    Short sighted Discus

    Hi,

    My disucs of 7 years has got a bit of a crooked mouth and seems to misjudge the distance of her food. So at the moment I have her in a quarantine tank so that she can take her time trying to eat which isn't going very well.

    Could this be an age related issue? Is my discus short sighted?

    Well isn't that lovely to have one of that age in your care! Shows how well you have looked after her/him.

    I would say it is age related, I had one that got so old its skin looked like leather but he still ate and swam and generally had quality of life when that declined however I decised to euthanize him.

    I cannot say you should do that or even if it is age related just thought I would let you know my story- he was about 9yrs at the time.
    Cheers Kath
