discus hiding under driftwood

Could be a pH swing. What's your pH at? Discus are sensitive to sudden changes. Also, any new tankmates? Sometimes new fish can throw off the vibe.

pH is steady at 6.8, no new fish. But I did add some plants last week. Could that be it?

Plants? Nah, unless you used some weird fertilizer. But if the plants are cool, they should be fine. Maybe just give 'em time. Discus can be drama queens sometimes.

Yeah, plants shouldn't bother 'em. How's the feeding? If they're eating, they're probably okay. If not, might wanna check for parasites or something.

Mine hid when I overfed. Too much food can mess with the water quality. How much you feedin' 'em? Maybe cut it back a bit, see if that helps.

If they're eating and params are good, it's likely just a phase. Keep an eye on 'em, but don't stress too much. Discus are resilient once they settle in.
