Hi Everyone,
I currently have 5 discus about 4-4.5 inches in a 90 gallon tank and they can't seem to settle down. It's been about a week. I used to have them in a 3 foot 60-70 gallon tank and they did much better in there.
The tank has a very thin layer of sand 2 pieces of manzanita at the base and back covered,sides 75 % covered.
The five of them look pretty lonely in there, would adding more discus make them braver?
Do they get braver as they age?
I feel terrible, maybe I've traumatized them, I got them as 2-2.5 inch juveniles in August 09. Back then there were 7 to start with and there's been quite a bit of growing pains before I actually started reading Simplydiscus.
Thanks for any suggestions, advice, or insight.
