heckel not eating

[gypsy3]

hi all....got 2 heckels a few weeks back, one is eating fine, taking all foods. the bigger one is not eating(about 4 days now) even tho at first he was picking at beefheart. he will have a bit of a go at live food when i feed it, otherwise nothing. i notice he is continually bullied by one of the other discus and as big as he is, he is a very timid fish. would removing the bully help, or do i try other things.he does hide a lot and goes dark, but at other times looks ok. seems like a very stressed fish to me.

would removing the bully help

probably what's causing it in the first place. check for ammonia nitrite and nitrate. what is your ph ???

hi samir....all water paramaters are fine. as i said, the other heckel is going great. the other discus also tried to bully it but it fought back and doesn't get bothered anymore.so should i just get rid of the bully?would be a shame as its a really nice spotted leopard, but i will if that solves the problem. always dreamed of getting heckels and would certainly hate to lose one
