Hi I have just brought 4 discus from two different spawns 2red turqs and 2 blue turks they the reds are slightly smaller than the blues and one of the blues is a tiny bit bigger that all of them. The biggest blue is actually quite shy and hides behind a sword plant when I approach the tank although this has improved over the week that I have owned them. Come feeding time and its another story he harasses the others, which i am aware is quite normal, the blue and one of the reds just swim around and get on with feeding but the other red doesn't get any. I'm worried that he will die if I don't do something so any suggestions would be appreciated.
some thoughts i had were move him to a ten gallon for a couple of months till he grows more, but worried about him being alone, or section off part of the 40 for him.
the discus are probably 6-10 cm I've brought the biggest i could afford and the biggest from the spawns
40gallon planted 6cardinals, 4rummynose, 1bristlenose, 3cories
canister filter fluval 305
ph6.2
gh2
nitrates<10
ammonia, nitirites0
temp 29c
