"Weekend on the Riviera" Tank...
Ok, I've had hospital tanks, and QT tanks, and display tanks, but now I've had to set up a "time out" tank!\
My newish blue PB from Hans, the one who grew SO fast and is now about 7.5" decided to challenge my Marlboro Red for alpha position a couple of days ago. I put up with all the biting, chasing and bruising for 2 days because my marlboro is a super placid discus, but at his size I figured he'd settle the fight eventually. It didn't happen, he stopped eating yesterday morning and took to hiding whenever he wasn't being chased and bitten.
When I finally got a good peek at him I saw all the bruises and bite marks and decided to put him in time out so that he can heal up for a few days without the harassment. The blue PB is now chasing ALL the other discus, but not picking on just one, so life is much calmer in the big tank.
Marlboro Man took to the new tank immediately and ran right up to the front to ask for food. He's a bit cramped in a 29 gallon tank, but oh well, it was the best I could do on short notice. LOL
Here he is in his "prison"...staring at me in a very accusing fashion. The red marks all over his face are the bruises and bites...poor guy.
