Hi.
I put in a new discus into my tank yesterday. But he is being persued and bullied by another discus that is slightly smaller than it and has been in the tank for about a week. Of course the new discus is showing signs of stress. I have not got another tank for it to go into. Any ideas. Should I return it to the vendor? Both the discus in question are fully grown. The tank is 300litre and has 5 other 3 inch discus in the tank.

just let them sort themselves out , if you like add some drift wood so the other fish can hide away from the bully.

They need to sort things out. Creating hiding spaces so that the new one can build some courage and self-esteem. Discus have a pecking order!
