haRg0wbOi Hobbyist Posts: 86 Kudos: 84 Votes: 8 Registered: 28-May-2004	its been maybe about 1 month since i moved my 2 discus into a 50 gallon tank that has been cycled for about 1 year now.the two of them are not swimming around much and are always staying at the bottom, they only come up during feeding time. so my question is, is this normal.the other tank inhabitants are, 4 bronze corys, 4 khulie loaches, 1 pleco, and just recently put in 7 roboras. oh yeah, and my heater with a thermometer reads 80 so does my other thermother but the water dosnt seem to feel warm. could this be the reson for why my discus are not swimming around.
