not all the discus are happy

[JodyF]

Hi all

Any ideas on stoping bullying in a group of discus I have 5 discus all about 3.5 4.5 in size every time I feed on of the biggest one chases 3 of the smaller ones away and I have to feed them in the corner that they are hiding in.Once the food comes down they feed as well. All the water conditions are fine and all the fish are in good health and I worm them once a month. Do I need a bigger tank that is the only thing I can think of .My tank is 37 gallons.It has a gravel bottom and is planted with lots of cover.

any ideas
thanks

I would suggest getting them into a 55 gallon as soon as you can. That is a pretty small space for 5 4"+ discus.

I have looked in to a 120 gallon tank how many discus could I keep in that. Is the small tank the reason for the bullying.
Thanks for the help
