Hello everyone, Iām new to the forums. So Iām gonna begin my first post with a bit of a bang. My Discus are driving me crazy. It all started in August after I got back from vacation, I found two of my 11 dead. I have a 125 gallon tank, discus, angelfish (Small), tetras, rainbows, clown loaches, rose line sharks, the whole nine yards. So I just assumed the deathās were nothing. Then a month later another one dies with nipped fins, then another one, and yesterday another. Now this has nothing to do with water quality, itās just chaos aggression that I donāt know how to fix. At the moment I have a really aggressive Marlboro Red, two Cobalts, and Wild Green, and a snakeskin. The Marlboro is the boss, but thereās chaos with everyone else as well. I kept Africans for a while so I know what itās like, but I switched to discus thinking they would be easier. I even got a reimbursement from the manger of my LFS because I actually bought a Columbia teacup stingray that everyone thought would work with my discus. The discus killed it in three days by nipping on th edges of its disc. Then the manager thought that the teacup was just stressed and weak for the reason it was getting picked on, got another for free, same thing, 3 DAYS!!!!!!! They killed it the same exact way. I was going to pull both out but I have school and I canāt monitor it all day long, and it doesnāt begin when I first put them in. Itās just a disaster.
Iām about to trade in all my discus and get myself another teacup stingray. The aggression is just too much, one of my discus that died had gashes on the top of his head, thereās my blue green discus that just hides 24/7 because when he comes out, the cobalts chase him to the ends of the earth. Most are adult discus by the way. So I need your opinion, will my tank be too barren without discus, itās a 125 gallon, with around 100 fish not including the discus. I loved that stingray as well, itās really tempting me.
Thanks
