How to lean out Discus behavior problem

[Bizzaro]

?? i have 6 and they still tend to lock lips and pick on each other.... even the smallest of the six gets in on it. I find him picking on the biggest bully. Are their any ditcher fish i can put into the tank to let them pick on them instead of each other.


PS give me a reason to buy more discus to cure the problem :D.

Nope, they only hate their peers. :)

So more discus targets is the best way.

You could try cardinals but they make an expensive feeder fish. LOL

Discus are cichlids and they are extremely territorial.

they also seem to get really mean around feeding time.. And when not feed they are a drift.?

Thats right, they want all the food for themselves.
