is it normal for discus to rube against objects.

[Esquire]

Nothing obsessive, but I see every once in a while a juvee discus rubbing up against something like scratching an itch.
Is this normal?

If all the conditions in the tank are perfect you shouldn't see it. Normally there is a parasite bothering it.

It may be just a mild external irritant. Keep the water clean to keep the fluke population to a minimum.

I'm doing 35 % water changes every other day. using prime
7 - 7.2 ph 85-86 degrees F

Anything else I need to look at?

Hi Esquire,

I do daily 50% changes in my 125g, and every so often I have noticed one of my pigeons will rub once against an object (i.e. air line, driftwood). It doesn't seem to be a habit.

Keep up those WC's:D
