Hi All
I'm new to keeping discus. I have six juvenile fish, four smaller ones who all seem perfectly OK and two larger ones who seem to have developed what I think are strange behaviours. One of them seems to spend a lot of its time swimming through the bubble wall often on its side. The other one just lays on the bottom of the tank usually upright but again sometimes on its side. Both of them come immediately to the front of the tank once anybody approaches and are eating and poohing completely normally.
Should I be worried?????????

Welcome to the forum 2088072.

Can you tell us a little more about your setup.

How long has your tank been running, what are the water parameters, and how long have you had the fish?

It's not normal for a fish to lay on the bottom of the tank, so I think we need to investigate further.
