Hi BrendanJ23, the fish swims normally. It just doing that whenever that light blue discus comes near and swims normally again when it left. I have tried looking in youtube and they said its courtship ritual. I just want to know if it's true. All of my 12 discus came 2 weeks ago and just come off a Furan medication for a week due to some bacterial infection, 7 of them shows sign and 3 of them survived at the moment I think everything is fine except for the behaviour of that one. But case in point ammonia, nitrite are 0 and nitrate at 20-40ppm. Temp sits at 28 degrees celsius and they eat mix food pellet, fbw and bhm. I am using 1 inch deep silica sand on a 220gal tank. I don't age water but I am using anti chlorine when doing 25% water change every other day. Stocks are 8 discus 1 uaru and a niger catfish.
