I have two 3" discus in qt and one of them is bulling the other not letting it out of the corner, what can I do??

Leave them

Depending the size of you qt tank,you could put in a divider.

[Big-Ken]

Its a 20h, I do have a 30g I could move them to

[Bill63SG]

Bigger tank just gives them more room to chase.20H easy to put divider in.

[Big-Ken]

Ok thanks, I don't know why I didn't think of that.....overthinking a simple solution :screwy:

[Dubiadiscus]

Keep in mind if you put divider in the tank who to say he will not continue to bully after there removed from the qt.

[Bill63SG]

If in qt,assuming going into bigger tank eventually with more discus,shouldnt be a problem.

[Big-Ken]

No there won't be any problems, hopefully they put on some size in qt my alpha in the main tank is a good 1.5" larger

I've had good luck with a piece of driftwood or a plastic plant or two. It's easy to simply take out the tank during WCs and replace afterwards.

I would try to put some driftwood in both ends of the tank.

i have had similar problems and the best think to do is to put a divider and after a couple of weeks set him free and sure he will stop bullying.
