Picked up a seeminly older discus today and noticed his eyes-
This may sound silly but do fish get cataracts?

I know goldfish can get cataracts, so why not discus?  Good luck with him, he's pretty!

Hi Robin, are his feces and behaviour normal?  He seems to have alot of "pits" around his eyes.(or is this a normal sign of aging?)
How old is he?

I have no idea! He came from a tank where he was the only discus, and thats pretty much all I know.  He seems to be fine.
