Wooo I got my new Discus :) (with pics) - Aquarium Advice

Steven_Askham · 08-06-2005, 08:18 AM

Well went to the store and bought the 4 discus. The owner of the store informed me off dancing between the two medium sized discus. Any way I got them home and put them in the tank floating in there bag. I sat and watched there colours change from the dark coating to there normal colours and saw 2 shaking. I thought maybe my water is cooler than the stores lol. But after keeping cichlids before I began to think that this is courtship i.e. "Dancing" could this be true ?

*My discus are fine and are currently seem to enjoy there new home"

Is it normal for them to be staying in a corner together and not to be interested in food. I have only had them for about 2 hours.

lol

Yeah, probably lol my dwarf gourami was like that, and still kinda is

Fluff .... I am not sure on age but they have been in the [acronym:4d1d80959a="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:4d1d80959a] for about 2 monthes. Not many people in my area keep discus. Any way the size's of the fish are approximatly
2 inches in diameter. In height the largest is about 3 inches, and the rest are about 2 / 2 .5 I am trying to get some pic's now.

Please tell me what you think.

Let BrianNY confirm this but I think they are to young to be "courting". Also, I wouldn't be to concerned about them huddling in the corner. It will probably take them a few days to get comfortable with their new surroundings. Nice looking fish.
