Adding New Fish

[caseynewton]

I have a 90 gallon planted tank. Currently have two schools of Tetras. Cardinals, and Rummy Nose, They are doing well. I just recently purchased five Discus. They are skittish. Very shy because of the new environment and introduction for first time to other fish.

Would anyone offer recommendations to make them feel more comfortable? Anyone deal with discus before with similar situation? How long did it take them to be completely comfortable with new environment? Thanks for any help!

I've not had discus but my rummynose were that way... They probably just need more time and they'll come around. As long as the other fish are swimming around and the discus know there isn't any danger they should brave up... IMO but like I said I've never had discus hope I helped some ...
