Discus hang in corner of tank

[Paws&Fins]

Is is normal for 2 Discus to hang in one corner of a tank? It doesn't appear anyone is picking on them. Their color is vibrant and they come to the feeding area quickly. I did recently change decorations.

75g tank, perfect water parameters
Planted tank
2 Electric Blue Acaras
2 Pearl Guaramis
1 Glofish Shark
2 Yoyo Loaches
6 Tetras

Maybe the deco change has them spooked a bit...if they are eating, acting mostly normal, and colors are good, I wouldn't fret over it too much...give them time to adjust

maybe breeding as their new habitat is better for fry?

I agree with Slaphappy, they are probably spooked from the changes in deco. My gouramis did this but changed after a few days.

I'm still trying to figure out if I have a male and a female. They are between 6 and 8 months old and about 4/5 inches in diameter. However, looking at the tail fins it looks like the smaller one (I'm guessing the younger one) is male and the larger one is female. Of course, I'm just guessing. lol

I will be adding 4 more large Amazon Sword plants to the back of the tank this evening. I think I am done with the habitat for a while. I have 6 Honey Guramis in my QT right now that I will move into the bigger tank in about a month.

yeah, dont change the habitat too frequently, they get REAL stressed from that

See answers above - I'm not yelling at you, just figured the caps would be easiest to see.

I try not to change it too much, but I really needed to add plants.

Pictures of my tank (and 4 paws ). I'm guessing the Discus weren't thrilled with the decor changing and got over pouting. They were not hanging in the corner last night. Yay!
