Put a divider in the tank and buy about 6 more discus to spread aggression...

They'll be lonely until you get a group of 6 or more, 10 is preferable but only if you've got a large tank.

Discus, especially younger ones are schooling fish and feel safety in numbers...

I have no experience in keeping discus in small numbers myself, but from what I've read on here they don't do well in small groups.

i guess i did a big mistake by buying 2...they were expensive too...i should have research more...i learn my lesson from doing that to any discus. thx alot moon
