Discus aggression?

[M0oN]

I've been watching one of my mosaic chase a red spotted green a good two or three inches larger than it around the tank for the past half hour, last night when the tank lights were off the same mosaic and a red turk were "dancing" for eachother and doing what I thought might be breeding behavior?

Just wondering what anyone thinks about this...

[Carol_Roberts]

How old are they and how long have they been in the tank together?

[M0oN]

No clue on their age, Jeff would know...maybe 6 months?

Been in the tank for about 2 weeks now...maybe a bit longer...

[Carol_Roberts]

Too young for breeding then - still deciding pecking order.

I had this problem before as well.

I've read on other posts there is common in young discus that one try to be "Mr Boss" and will pick on the others. I also read that the more discus the less pick... or perhaps I should say less pick in only one fish. Numbers I've heard is with at least 5 or 6 less pick will occur.
