Re: Discus turning dark & clamped fins
That’s come out the wrong way round, he’s vertical here

Re: Discus turning dark & clamped fins
I cannot work him/her out. One min vertical and not much movement, the next swimming around and sort of shaking fins shaking in general and shivering. Also noticed being a bit aggressive yesterday to all fish except one. I initially thought maybe pairing or trying to. But today with the vertical stance not so sure. At this very moment very active and doing above again

Re: Discus turning dark & clamped fins
When swimming vertical... Is it like a bob - weave motion like trying to swim down but cant

Re: Discus turning dark & clamped fins
He doesn’t swim vertically, he swims normal, but he was sort of stationary when in that vertical position. Iv noticed he has sort of done what you mention, not a lot though.

Re: Discus turning dark & clamped fins
If it's not happening more consistently, then it's probably not a swim bladder issue.
Do you notice if it happens shortly after feeding.
I've seen it happen with frozen a freezedried foods.
I'm still thinking Brian's initial thoughts for getting nitrates down is the best place to start and then continue from there.

Re: Discus turning dark & clamped fins
I’m actually not too sure in regards to doing it after feeding. He was just stationary vertical for quite a while. I have upped the temperature and also performed 30% water change. Will continue to monitor him and hopefully things improve. Thank you both for your time, help & advice. Really appreciate it boys. Il keep you updated

Re: Discus turning dark & clamped fins
Check the ph of your water change source against your tank ph, and also nitrate, and what are you using to remove chlorimines.
