in my 55 gallon i have 4 discus "Red pidgin,Turquoise blue, Turquoise Red, and Snakeskin blue" I am not sure what one of the above is haveing this issue but i know the fish by its color, at first when i got this fish he was with one other discus, and he was blue with dark bands going down him like a normal discus. Recently i have noticed that this discus was dark he would show his colors some times like when all the other discus were out and not in hiding. The Discus shows no sign of stress he acks normal, in fact when all the other Discus run and hid from me coming into the room, he is the only one that is almost happy to see me, yet he is dark.
my prams are
PH-6.7
KH-2-0 ??
GH-3
NO2-0
NO3-10
NH3/NH4-0
temp-86F
I am feeding live black worms for food, it seams this at the point is all they will eat, i am implying a method to see if i can get them to eat frozen food. I take a air line hose and attach it to a syringe that i got from the wisdom teeth Doc. and i suck up the black worms, i then stick the hoes filled with black worms, put it in the tank then shoot them out, i have gotten to the point where the Discus come up to the tube ready for feeding time, and i also have been working on how far down the tube i put my had(5 in. from the end) so i think i might be able to trick them by rinsing frozen blood worms and rinsing them like i do the Black worms and implying the same method i have been
as far as the darkness of my one Discus, Does anyone have thoughts??
your help is greatly appreciated
