New Discus....

[cmorain42]

I just added a new discus to my 150 gal tank..there is one other discus in there...the new discus is a little smaller than the older one. the eldest one keeps bullying my new discus and i was wondering if this will eventually stop?

they are cichlids and they always to do that when you add just one. how big is the new one? and how many in your tank?

 

[cmorain42]

there is just two discus..and the new one is 3 inches maybe

Its a bad idea to put a smaller fish in with a bigger established fish because he already has his territory set. You should always try and add fish that are bigger than the already established. It should slow down after a while but they will always try and show dominance.

well there is another problem, they do better with group of 6. 2 is not good.
