    My two pairs are having a battle in the 120 and at the moment I don't have a tank cycled to separate. They might need a new distraction. Maybe adding my big Marlboro to the mix might get their attention.

    I say no! That Marlboro is a Hans fish? Stendker? If so I would not put it with the Asians. Stenkers are great fish but don’t do well with others. I had 14 and lost all but one and it’s alive but in terrible shape.

    Who beat up who. I can try If it doesn't work their always room for change. Al mentioned that he was successful in the past and as long as it doesn't create cross contamination I am willing to try. You think they would kill my Asians?
    I don't know what I will do I got to think about it I certainly don't want to make it worst.

    Chuck unless the discus are actually hurting each other, sparring and chasing is fine. They are just setting up territories. Often just adding some additional
    Structure is alls it takes to settle the tank.

    As for mixing the stendker, you have had all the fish longbenough now where I doubt there will be a problem with one or the group getting sick. But adding most likely will cause more issues than fix,imo

    Yeah I am going to hold of for now anyway hopefully they will calm down. When I first got them they were paired up differently so that might the issue. plus they all hang out where the food ends up. I will make some structure changes to see if it helps. Thanks Al
