Hey guys so I got a new Triangulum Butterfly a couple days ago and decided to use a matured tank that went through a fallow period not long ago as a QT without medication, just so he can adjust to eating traditional aquarium foods. I also put my Peppered Butterfly in there so the Triangle Butterfly could easier learn what to eat by watching since the Peppered already eats oysters and worms which is what I want him to eat as well. However the Peppered Butterfly chases the new guy around and follows him...he hasn't been nipping at him as far as I can tell though...it's not constant chasing but enough that it's probably stressful. Is this behavior likely to stop after he gets used to the new guy or am I going to need to separate them? I'd prefer not to separate them unless absolutely necessary because I feel that will make it a lot harder for the Triangle to learn to eat aquarium food if he doesn't see another fish eating it.
