I just purchased 3 discus on Sunday and in the last 2 days two of the three have gotten a clear bubble on them. My Checkerboard got it yesterday and it is located just above his eye. This morning I noticed that the Yellow Pigeon has a bubble on his side. There are no other fish in my tank. After going online and reading numerous articles, the closest thing to this symptom seems to be that there is a super saturation of gas in the aquarium. Does this sound possible? If so, could this be caused by my bubble wand being too strong? Should I turn off the air pump for a while? Do I continue to feed the fish or let them alone and keep the tank dark? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Note: All fish are eating, their colours bright and their fins high although today the checkerboard seems a little more skittish than he was yesterday.
