Look!.....Why Are They Doing This....?

[Kindredspirit]

Hey Guys ~ check out these pictures I took immediately after my wc just now....They are not happy discus! Everything was fine after a few minutes, but they never use to do this .....only the last few days ~

~ until after that night I forgot to put the power back on....Do you suppose they remember? ( I can see Liz coming for me now :o ) Well, they have to remember to an extent...right?

This just started after that first wc that night ~


I wanna know why....if anyone thinks that it is related to that night?:confused:

Hey wasn't the bonsai in the other side of the tank? With the incident, changes in territory and Ms Pringles gone wild maybe their behavior is changing?

They don't looked stressed, injured or sick, to me. How are your other tanks reacting?

A lot ~ as usual, Sandeep ~ I always use tap water...please do not even go there with me okay?:p If it was a water problem per se', it wouldn't go away in a few min would it?

Very observant, Ed:D I love that Bonsai plastic dumb plant! I love Bonsai plants but they are expensive and I would just kill it ~ but, some day;).... I am changing up things every wc in this tank as Ms. P is such a witch and I just kicked the heat back down slowly too...

Three of these discus are such pros when it comes to wc....they never have done this .....I tell them "oh knock it off!" and ~ Kenny's wet pets have grown out of it....strange....

Hey Good Point Ed....my other 20 gal tank is fine after wc's! Ya know, Ed....they are really telling me to "turn on that power Marie!"....lol!

Mine have been doing it too after a water change, I wonder if somethings changed with the water? My water report hasn't said anything though. Ugh, just looked at it and it's for 2006! Looking on their website they don't say anything of what's going on now :( www.scwa.net

Only one tank is doing it though:)

I wouldn't worry about it, they look healthy and not stressed. Mine do that once in a while, I change 70% daily on my tank and as I am refilling it up they sometimes swim all around the tank while I am doing it and other times they all will stay in a corner like yours. But after I am done I can walk up to the tank and they all come racing up to the front because they think that I am going to feed them. I think it is more of a tempermental thing with them, it just depends what kind of mood they are in at the time.

I agree with Scott, mine act the same. Sometimes OK sometime jumpy.
But recover quickly at feeding;

That'll work, Scott! I was thinking lately I had some juvies! I remember when they were all babies I thought I was killing them with wc!

Thanks David:)

It's good to hear that ur discus are doing fine :).....I'd say it's a water quality issue!

Marie, mine do that each and every WC. I bang things in the tank, they all pile up in the corner behind a plant. Once the tank is filling up, they line up at the front waiting for their worm treat that they get after the WC is done. Your guys look fine, not stressed or sick. I wouldn't worry about it. A lot went on in the tank recently so their behaviour could change for awhile.

Thanks Connie! I agree ~ I was not really trippin over it, but they never have done that!.....at least in a long *** time! I wanted to know if they remembered....I won't know til after The IQ Tests are complete:D ( that was a good one! )


What is today?....( one looses track when ya work every day:o ) Saturday!....I knew that ~


~ and my point would be?........how is the job woman?
