Well it all started with my Snake Skin having a growth spurt and then battling for position of boss with the red turq and Snaky won.........for a week. :lol:

Now today I saw the Ocean Green has had enough of all the bulling and had a go at Snaky and now is the boss of the tank.

The whole time today the others were above the plants side by side in the tank watching the whole fighting below. Don't need to bring back the roman fights in the arena I have had it at home! :lol:

I know what you mean, that is why I only have one plus an angle fish. I thought that same thing, "I only want a community tank with two nice angel fish". Ya right, the chances of a pair, not very. But it happened, the male was so aggressive that I had to get rid of him as the female whom was the prettier fish would have a chance to live. They (discus and angels) are true cichlids and they sure can show it.

No actually, Discus are very hard to get here as the LFS don't stock them due to the demand for them. So I was very lucky and very happy to get the one I have. One Discus one Angel = no fighting ( as of yet). All is very peaceful. I just hate watching the fish fight.

What size of tank do you have?

Good luck to you.... :D
