Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello All,
I was hoping someone could explain some of the aggressive behaviors of my discus and any way to reduce them. I have a 45 gal. with one discus, one angel, several rasbora and several neons. I added a slightly smaller discus today. The older discus has spent some time chasing the new guy around.
Does anyone know what triggers this behavior? SOme people have suggested that stripes and/or coloration effect how other fish react, any comments?
Also, the older discus almost seems to know he is being "bad" When I come up to the tank he goes to a corner and hides. But he did this before the new guy came in.
