Here are the 3 discus in question:
http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l62/jcain100/IMG_0949.jpg
The blue scorpion for the past week has been shimmering at the pigeon blood. Then the pigeon blood started doing it back. The PB is the alpha of the tank and ever since this courtship has started he is less aggressive with the others.
For the past few days the blue scorpion has been very territorial over the right half of the tank, allowing only the PB to enter.
Now the domestic brown and the blue scorpion are extremely aggressive with eachother, both charging at eachother head on ALL THE TIME. The PB gets in between them 80% of the time, to stop them, but my blue scorpion ( we will say she, for simplicity) is starting to get all banged up.
She seems to have her vent sticking out ( tried to take picture), and is doing trial runs of the glass. She has gotten darker too and is obsessed with shimmering at the PB. The PB seems to have lost interest.
So my questions :D: what can I do to stop the aggressiveness between the blue scorpion and the domestic brown? I don't want the blue scorpion to have scars on her nose because of this.
Do you guys think the blue scorpion is a female?
Thank you so much!
Sorry for the horrible quality of the pics!:o
