    Bruise

    This is what happens when discus meets glass hard. Don't even know what spooked him.

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes; after that, who cares?! He's a mile away and you've got his shoes!

    This guy is the second biggest in the tank and is the lowest in the pecking order. He looks like Harvey two face.

    I think I can see the shock waves...
    Did he lose all the blue from behind the pectorals?
    Is he improving?

    We've seen this before Woodsie. It looks very dramatic, but it will eventually resolve, although it may take a very long time. It's a pity, because he's a good looking fish.
    Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P

    Its very slowly starting to fade now, hasn't slowed him down any just looks dreadful. Must have hurt, even his eye on that side went black. Now he has a red eye again. Yup lost all the colour on that side (went to a really washed out blue)
