Baby discus hiding and not eating

[Dave Elliott]

I have 8 new young discus in my 75 gal. tank. They're swimming and acting content except one. He doesn't come out to swim, just hides. This has been for two days now. I'm worried because he doesn't get any food. Any ideas?

Thanks Steve, it's a 75 gal tank with 7 small discus, temp At 84, pH @7.4, maxi-jet 600 PW and AC110 filter, no carbon, just bio rings and sponge. thin layer of poolfilter sand substrate. As an update, the little guy did die and was replaced by the breeder. I bought at Great Lakes discus, and they're very helpful. Your thoughts? Thank-you.

Well sounds like maybe an issue if there dark but doesn't sound like that.

i had an issue once to a small discus did the same but he was black, had hex lost a lot of fish but learnt my lesson from that. keep updating on the other fish.
