Yes. They're just figuring out which 2 are the dominant ones. Give them time and you will know which two are a pair.
Please help tell me if there is a pair with these fish

Very worried as one of the male fighting constantly is getting darker in color
If you can tell which is the dominant male you may want to move the pair, or the less dominant fish to another tank.

I would remove the smaller darker fish or section him off...the other 2 have nicer shape overall and seem fond of each other.
In the video i think the female just laid the eggs on the java fern and the dark one is devouring it.
The female just couldn't careless ; and letting the two guys fighting it out all over the place to get near her.
Not sure my observation is correct.
Thanks dano and liz i think i will take the advice to separate the darker discus

Look at him after all the scars from the fight and still not backing off. I was hoping to pair of this guy as he has some potential for tiger pattern.
Below pictures of the other two

The other 2 have a much nicer shape than the dark one, and some vertical barring on 1 of them...you may just get some tiger's out of the pair yet...if they bind and become proven. Very nice looking discus
Omg I need to update this

Its called aquarium grid divider. Its wise to get the transparent one as the black one will not let light penetrate and make the aquarium more gloomy.

12 hours and counting the female is fanning the eggs non stop not taking any food and breaks from it. The irresponsible male just go around doing his own business eating up everything i trow in the tank.
Hopefully the eggs don't turn white.
