Odd thing has happened twice now about a week apart. My one checkerboard swims off balance, head tilted down after food/water change. I've only had the 9 discus for about 2 weeks or so now from Hans. The first time it happened beford bed, I fed beefheart mix and did a water change. Saw symptoms and he appeared bloated. Added epsom salt to the tank and next morning he was fine. It now happened again. Fed beefheart, did water change and same discus. All others are fine. Added epsom salt and we will see. Doesn't look bloated tonight. Temp is at 86, discus are 3.5" and get daily water changes between 60 to 80%. They are growing out in my bare bottom 75 using tap water with prime. I have 3.5 ppm of chloramine but dose prime accordingly. Its very odd it was the same sequence of events and the same discus. Am I doing something weird or anything odd?
My beefheart mix is very green from spirulina, peas, and spinach in addition to beefheart, shrimp, tilapia. It was my first attempt and is very green in color. Could that be doing something? Too much fiber? Idk, only thing I can think of.
