Discus pecking at teacup!

[DiscusManiac11]

My teacup stingray is eating and all but the only problem is the discus! They keep pecking ay him! Any advice? Needed asap!

how often are ur discus fed?

 

[sostoudt]

they dont like him. in saltwater its generally a bad idea to keep other fish with sharks and rays(alot of fish go for there eyes and blind them), dont know if this applies to fresh, just something to keep in mind.

i like you for some reason LOL....


i gotta agree here one of them should be moved..... you could try to increase the food on the discus but it may not be cause they are hungry... are any of them at breeding size???

I doubt the discus are pecking due to hunger. I keep 3-5inch discus with my rays and they are fine. they even eat off of the rays back during feeding if food falls on their backs. I would guess that since the ray doesnt really set a territory for itself and the discus do, then the ray may simply be invading the discus space.... or the discus are just curious. You could see if increasing their feeding amount helps. If not, move the discus.

Either move the discus or ray
