I have a 36 gallon bowfront tank, stocked with 10 Black Neons, 1 Guppy, 7 Sterbia Cory, and 1 Pearl Gourami. All the fish seem fine, except during feeding time.
When I feed the Pearl eats all the floating flakes, and then goes down to the bottom and chases off the Cory any time they have found food, sometimes hitting the Cory to make it go away, and then picking up the food, over and over until he's satisfied there is no more food
I'm curious regarding how I should proceed? Everything I read was that Pearl Gourami's aren't aggressive, should I take him back to the LFS and try my luck with another one (His colors are gorgeous)? Should I just let it be (since it's just during feeding)? Or is there anything I can do to help the issue?
