5 new discus

I've got 5 small stendker red Turks from a breeder, they're in their own tank and I've treated them with fluke solve.
They seem keen on food when I approach the tank, but they just don't eat - tried all sorts of food.
Starting to look a bit skinny now.
Any advice would be great, thanks.

Try raising the water temp to 90 F for a week or 10 days, it might help increase their metabolism. I've heard discus can lose their appetite after being medicated.

Re: 5 new discus

What's the tank size. How often you changing the water. What was the seller feeding them. What's the current tank temp.
