I picked up a Flachen and Red Scribbelt almost a week ago from my lfs. This rounds my planted 90g to 7 discus ranging from 2" to <4". I am feeding Aquaon tropical and veggie flakes with Omega One frozen bloodworms. They get fed 3-5x/daily. Sometimes I feed them, for about 10 minutes, until they are full. They are young growing little guys. I haven't got beefheart yet or my dewormer, still waiting. I also have frozen Ocean Nutrition Discus formula but none of them will have anything to do with it.
So, these two knew guys get very dopy after feeding. They hide in a corner, losing all of the little color they have. Sometimes the Red Scribbelt will lay halfway on its side at the bottom. When I see this, I go to the tank and pursuade it to wake up by slowly running my fingers on the outside of the glass by it.
Why do these two fish act so dopy? They have no problem getting themselves some food when I feed. I intend on deworming the tank when my stuff comes in. I can see no signs of external problems on any of the fish and for the most part, they are active chasing each other around. The slightly bigger discus don't much bother with these two inparticular. When they haven't been fed in a few hours or so, all of the discus come to the glass to say high begging for food if I walk up to it, even these two.
