I just got 2 Red Marlboro Discus and they have not eaten much since arriving two days ago. Maybe I just don't notice when they are eating, but it seems as if one will nibble on the flake and then spit them back out, and the other wont eat period. I've also tried special chiclid pellets and they wont eat them either. Is this normal? Are my fish just not hungry? Any help would be great!
Discus Not Eating!

Discus can take a while for them to eat once they are in a new environment. Water quality, pH and other factors will play a role in how well they do in your tank. Also, what are your nitrate levels like?? High nitrates will stress the discus and when discus are stressed, they wont eat. Do a large water change and see how they do. Also, bump the temp into the high 80's until they start eating....
