This is a weird question for a discus forum, but how can I prevent pairing from happening? I don't want to raise fry, I just started keeping discus in the last year so I'm still working on the basics. What is everyone else doing to keep their discus friendly. I'm space limited and only have a 55 gallon to work with. I have 5 discus (approx. 9 months old) which have grown up together and are at the 5inch mark (except one that has not passed the 3.5 mark). I have eggs every couple weeks and it's awful. Everyone is hiding. I want my peaceful tank back. Can anyone suggest something that does not require a second breeding tank or getting rid of my other 3 fish. I want to have a bigger tank and keep more in the future, so these guys are important to me.
