Nope! Just fast eaters. I feed the tank at the same time from two different ends to spread the wealth

I started a thread on this but no ones answering me so ill ask you lol.. do you know if it matters whether the tank has sand or gravel?? And it says Discus like calm waters, I have 2 Fluval fx5's set up on my tank now, is that too much water flow??

Dude I'm in central jersey go check out hidden reef in Levittown PA u can get the small discus for $35 and the big ones for $50 they're German bred to so they are bred in higher ph levels and seem to be hardier then the Asian ones here is a pic of the ones I got from there it's a really nice store

Well idk about the current thing, I mean I have discus that play in my air pump thingy so I wouldn't worry. Also as far as substrate goes I've only ever had gravel with my discus but I think sand looks much better and its easier to clean with no nooks or crannies for food to hide and make the water bad which just makes more work for you. I say sand.
