ok so here is the story
i have a 37 planted (probably 30g of water)
LFS was going out of business and i picked up 3 medium/large discus from there. 2 snakeskins (around 5 inches) and 1 red melon (3.5-4 inches)
As it went, they were all kept in separate tanks, but the snakes paired, and are eating ok (although very slowly) flakes/frozen bw. They do not let the red melon eat what so ever. Red stays in the back when the lights are on (7-8 hours a day) and comes out at night. When he does venture out to look around during feeding times (not often), they run him into the back again...
yes i know its because they are territorial so i have to get another tank for either them or him..
My question is:
What sized tank should i get for either growing him a bit or putting the pair into it and conditioning?
The main (37) is planted and the food drops to the gravel... i was thinking of feeding live black worms and am afraid they will fall into the gravel (ruining the water)
any suggestions would be great
