Hey guys, I have 8 3-6" discus in a Planted tank, They have all been great, eating good, when you come up to the tank, they meet you at the top, 3 of them will even eat out of your hands. For about the last week, when you come up to the tank, they will come up to the top like always, but then when you put the food in they all scatter, and splash water all over the place. Then they will come back and start eating, but then it's like the falling food spooks them, they all scatter again. I'm not sure what the problem is. This is a 135gal Planted tank, look in the show tank section to see pics. Water is changed 50% twice a week. Water paramiters are Ph 7.0, Gh3, Kh4.5, Amonina 0, Nitrites 0, Temp 88. The only think that I can think that might be diferent is that I had then at 92temp for the first 3 months that I had them just to make sure that they were going to do fine in the planted tank and not get sick. There has been no signs of anytype of external problems and no signs of any internal problems. I have slowly dropped that to 88 over the last month. their diet consist of BW,BH,BS,Colo bits, and Flake. Anyone have any advise??
