Discus Pair want a divorce??

Re: Discus Pair want a divorce??

A good divider is egg crate also known as a light diffuser. You can buy it cheap at Home Depot and cut it to the size you need. You also need to buy some suction cups to put on both sides of it to keep it straight up in the tank.

Hi, thanks, is there any chance that you could post a picture of one of these? I'm in the UK and we dont have a Home Depot - also our 'egg crates' are cardboard lol

Thank you for the advice though - much appreciated!

The egg crate is the plastic squares that is seperating this heckel from the rest of the tank

Just let them work out themselves. Aggression are normal for discus

Thats great, thank you very much

There has been a slight improvement in their behaviour today - in so much as they fight every 10minutes rather than 5 and not for as long ha, but its still an improvement! thank you all for the advice.

nitingdedao - thanks for the advice at what point though would you say agression becomes too much? i.e. at what point would you recommend seperating them - when visible scarring is showing? or after the first 'attack'?

many thanks once again everyone - your help is much appreciated.

An old post but no one mentioned the 10% WC daily in 30 gal tank. Just wondering what TDS would have been with very little new water.
