Need advice on new discus added to tank

[Steverd]

I need some opinions on a new discus I added to my 50 gal tank.

I have three other discus in the tank, they are all chasing around this
new white one, any time it comes out in the open, even the smallest one. This is a planted tank, with auto CO2/PH controlled, so there are tons of plants for hiding behind.

Should I be worried, or give it about a week (it's been 24hrs now).
This was the largest at the store and there this one was doing the chasing, so I "thought" this one could handle my mean red discus.

The Red/Orange one is the one that chases ALL the other discus in the tank. Would you move this one to a new tank, or would this just make another discus the dominant one and have the same problem?

Opinions?
Thank you,

I'm no expert, but here's what I have done in the past :

Moved the Agro one (in your case the Red one) into a spare tank if you have one, then while he is in the spare tank do your usual water change (which you should be doing daily anyway) and move a few things around in the tank (driftwood or plants) so that when you are ready to put him back in, he is the "New Guy" to the tank - makes him a bit disoriented and seems to stop the bossiness.

Don't know what it is with the Red ones, but I have a large red Marlboro and he has been like this ever since he was a nipper - but whenever i do the above it seems to take the sting out of him and he settles down.


Hope this helps,

Regards,

Marg.
