Hi
I have a discus which is spitting food out.
He seems to be trying to eat the same piece several times and spitting out each time. This is the case for granules which are slow sinking for discus, flake food, and freeze dried blood worms.
He does seem to sometimes not spit the food out....but certainly 99% it seems.
Other than this he seems very healthy. Good colour and is bulliying the other 3 discus (Smaller) in the tank.
Any advice?
Will this type of thing just come and go? It's only been happening for 1 day. Before this he has eaten lots.
I understand there is a parasite that can cause this but it would come with white excretions. No sign of this yet......
Basically just looking to see if there is something that should be done I would like to get onto it early. Otherwise if it is something which just happens from time to time i'll know to just monitor.
Cheers
