I have recently gotten back into keeping discus. I have had expeirences breeding briliants, pigeons, and various tank raised species. I've got a 75 gallon planted tank with 6 med (3" +) blue faced heckles. Every thing is tiptop in the tank.

My question is whats up with these fish, they seem content enough just the most honery darn things, as aggresive as some africans I've raised. Is this typically of Heckles? Very teriotorial

I'm guessing that there are at least 2 males as these 2 have divided the tanks amongst them.

They'll settle in once the pecking order is established, wilds are a little more feisty than domestics, but no harm is ever done, Just trying to decide who's the boss. Ken
