timid discus

[jlw]

Hi
My discus have become very timid. Especially in the morning, they used to follow me looking for food. But now they are all hiding. But at night when the lights are on they are not as bad.
I have a standard 4 food tank
My KH is around 6-7. And I like to keep my Ph at 6.98
Temp 28c
I have a co2 system with 60 bubbles per minute
Ammonia is 0
I have a Nitratreductor attached to one of the filter so there is no nitrate.
Has anyone any idea what could be the problem
Thanks
John

They may have had a fright at sometime.
I had my son when he was young headbutt the tank as scared my fish bad.
Everytime i tried to walk near the tank the were trying to get out the tank anyway possible.Hit the glass at full speed etc..

Took a good 3 weeks for them to settle back down again.
