Hi
I have 8 discus currently in a 55G. They are of different sizes ranging from 4" - 6" with the little runt being 3.5".
I have had them for about 3 months, they definitely have grown around 0.5".
The question is I'd like to remove 3 of the discus I don't like and add 3 more.
However I am afraid I will disrupt the pecking order of the discus and have some fish getting stressed out and sick.
I will be removing the little runt of the tank 3.5" who has gotten sick a few times and hasn't grown at all, the biggest discus 6" that chases/pecks the 2nd biggest discus (my favourite) like no tomorrow, and one of the 2 Marlboro discus I have (its fins aren't as nice and it likes to bully the other marlboro around who is much nicer).
I would be adding discus that are around 4.5 - 5".
Hope my explanation is clear.
