having troupble with my wildies.

[James_H]

Hi have had my discus for about 2 months now and everything has been going fine although they been a bit shy but from what id'e read them being wildies it was normal they were feeding fine until begging of this week where they've been hiding most the time.

Water is fine there's nothing in the tank which is bullying them nothing spooking them from out side lighting isn't too strong. Ive offered them tetra prima and beef hear mix and improvit pellets. Cant think of anything else to do :( sooo any idea's would be appreciated please.

thanks in advance

James

good luck mate, try filtering with activated charcoal if that solves it its probably something in your water.
