New Discus Problems

[Curt Schroder]

I have had my first discus for a week now. With one exception, they seem to have gotten over their initial shyness. However, they do not yet have good appetites. I have seen only one actually take food - mysis shrimp. Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions anyone might have.

They often take a while to eat, or to eat in front of you.

You could try soaking food with crushed garlic, or different foods such as frozen bloodworms or live blackworms.
