caroldaisy3 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I have two discus..I got the second one a month or so back and the first one was quite aggressive to it. Now the tables have turned and the newest one is aggressive to the first one. Is this normal behaviour. Would it be a mating thing? Sometimes they go nose to nose, sometimes they are quite happy swimming together. Certainly they are entertaining to watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vervo Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 How big is the tank? Discus generally need to be kept in groups of 5-6 to avoid aggression and 50L per fish. Aggression is not good. The submissive one can get stressed and sick very easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroldaisy3 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Tank is 120 litres. I thought about getting a third discus but have had three before and one got picked on until it died. am somewhat reluctant for that to happen again.

Vervo Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I think the aggression will only go away if the tank is bigger, and there is more discus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
