Skittish discus!!

Peewee when you think Jets just think number one pick next draft!! Yeah!! That’s what we’re going for! Number one pick!! Same as last year! Hopefully they don’t mess it up again and start winning .

Well they are getting better. Still jump for no reason but eating and getting better. . Seems like they are also getting the food easier. But it may be something in my water. I have bought a bottle of prime and I’m now adding it to their water changes. Without they do act skittish. My Hans discus have no problems at all with water changes.

They look nervious, try changing more water may help, with addition of Yellow Powder.

Well I am changing 75% daily now and when tested all is good. No clue as to yellow power. Lol sounds like something bought outside the pet store and around the back.

The yellow powder are furanase sold at LFS as furan2, nitro-furanase and furanase -green. The color of this medication will make the water yellowgreen. It is use widely by many Discus breeders.

Do you age your well water? Had this issue years ago when I started keeping discus for the first time. Aging my water fixed the problem. Had to gas off a bit before going into the tank. Any other fish I ever kept was not bothered by it except for discus. I age water for all fish now.

Jason it’s definitely the water! Yes aging it may also work but the prime is doing the job. This is my third discus tank running and only these fish stress the water. Even my shrimp tanks have been fine.

Well I changed the filter in my under counter filter and all is good now. Filter was only 6 months old and good for 10k g. So either it didn’t hold up or I’m changing a lot of water. Went ahead and moved a German into the tank. My hero fish. So far so good .489978D2-EC27-4771-A905-10A1FBE0EEFD.jpgF6A3C0F9-AC0D-4417-86E9-95611DFFC4E8.jpgDBF9BB23-1ABD-4399-9445-D7AA40EBBE6D.jpg

My juvie discus took almost two months to stop being skittish. Your fish look awesome, I hope they settle down soon so you can enjoy them without having to worry.
