Common causes of Stress:
[*]1. Poor Water Quality - High levels of nitrate, nitrite or ammonia; a heavy bacterial load caused from crowded conditions or over feeding; infrequent water changes; gravel in the tank.
[*]2. Inadequate filtration - Ineffective filtration not removing ammonia and nitrite while replenishing oxygen.
[*]3. Shipping - Purchasing from mail order, or a store, young discus fry go without food for several days before during and after they are shipped. Symptoms can be delayed a few weeks, careful observation of the feces during quarantine is advised.
[*]4. Colour Enhancing - The use of hormones and other chemicals to enhance colour create stress. Compounding the situation this usually happens just prior to shipping.
[*]5. Lighting - Intense overhead lighting or an aquarium facing a window. Utilize a night light to avoid a sudden shock when the main overhead light goes on and off.
[*]6. Tank placement - Avoid high traffic areas and placing the tank to low to the ground.
[*]7. Tank mates - Avoid the fast moving dominant species, especially the nocturnal fish. Discus are best kept by themselves.
[*]8. Temperature - Low water temperatures over time will impact discus. Minimum temperature 84F or 29C. Fry should be initially kept at 86F or 30C.
[*]9. Shot gun remedies - Or the wrong medication, indicates you are usually guessing at a problem. In many cases discus issues are more environmental, not one that requires medication. A continuous bombardment of medication negatively impacts internal organs such as the liver and kidneys.
Symptoms of stress; darkened stress bars; hiding; facing the back of the aquarium; the reluctance to eat; white fluffy feces. It's well documented that flagellates can live in small numbers in the intestine as part of their normal flora. When the discus is weakened from stress, the flagellates multiply dramatically consuming the intestinal contents and left untreated can lead to death.
There are a number of resistant strains of flagellates circulating the hobby, so extended treatments may be necessary along with an increase in temperature.
Healthy Discus;
Have good colour, not dark; Clear bright eyes, not cloudy; Fins are erect, not clamped;
Their feces is dark in colour, not white or yellow and stringy; They are responsive to a good quality food;
Are often seen swimming throughout the aquarium, playing by pecking each other, a sort of tag.
