    Hi all,

    Need some help please...
    Just purchased 6 Peruvian angels this monday and they have acclimatized very well... I also bought two discus fish the same day..

    The Pet store I got the discus told me to feed them BW, but Everytime I drop a cube the angels gobble it up..

    So my question is can I expect the discus to start feeding aggressively (or let's say competitively) anytime soon, or wil they just end up starving?

    I'm kicking myself for not doing more research on this before the purchase as the discus cost me quite a bit..

    Angelfish leaving nothing for discus

    I worked in a LFS before, and attended to a tank which had both. The angels are very aggressive and will not stop eating, often depriving the discus . The way I fed is to distract the angels and feed the discus. Works in a large tank (4 by 2 by 2 I think) that is heavily planted

    How big is your tank? You should have more Discus instead of angel fish
