So iv had my green mandarin for about 7 months now it's been healthy the whole time and to my knowledge is now. Iv also had a humbug damsel for a little over a year. The humbug bid generally a A hole to new fish but hasn't picked on my mandarin for a long time. In almost all instances the humbug was aggressive it was either a new fish or a fish trying to get in his cave. Over the last week or so iv noticed the humbug damsel going out of its way to find the mandarin and do what looks like biting it. The strange part is when this happens neither fish is showing signs of aggression. Neither fish is raising their Dorsal spines and the mandarin does even seem to try to get away until it's hit a handful of times and even then no lifting of the dorsal or anything. I'm getting concerned for the mandarin though because iv never seen the damsel go out of its way like this to pick on another fish.
