View Full Version : Large male discus getting harassed!

My spawning male was out of the 90-gallon tank for a couple months, spawning and rearing fry. Now that he's back where he came from, three of the other discus (and one in particular) are harassing him. They won't stop charging at him and butting him unless he hides behind the plants. I'm afraid he will not get enough to eat.

Before his spawning adventure, all the same fish lived in relative harmony. Anyway, everybody was getting enough to eat.

Any suggestions?

How many discus are in the tank?

How about taking the bully out and see if the male breeder can fit back into the pecking order. If he can wait a few weeks and try placing the bully back into the tank. Don't laugh it worth a try. If that does not work take the bully and chase him around a small tank.
