    Default XL Discus Located in Staten Island, NY 5-7"

    Because I am new at this, really not sure what the asking price should be, but these were expensive. These were purchased healthy, but after water change things turned and I can’t seem to get them to eat. I tried almost everything and really just not good. So without hiding or deceiving anyone, they simply won’t eat. For a great price and some experience these can be brought back to the original luster. Please email me at august1223@aol,com

    I would rather take a modest loss and let someone else work these fish with more knowledge

    So here is my advice, raise the temp to about 90 degrees. This might encourage them to eat. What size tank are they in? What are your water parameters? How often and how much water are you changing? What are you trying to feed them? What else is in the tank with them? This also can help determine what problems they might be facing.

    I sent you an email regarding posting your pictures on Photobucket then copy the url to the "add image" of your original post.

    They simply may not be eating because you just got them. How many do you have and what is the tank size?
