Ok, i just purchased what the store called a "red snake skin" discus. I onlu got one and they said he would be fine. The reason i didnt get 3 is because money and they didnt have 3 i liked. They had 2 but i didnt want to have any problems with them fighting. Anyway, i got him home, floated and did the drip aclamaking thing and then let him free. He sank to the bottom and sat on some driftwood. then my big male ram ( ~~1.5" ) comes over to look at the new fish. He stares and twitches and then swims up to him, and bites at his anal fin!!! Im like WTF?? So then the discus moves and comes back to his driftwood, then the ram comes back over to him, looks again and does the same thing!! I'm watching this the whole time and im like NO!!! Anyway..his fins are still intact, which is good, and there aren't any visible wounds/cuts or anything. So then i fed my fish, and the ram ate and has yet to go looking for the discus again. So what happened? Was he hungry? or just intregied by the red and blue stripping on his fin?
Anyway, he is some other info on the tank. 55 gallon. pH-6.6 temp-80 everything else 0 getting more live plants tonight bunch of driftwood 4 rams, and 4 rummynose tetra.
