness ect and they eat well,only thing is that the MELON hides most of the time only comes out to eat then goes back into hiding again,i had a bit of an agression issue but had to seperate the bullied one to another tank.

    I have had them for a couple of weeks now at first the melon was ok but as off late his hiding all the time,i also did notice his dorsal fins flickering at times but to to serious.

    Any advice on what could be the issue?
    Tx in advance
