Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi,
I'm a new member, I'm trying to act quickly, before my discus gets worse. I've got a small discus, she's 2 years old and only 3" tall, got her from a breeder who couldn't "use" her, and she hasn't grown in the year we've had her. She's normally very active in our community tank, but has been hiding the last 2 days. When I've seen her out today, she's "floating" in the middle of the tank and seems to go diagonal while floating. I've also seen her spit out food, although she hasn't eaten today. Could she be constipated? I've read epsom salt can cure constipation, but wanted get a second opinion before treating her.
Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
