Hello Dears,
i would like to get Help from you guys as i'm not totally beginner in this hobby but new to discus fish keeping, now i'll throw some info about my tank
it is a 125G planted tank with a nitrogen cycle up and running from 5-6 months. with some angel fish and platy and tetras in it with canister filter sunsun 404B and a normal sponge filter
- now i'll tell what mistakes i have made
- i bought the first couple discus fish 4 days ago
- then i bought the second couple 2 days ago
- and yesterday the last couple so i have now 6 juvenile in total
- i didn't buy all of them at once because i thought 2 is enough then 4 is enough and when i watched YouTube videos almost all of them recommended that they should be group of 6 minimum
- and that made my fishes stress out and hide
- another thing they recommended the tank should be just for discus so i stressed them once again when i tried to move things around while i'm taking out the other angel fishes and tetras....etc
- one of them is dominant and won't let the others eat properly and i'm afraid that it would ruin my water parameters if i try to put more food in it for the other fishes
please help me out
here is a video link so you can see the aggression behavior
