I have recently gotten four fat and beautiful Royal Blue discus for my tank. They came from a local breeder, and in his care they were peaceful and friendly.
In my tank, they spend most of their time squabbling about their pecking order. They're not ganging up on one particular fish, but they are scratching themselves up a bit during their deliberations.
The breeder claims that this is caused by too few fish...which may not be the most unbiased advice ever. Will adding more fish to my tank cause them to mellow out?
My tank specs:
100 gallons
pH 6.6
no ammonia, nitrate or nitrite
temp 87F
