Very Strange Behavior. Any ideas why?

[chaoslite]

I have 125g. In the tank I had 9 discus. Two weeks ago I added a female Red Turq and after a day or two of chasing the new kid, all was well. Last week I added a Golden Melon and ended up with a serious Gangland Beat Down.:bandana: Three of my albinos would corner and attack the new fish at the same time. If she tried to escaped they would cut her off and beat her down again. She spent a week trying to avoid these fish. I did not see a decrease in the attacks so I pulled her and she is now hanging out with my three juvies, having a good time. She is very laid back and so were my albinos until she moved in.

Does anyone have any idea why the three will not leave her alone?

Yup, your discus are mean! ;)

ROFLMAO. I was thinking maybe they were racists and they just don't like orange. They did not beat up on the Turq the week before.

LMAO! So what you are saying is she's a sassy black lady?

Just when you think you've heard it all. :D

[chaoslite]

Warlock you kill me...lol

Eddie She was the brightest fish in the tank. Maybe she hurt their eyes....lol Do they make sunglasses for discus?

Chad She has a sassy black owner so maybe I rubbed off on her. ...lol

Maybe I should just add more bright orange fish so they can share the love.

[Chad Hughes]

Maybe she just needs her own crew... Do you think you have gang activity in your tank? :D

Yup, she needs her own crew for sure! ;)

[chaoslite]

I am sooooo NOT starting another tank. No way no how! She can hang with the juvies while the Albinos get shipped off to reform school OR GET SOLD.

Starting a for sale thread now.

"Three Albino Hooligans for sale. Must not be in a tank with bright orange fish or some fish is going to get shanked.":o

Thats right, GANG MEMBERS!

[chaoslite]

Where did I go wrong? They live in a nice neighborhood. They went to good schools. I should have paid more attention. I can put up with the smoking and drinking. Oh and lets not forget the tats. But violence has never been part of our home. Oh wait I did own the Ike and Tina of discus. Never mind.

All kidding aside do you think it could be the brightness of the fish?

Definitely.

He's bad a$$ enough to handle himself in a tank full of gangsters! If any fish could set them straight, that fish could!

[chaoslite]

Mmmmmmmhmmmmmm See that is what I am talking about. OH CHAD!!!

But what if he hurts himself cleaning up my tank and can't produce babies? Never mind. I am getting gang of orange fish and sending them in to kick some Albino booty.
