Hey guys, im not sure if anyone has had this problem, but my 1 week old mature discus has yet to eat food, but I catch him from time to time picking on the plants... He is still VERY shy and hides, and times he seems as if he is going to pick at the gravel and then just backs off.

The one time i saw him picking at the graveil, he spat out whatever he took in, and then started to twitch his head like crazy from left to right...

Any ideas?? Could the eating of the plants mean some sort of internal illness???

Regards to all!
