Liz that tank is perpetually a battle royale... I have never had a more ornery group of discus. 5 in a 75 GAL did nothing to calm their Engines. Added driftwood and potted plants...no change. I decided to bump up the numbers to 8 hoping to minimize the fighting. I added 3 more F1 wild crosses.. one of which is a male I bred before. It really changed nothing. The most promising is one if the group has staked out the far side of the tank as its own.


These guys have been like this for years.. even.when they were in a 125 gal. no space is enough. I think I stumbled on the discus mean gene.. Testosterone is not lacking in these fish
I pulled one of the group I suspect to be male and have paired up now with a blue snake female.



I will keep you posted..
