aggressive false perc

[sherpa]

I have two juv. false percs in a 20g. I have had them for about 2 months and recently the slightly larger one has been relentlessly chasing the smaller one. Is this normal? Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

This is normal behaviour as the larger is turning female and asserting dominance over the smaller fish.

As long as she isn't physically harming the other, then things should be ok.

Thanks..
She hasn't hurt the other one yet, she doesn't actually make contact.
