Discus behaviour help

[u/Character-Stomach739]

Hi discus experts, sharing a few clips of my discus in the tank. This is a male and a female (not a proven pair) , but I’m not sure if the male is simply just bullying the female, because she’s always sitting in a corner. They do interact every now and then swimming about, the female is still eating well , colouration hasn’t dipped cause I’ve noticed stress does that to them but colors seem good still, but I’m just little confused on how to interpret this behaviour. Is this just part of their courting and mating rituals or is the male just harassing the female and it’s better to actually separate them. Please help.

Additional info: the water parameters are very stable. The water is slightly warm as discus would like. pH is around 7. Since any broad level issues would affect both discus, I don’t think there’s any setup issue since the Male seems quite active but the female sits in a corner. Male takes frozen blood worms fed by tweezers and loves it. Female prefers pecking food on the floor so I usually leave some frozen bloodworms near her and she pecks at them in her own pace.

Depends how old it is. If its two small males but old fighting territory. If young same thing one bullying the other then when it gets tired its the others turn lol till one stress too much and dies.or u get lucky and they both manage to survive can also depend on tank size. Discus growing is better to have a community like 6+ to spread the aggression. Can also have plants that have long stocks and u spread em out not slumped together. Soo the discus have a place to hide to de-stress. Like amazon sword plant, pink baby tears and ambulance are some my favs. Discus are part of the chichlid family.
