Hey everyone,

Brought a new discus at the weekend (Sunday) he's not eaten one single thing yet, should I be worried? He's the biggest one I now have 4-5inches along with my 5 other ones I've had since feb which are only 3inches.

I guess they have to work out the pecking order again now maybe he just needs time to settle.

I've tried a few foods, Beefheart, bloodworms and discus granules.

My guess is it needs to settle. Sometimes it's a couple days sometimes a couple weeks. Did you quarantine the new one?

It took mine about a week to start eating once they settled in and worked out the pecking order.
Now they are waiting on me to feed them when I get home in the morning :D

Yeah I think I will start to worry after a week or so :)
