Freshman bro, I use to house big discus with neon tetra and I found out that the discus do hunt the tetra in there...

oops.. paiseh

.. Thanks for the info bro Koji™ !!
I was always under the impression that discus is a mildly aggressive cichlid.

comm-ing them in big tank will reduce the chances of tetra kenna makan?

or must also add in more complicated deco to hinder the 'predator' movement?

Cheers!

I use to think like you do. Discus so gentle how to hunt tetra? But then I was wrong for I keep seeing lesser tetra each day and I did manage to see discus chasing after the tetra in there
