My tank's smaller, but I never had issues. Maybe it's the Rams? Heard they can be kinda feisty too. Just a thought.

Yo, my Discus were straight-up bullies till I rearranged the tank. Now they're too busy exploring to mess with the others. Try moving stuff around, might cut the tension.

I'm new to Discus, but my LFS said they might chase if the water's too soft. Have you checked your GH and KH?

Same here! Rescaping worked wonders. Gives 'em new territory to claim without fighting over old spots.
