I have had my Discus for a few weeks now they are doing good and growing well. One of them the blue/white is really nasty he has taken over almost half the 90g and wont let the other fish on his side. He isnt the biggest but he is the heaviest built.
Is there anything I can do to calm him down or is he is a bully?

From what I have noticed for the first month they will be more aggression as a pecking order is being created. After a few weeks to a month and a half they should calm down.

one thing i notice with discus is that the more you put into a tank the more the agression is dispersed. of course you can't overcrowd but i'd say about 6 in a 55 tank is ideal and you will have no overt aggression. just remember they are cichlids and that there will always be some pecking going on constantly. as long as they all get enough to eat and there is no bullying i wouldn't be too concerned.
