Discus Wont Eat

Question
Three weeks ago I  bought a breeding pair of discus to add to my collection of approx 8. I originally placed them in my large 6ft community tank until I could set up a sepparate tank for them. I noticed that during this period the male was not eating. Last week I transferred them into a sepparate 100lt tank to give them some privacy, in a quieter part of the house. However the male still does not eat. What am i doing wrong? could it be he is stressed or traumatised from the move?  

Answer
hi raymond

It's depend on the fishes. Some fish like to eat in the dark. Some fish like to float their food all the to the bottom, then eat. try nutifin max food. It is one of best food for the fish. I don't think you need to worry too much. If the problem get wrost. let me know

hope i helped
