Sometimes as Jacquie has said they do hide but also he might not be well. Have a really close look at him and treat if you see anything. Let us know whats going on. Trace

niggit Fish Addict Posts: 631 Kudos: 282 Votes: 0 Registered: 29-Jan-2003	as far as i can see he is fine. he's still eating, normally coloured, holding fins erect, not breathing heavily. however, i think that the other two discus i have may have paired up. they have been pestering him a little for a while, but maybe now he has decided he's had enough. if they are a pair, do i have to remove the "single" discus? i don't really have anywhere to put him... suggestions?

Is the 1 discuss smaller then the others too? I have one pair now of big ones and only tiny one, but he is super happy and just does his own thing even those the pair sometime pick on him, is quicker and can hide easier then the big ones..
