How to reduce aggression furing feeding time?

[dark_spell]

I'm having problems with two of my discus. One of them harasses the other one during feeding time. He leaves the other ones alone though. After feeding time, they are 'friends' again and swim together and all. Should I be worried?

Nope. You are just seeing what animals do. It is entirely natural. The best thing that I can offer is too make sure you spread the food out so everyone has a shot at getting some of it.

Nah I don't think so. They just get competitive for food. Try spacing the food out along tank when feeding so they all get some!

yeah I will spread out the food more! THanks! :)
Good thing it's nothing to worry about. I'm just scared that it will injure the other guy and it's a good thing they don't have sharp teeth! :p

Do you only have 2 discus in the tank?

I don't think so Eddie, he said "He leaves the other ones alone though" As in other discus, I think.
