Big Discus won't Keep food Down?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have a huge problem now. MY discus is hidding nere the top of the water not touching food not even moving to it. Nothing has changed in water and no one is bulling him
 
Can you put him in a tank by himself??? I'm not sure that's the best thing for him. THey like to be in schools, but it might be best for your other fish.
 
no i dont have another tank. i want to save this fish so bad
 
Normally when you add discus to a tank that has them in it can take a week or so for them to sort out the natural pecking order, I've had this in the past, they can sulk, hang out on their own, not eat etc. but after a week or so they are fine.
Do the obvious, big regular water changes if you don't do this already, try to keep it in the parameters it's lived in before, if it's use to ro give it ro as long as the other fish are ok with it, try a 75% x water with 25% ro if your other fish are not use to it, the others should be fine your tank size sound big enough
 
Guys i have great news the discus is fine shes eating and every thing
 
Great news :)
