Recently, I have been wondering if my discus are full, or bloated. I posted pictures and you guys said it was fine but I still can't help but worry.
It's my little Cobalt and Marlboro that get the swollen bellies. But they still poop normal, eat, and swim around like normal. What would be the symptoms of an internal bacterial infection?
Also, I usually find my Penang Eruption or Ring Leopard hiding behind my Sponge filter. Not turning dark or anything. But they like to swim with one fin until I approach the tank then they approach me. I don't know if this is normal due to the swimming with one fin.
And finally, is it normal to sometimes see discus with their fins not fully erect? Sometimes I peek in the tank and see one or two of my discus having their fins closed partially, and sometimes I see them quickly flicking their fins for a second.
Sorry for typing a whole story and being paranoid, but I really love getting advice and tips from you guys, on how to provide the best care for my little minions since barely anybody keeps discus in my area, and the ones who do gave me advice like "don't feed beefheart to your discus it's bad" or "80% W/C's are too much, do 20% weekly or you'll let your BB die" and when I see pictures of their discus, some of them are badly stunted.
