Do Your Discus Rest Slightly Sideways?

[DiscusKeeper403]

Hey,

One of my Discus tends to like to go a little sideways when he rests. He tends to also like to rest on objects like terra-cotta pots. He swims about normally, and eats with a healthy appetite. It doesn't look like swim-bladder, again, because he swims normally and regularly. His colors are great, but I wanted to make sure this was normal, and to see if any other members Discus do this.

Mine will do that sometimes. I think its normal cause i walk in and they swim up to the front of the tank as usual.

Sounds normal don't worry. Basically as long as they are not black, eating and show interest in you they are ok.

i have 8 discus and only 2 of mines do this at night
they also do it when i am cleaning out the tank.
its maybe a hiding technique from the wild

Okay cool.


I see him doing it when I get close to watch. Thats probably why.
