i know that its been said that u should keep discus in non turbulent water but my discus seem to like swimming against the current made by canister filter and powerhead. i have 4 in a 3ft and at night , when the lights off, i see them swimming together and it looks cool :D. however when i come for closer look at them they break away. i just wanted share this and let u all know what these are up to when were not looking.

Hi Chris

I have the same thing with my discus, but they do it during the day.

They will take turns in swimming in the current, I’ll have a couple swim for a few minutes, then leave and the next discus or two swim for a while.

It’s quite funny to watch them do this, almost as if it’s a tag team swim.

My younger brother's *cough*really ugly*cough* Silver Dollars do this to.

That is of course until the Big Oscar comes to attack the filter and they're disrupted. But sure enough, half an hour later they're back again...

Maybe it something like how a cat keept itself fit??

it reminds me of mice running all day on those spinning wheels........'swim FOREST swim'!
