I believe 1 of the balloon rams has taken that responsibility, but apparently the aggressive blue German ram had other things in mind. Yesterday, I discovered both blue germans laying and fertilizing eggs on one of the large swords leaf in the aquarium. He seems busy with that at the moment...

You were correct about the balloons as they seem to be more territorial than the others. I have noticed one of the balloons and one of the german blues have been a bit aggressive towards the bolivians. I wasn't sure if they would eventually leave them alone for the most part. As for...

UPDATE: All went suprisingly well. The rams were acclimated and added at the same time. I did add food to the aquarium first to deter the discus. The rams were amazingly relaxed and immediately started eating. The discus nipped once but the german blue ram turned sideways and started...

Having one happy healthy discus is fine with me :)

In reference to the discus in the aquarium, it was originally a group of 7 that I tried to rescue from someone. They were all only about 2" but were in really bad shape. Sadly I could only get 1 to survive. I was scared to put anything else in the aquarium for a while but the discus is still...

The aquarium is 6 ft by 2 ft and is heavily planted with driftwood and rocks. There is a large open area in the middle for swimming. I also have tunnels I made in certain areas covered in large rocks to help with territories. But like I said I haven't had more than a pair in an aquarium at...

There are 2 german blue, 2 electric, 2 gold balloon, and 2 bolivians. I was worried about putting anymore to calm down on aggression. I've never had more than a pair in an aquarium before and I heard they can be territorial.

They are bigger than his mouth for sure but would the discus harass them too much at their size? I've seen rams aggression before when breeding but with small fish and I wasn't sure how well they could hold their own against a discus.

I have a discus about 4" wide and I purchased a bunch of Ram cichlids to go into the aquarium. They are still in the quarantine tank but are almost ready to add to the bigger aquarium. My only worry is the size of the rams. They are maybe an inch long including tail. Are they too small at...

Can anyone tell me what is going on with this discus and if the API general cure will treat it? It's a friend of mine fish and she said it seemed to appear out of no where and that no other fish in the tank are doing it.
