Everybody is aggressive!

[mac2b4mic]

Relatively new to the hobby. Ive had discus for just about a year and a half. Recently I have had two pairs start to mate. One pair is in their own tank doin their thing, the other pair is in the community tank. How do I get them to stop attempting to breed? because at the other side of the tank (90gallons, 8 discus) all of the rest are constantly "bickering". I think I may have another pair claiming that side of the tank leaving nowhere for everybody else to go...Does this make sense? How do I get them to just be happy with each other?

Thanks - Mike

you don't..

they are CICHILDS.. they will always bicker..

or just separate all the pairs

They were all fine until their hormones kicked in, up until the first pair was old enough to breed (and I took them out) they all got along just fine. I cant seperate all the pairs, I dont have enough space in my house for that, lol. (plus wife wont let me, lol, I asked to get another tank, whew not a plesent NO, lol)

So then I guess because they are all "mature" is why....hmmm.

Yup! Bickering is nothing...ime true aggression leads to wounds/ death.

don't ask just bring it in. don't say anything until she notices.

Works for me everytime!

just like stated..if it gets to where there is injury..you could always separate the sexes.

Ok, so wait till there's serious injuries, if that happens then separate...thanks folks!
