Hello I am new to the board. I have a 46 gallon Bow-Front tank undergravel filter as well as a Penguin Bio-wheel filter some drift wood live plants and some plastic. My question is I recently added 3 Discus I was very selective as to which ones I purchased. I watched there behavior very active and definatly not shy. Now every time you walk near the tank they dart into the corner they seem to be nervous but still eat good could this just be stress from the move from the LFS to my house any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

give them a day or two to settle, try leaving the lights off for a bit, also try a bit of stress coat or pimafix/melafix to help them settle
