[shark]

help, I got 4 new discus today from seletar farm. reach home found out 1 discus acting strangely. it doesnt look sick but it just turn / lay side way when the light is ON. the other 3 pc are ok..

after I turn Off the light, it go back to normal posture and swim normal again. then when I ON the light.. it lay side way again.. see video link below

anyhow know what happen???? kindly advise. Thanks

maybe he got double personality. At night it is a discus, day time it is a stingray or may it a vampire fish (cannot see day light)

This is a Commando Discus. When lights on, prone position to avoid enemy detection. Lights off, cheong ah!

Weird, never seen such interesting behavior before.

bro, discuss tend to have such behaviors esp. when u just switched the light. Give it time to adapt to the sudden brightness. This is a normal reaction when the place was in darkness suddenly there's such brightness... the fish is reacting to it.. my arros are worse, they anyhow jump...

No worries...bro..

How about leaving the lights on 24/7 and see how?

i had a few discus like that. it should be fine...
