Mean male

[cyberhog05]

Well I had to move my pair into a hospital tank. Its a 29 gallon. I am going to leave them in there since they have had several spawns in the community tank. Now the male is being mean to the female. What should I do?

Maybe move them back? How bad is the aggression? Does the female seemed stressed? Like not eating... Hiding...?

add a third fish...takes the attention away from the female. this has worked for me

Ya she is stressed. They just started eating today after having a severe bacterial infection. Im not going to put them in the community tank again. The male is chasing her around. Hes not doing any damage. A third discus in the breeder tank with them?
