I have a black molly that's chasing or following one of my golden gouramis around and looks like he's either trying to bite around his anal fin area or smelling it lol. Have anyone witnessed this kind of behavior??? He's been doing it for like two days...

Btw...the golden gourami doesn't look bothered by it.

My dalmatian lyretail did that when I added my silver lyretail for the first half day. The silver didn't seem bothered and by the end of the day the dalmatian lyre was following the silver one like a lost puppy.

I found this interesting since my dal. lyretail was the dominant fish in the tank and is now giving the silver first dibs on food.

So maybe it's a submissive action?
