Hi,
Just received 8, 2-3 inch fish by air three days ago
from MIke Wells. They refused to eat beefheart , flakes
and hid behind spong filter. If I turned on the light they
went nuts, but they are now eating some froz b worms
and Dans CBW's. They come out now if I leave the light
off , still do not like it when I do water changes.
But back to the fish 4 Ger. green turks and 4 marlb reds.
They are beautiful ;D ;D ;D , If you want some great fish give
Mike Wells at a discus dream a call. Prices were OK
fish are great.
Mike stands behind his fish and will help you thru any
problems!
You might ask Tyler about Mike.

Hi Steve
It took 2 month for my discus to accept water changes without hiding at the other end of the tank.Now there a pain in th-ss they get in the way of the syphon and when filling the tank they come down and roll in the stream.

What I did is feed them some CBW right after the water changes so now they are there with their beady little eyes waiting .
Don't ya just love it

Hey steve, i think u should continue to feed ur discus with bloodworm. From what ive observed , my discus prefered bloodworm than flakes. I think by feeding them with bloodworm, u could "lure" them out from their hiding area...

Sounds like a typical discus experience. I've been fortunate all the discus I've aquired have adjusted within 24 hours. keep up the variety in their diet and wait.
I picked up two discus yesterday and they ate within an hour and still are. You may want to dim the lights and slowly increase their intensity over the next couple of weeks. Also try turning on the light in the room for a few minutes prior to turning on the tanks.

Hope this helps

I had read that Discus don't like shadows primarily due to being 'caught' and maybe they remember it. But that wouldn't affect our domestics right? Is the shadow thing something to do with their eyesight maybe? or just ingrained into them...?
