Hi,
As some of you know, I have a 185 gal. tank with a 35 gal. sump and 2 UV canister filters. I do 30% water changes 3 times a week, but the tank stays very clean even when I went on vaccation for 3 weeks and was unable to have someone do them for that time. I also have 2 small stingrays (6-7" each) and a baby arowana (7-8") with my 2 four inch discus.
My problem is, the two discus can't establish a good heretical system because they are both evenly matched and very determined. They are beating each other up pretty badly.
I had 2 thoughts about solutions.
#1 since discus are such great parents, maybe I could get a larger adult to maybe break up the fighting? or would it just destroy the 2 smaller ones?
#2 Get a few more 4"ers. If so, how many?
