Hi,

I would like to ask a question to the group. I have recently purchased
3
diskus for my 80 gallon tank, which I keep together a group of lemon
tetra,
neon tetra and a few blue rams. I have got 2 wild browns and one
pigeon
diskus. In the beginning the biggest of them all (a brown) was the
boss and
fought about space with the pigeon one. Now that has changed. The
smallest,
but also the one with nicest colors has taken over and is bullying the
big
brown one. The pigeon was also bullied in the beginning, but they are
no
going well together. It has come so far that the big brown one does
not eat
anymore and is hiding especially when I feed them, which I do with
flakes
and bloodworms. i also started to keep in the background, just in case
the
fish is affraid or stressed by my movements. He/She seems also to be
out of
the good company of the other two diskus, still. I am wondering
whether
getting another brown diskus could change this as I do not want to
loose my
little "investment". Bullying from the others was especially strong in
the
beginning, when feeding.

The fish should be fairly young. All of the diskus I was told by LFS
are
about 4-5 months old.

I would appreciate some advice!

Sven



Here is a link to a decent forum for Discus:

From your brief description my guess is a heximita infestation On the
forum their is a disease and medication area that will detail the
diagnosis and treatment options. Perhaps you can read up and decide on
how to proceed. There is much to learn.....
